hi guys

iam a new memeber (as you can probably see) and recenlty purchased a new r33, last night i was stopped by the police and they asked me if i had a permit for my BOV nothing else just BOV. I explained this was a new car and what have you to them and they where very nice and told me to get it looked at at let me go. Now how do i go about getting a permit? any information at all would be nice.

Thanks :laugh:

You can going to any of the licensing centers and request a permit for any aftermarket modifications, but beware they may not pass your car.

If the BOV vents to atmosphere then you may have issues getting a permit, depending on ow loud it is and who you get.

Best of luck.

My car came with permits, one item listed was an aftermarket PLUMBACK bov. I am replacing the atmo bov that it came with a stock one this weekend just to avoid any yellow hassles in the future.. it's damn loud and I know the cops frown upon it.

When you say they only asked about the BOV and nothing else.. what else is there? do you have a fmic? exhaust etc? if so I'd get these thrown on the permit at the same time, not all of the boys in blue are that friendly..

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
