Hey guys,

Just bought my self a nice new GReddy Type RS Bov...

But it doesnt come with an adapter, which at the time didnt bother me...

But ive just been down to autobarn, and they reckon you can either buy the bov by itself, or the bov in a kit with the adapter, but you cant buy the adapter by itself. which sounds strange. They then try to sell me some universal autotechnica adapter saying I would have to use this, and they could make up a flange to fit onto the bov, which i could then connect to the adapter with a peice of silicon hose.

Surely there is a better way?

I just need something like (extremely poorly) pictured here, which is a far superior solution than the one autobarn suggest.

Hopefully someone can help...

Thanks all

is that from justjap? imo version??? .... i have the same 1 . iv had mine in the cupboard for like 4 months... im making a flange to bolt it too. then il bolt it into the stock holes....

the adaptor you can get just bolts to the bov - with a round pipe to get welded to your fmic pipe or so.... pain in the ass if you ask me

The bov you mean? No its a genuine GReddy Type-RS.

might draw up a pic of the pictured adapter in the original post and take it to a few places see if i can get it made up..

cant cost much. single block of steel with a big hole in the middle and 4 drilled holes, No bigger than about 80x60x10mm :D

i just installed mine - with the flange i just made ... and the only sound im really getting from it , is flutter... and its comming from the turbo... i adjusted it both tight and loose... and still sounds the same.... not much sound to it .. i was told it would make a ptsshhhhh sound.

A fluttering bov is a bov that does open...

Vac connected propperly?

Ill let you know how i go with mine..

Sinista: Yer, i think thats what im gonna have to do.

So no one knows where one can be bought?

(In regards to autobarn) I dont bring them in to help curb the sale of copy BOV's. Another reason is any decent exhaust shop can knock one up for the same price or less.

cheers trent

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
