The only place ive seen that has an aftermarket metal intake pipe (metal is meant to make the flutter echo and sound better) is on the nengun website Apexi have a full intake kit for the r33gtst and possibly 32 but im not to sure.

Only prob is its like $300 but it does include everything you need and the pod filter too

While on the bov question. My car I just bought has 2 bov's in place :P as seen below:

I want to remove the aftermarket one, so I bought a new stock cooler return pipe (black pipe). I was going to replace it today, but then noticed that the vaccum line has be re-routed to the aftermarket bov, and the stock bov has the pipe where the vaccum attached removed/blocked with a screw!!

SO, can I replace the cooler pipe to remove the aftermarket BOV and just block the hose from the manifold?

How does it affect the operation of the factory BOV if it doesn't have a vaccum/boost reference?

If you dont block this hose, does this not cause a boost/manifold leak?

Cheers for the help

You would want to use the stock bov if you dont have an aftermarket ecu of some sort because the stock ecu has been programmed to run with a plumb back bov so not having one will make your car run richer at certain times (ie gear changes) just run the vac source back to the stockie bov

and yes if you didnt block the boost/vac source it would cause a leek

Sambo33, it sounds so much better with the plate there :P. I'm going to get the intake pipe this week hopefully, otherwise might just pm shy180, how much did people on here pay for just that pipe usually?

yeah i blocked it off this morning, lots of chatter now! haha. i took it for a quick drive and everything works fine, no stalling ect. i couldnt really open up the throttle too much (being in the city and all) but i think it feels a bit more responsive than before.

i cant remember what i paid for the intake pipe, ill try and find out.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
