the gtr twins are located after the front mount but before the plenum.

im not sure how they are attached to the fmic piping. they are near the water bottle washer. i dont think it would be a direct swap and would need an adapter plate to mate it up. what problem did u have with the stock one?

if that fails, you should have a look at the GFB Hybrid bov. it's able to be fully plumbed back, and has quite a bit of spring adjustment. Contact Brett Turner at Go Fast Bits. He'll sort you out.

A stock gtr bov will bolt on...i've got one on my car...only thing is u need a larger diameter plumback hose as the gtr one is considerably larger...

any idea what diameter? an what sort of length hose am I in need of? any pics of your set-up (how you've changed the hose)?

glad to hear it'll just bolt on.

everyone keeps saying turbo surge......the flutter is only when changing gear...ie not on boost...ie when the BOV opens an due to not strong enough spring in there its bouncing.....fastly open/closing.....fluttering.....so how can this be a turbo problem?

well yes, it bolts straight up, used the top radiator hose from Telstar TX5 (cut a small straight section from it) to plumback to standard pipe (as the GTR outlet is a bigger diameter). using the old pipe I cut about a 3cm lenght of it off an put it in the other end of the telstar rad pipe as a reducer onto the stock plumback steel pipe.

but I still have the flutter :), an now if my timing of getting my foot off the accelerator when clutch goes in isnt perfect, I get a touch of VL turbo full sik dose pipe noise. strange...I thought the GTR bov would be better than the standard item...its pretty much the same.

luckily it only cost me $40 or id be pretty un-impressed, but now I guess i do get to add "GTR BOV" to the modifcation list of my car....lol

they have stiffer springs, the outlet pipe is bigger diameter an so is the diameter of the BOV inlet hole (part that bolts to pipe)

an if you sit them side by side...they dont look the same (RB20/25 BOV's made by Mitsubishi, GTR BOV's Made by nissan)

but I still have the flutter :), an now if my timing of getting my foot off the accelerator when clutch goes in isnt perfect, I get a touch of VL turbo full sik dose pipe noise. strange...I thought the GTR bov would be better than the standard item...its pretty much the same.

weird man.

I never once had an issue with my single GTR BOV.

It let off perfectly every single time... But then, Race Pace was where it was fitted... highly likely that was some sneaky change/mod to it :)

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
