Steve, We spoke to Reno at Welshpool, he sets all the rules, and he said they were legal:D It's just the same as echausts, if there too loud thenyou can get a yellow for them:D

Thats funny that pits nite the other week Reno said BOV's are legal only if they DONT vent to the atmosphere. same with oil catch cans

and dosnt matter how big ya zaust is as long as it reads lower than the db level for that particular car and year and isnt lower than 100mm of the ground and dosnt interfere with the effiency of the cat convertor ie cat heats up to the correct temp so to burn nox gasses....

lol @ butters...

thats why i went to the info night.. to stop chinese whispers!! looks like it'll always be around!! :)

apart from all this - i wouldn't bother with permits until you get done.. reno himself said if we don't know about it or don't notice it - why tell us.. tho in not so many words.. :)

Hhahahah, yeah its not like it costs us 50 dollars or something for one visit and then 30 dollars for the next, let them pull you over and yellow sticker you, cause hey its all free, and we all have time to do it. Stupid tossers, just keep your car standard, its where the action is.

RB20 - it won't cost you the $50 if the yellow isn't warranted. If they can't fault the car when you take it to the pits they don't charge you and notify the offending police officer of his incorrect application of the yellow sticker...

Well thats what he said anyways..

If i ever get stickered for my BOV ill just stick my standard one back on again, take it down the pits, get the yellow off, put turboXs bov back on (because its quieter anyway) and keep driving the streets.

It may vent to atmosphere, but at least it doesnt go "whoosh" with every miniscule movement of the acellerator pedal.... its got mitsubishi symbol on the side of the stock bov, maybe its that :D

    • Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...
    • Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.
    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
