as alot of people will tell u its wank factor. Personally i like some bovs... i hate the ones that go PPSSHHHHHH but i like whistles. Will it help your performance? It may or may not keep boost levels up during gear changes, alot of people debate so i dont know the real answer.

Yes you could do it yourself. alot of HOW TO's on the net and its a very simple task

Wank factor upgrading a factory BOV to a better factory BOV?... rightyo...

Gimpy - have a search. Ive posted (and others) how to fit a GTR BOV a a replacement for a GTS-t item.

It was about 6 or so months ago. Pretty straight forward.

Remembering GTR's have two, so you only use one.

Cheers

the standard items are usually dirty and therefore crap.

I'll take them off your hands for $50 which should help you on your way to a much bigger and ofcourse BLING-ier HKS, Super Squeek Valve.

Lol, if the stockies are dirty, why are you after them?

I'm a little confused, do I need 1 or 2?

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
