Ok.. so im getting my car serviced on the weekend, and I was thinking of getting them to fit a BOV while they are at it.

Now, realistically, all I want it for is the wank factor. Sure the sound is loud at the minute with the Pod, but I want the typical Whiplash sound that we all know and love (or hate).

The question is, since I already have an SAFC, I can have it venting to the atmo without comming into any issues?

Should I leave the stock BOV as well?

If I plumbback the aftermarket BOV, do I still get my wanky rice sound?

I'm, looking at some sort of Turbosmart BOV... any recommendations?

Cheers.

:boobs:

yeh youll have to block off the std BOV but thats not a real issue

it will cause some slight problems with fuel mixtures but nothing serious

turbosmarts are very loud and in my opinion rediculous, if youre gunah get an atmo venting BOV go for something a little quieter like a HKS SSQ as the turbosmarts will piss you off after a while, i know the **** me to tears in my mates 180!!

I owned a highly modified VL Calais Turbo before this.. trust me, i know all about defects. :nod:

Literally, I couldnt give a rats ass what the cops thought, I want to enjoy my car for what it is, not what they think it should be. :shake:

Thanks for the info.. now I gotta chase up a BOV before saturday :cool:

I've just bought a GFB Hybrid. It's convertible from two trumpets (it actually becomes a Bovus Maximus if you do this), one trumpet and a plumbback hose (so you don't get stalling and running rich probs) or two hoses for silent operation.

BTW The 2 hose one is not mentioned on their site, but you can do it with a bit of fancy tubing.

That was the whole reason I bought it, so I could convert it from noisy to quiet.

I got a turbosmart plumb back on my r32 and can say they work pretty good. the advantage adout this particular BOV is that i can make it plumb back then a miniute with a socket set can make it vent 2 atmos. in plumb back the sound isnt much louder than std. but when V2A it lets go with a huge PPPSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! a bit like the sound when you let the air out of a tyre. It works well in both ways.

heres a pic of the plumb back and the supersonic turbo smart BOV. Notice they are exactly the same BOV but the super sonic has a trumpet sort of Xhaust housing wheres the plumb back has a out let pipe!!!

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?

      I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk

      Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
