To me plumback just feels smoother,but on vent I like the spool but not the wishhttt!so much but i do like the backfires and im sure it cant be bad to be rich for a second?and no theres no cat

I mean why did they make vent?is it faster boost for drift?my car feels harder on vent but softer and smother on plumback.

post your views on what u like about what u have,being it vent or not?it will be interesting to hear your views and start some gossip :(

I have a GHB that does both thats all.

plumbback

Nice and quiet.

Venting was invented for race cars. The view was, they didn't want air entering the engine that has to go through the turbo 2 or 3 times, so they'd dump it to atmosphere.

As for back fires. If you have ceramic turbines, yes, it can be quite bad for the turbo.

i have a stock plumback GTR bov on my GTS-T and im happy with it. don't like the thought of having a massive venting pssstttcchhh sound everytime i change gears, and its 1 thing less you have to worry about with the police pulling you over.

BAM: I know of guys who run return lines from down UNDER the front bar on the drivers side back to the intake pipe.

As for back fires. Seriously. Think, what is a backfire. It's fuel, igniting as it goes out of the engine. What does ignited fuel create? Heat. What do ceramic turbos hate? Heat...

I know that, I'm just giving a reason why some people don't run bov return pipes... Personally I'd always vent the bov back, I can't survive without daily driving ability.

personally i hate atmo venting valves. they pointless for most street cars, all they do is attract unwanted cop attention and make your car stall but everyones different i guess.

plumb back or no valve at all is my cup of tea! love the sound of chatter!

Whats wrong with your stock BOV?

I would personally just use the stock one.

If you just want a BOV that works, and does what it is supposed to, just use the stock one. its got all the stock plumbing in the intake pipe, and its all plumbed back for you.

Cost effective, cant get defected, and it works. What more could you want?

I've seen people running 18psi+ on a standard R32 BOV without it leaking, I can only presume an R33 one would be better due to its age, and new design..

I doubt your running more than that sort of boost?

Thanks,

Abu

i recently just put back on my stock BOV....and its fine i guess but i still like the wank factor a atmo one gives.

and everyone knows it here majority of us like it that way.

to be honest the every day street car will not benefit shit all from a atmo or a stock bov, but u gotta ask yourself is it causing more trouble then good.

with cops these days its a real pain to be constantly defected and requiring a RWC.

me personally have learnt the hard way so im stickn with the stock bov for a while, its diffrent....so im happi

ATMO when you don't need it, is for wankers.

You want to keep creating a bad image for all other skyline owners, go ahead. I'll sell mine and buy something thats image hasn't been f**ked in the ass by a whole heap of try hards.

I have a 300rwkw Skyline and I'm still running the factory BOV. Why? Because the car doesn't stall, the cops don't hear it, and so I don't look like a wanker.

Seriously, when was the last time chicks came running out flashing their tits and vaginas trying to get into your car because they heard the sound of your BOV? 98% of people that hear it think you're a try hard wanker. That is the complete truth.

No one cares that your car goes whoosh and backfires everytime you change gears.

were did 700 bucks come from? 300 will get you a gfb hybrid bov

yeah it is only the electronic on that is 700.

and running a plumback bov is better because the air that is getting plumed back in has been through the intercooler and is nice and cold.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
