Hey Everyone!! Ok, whats happening is that i got my car from japan and see that it has both the standard BOV and an aftermarket BLITZ one hooked up and both working. Can someone pls tell me why this would be so and if i will do any damage by taking off and blocking up the lines for the Blitz one and keeping the stock one on??? (i want performance more than show). See pics attached. Btw, its an R33 GTS-T.

hey man, I got no clue why ... I could have a guess but dont want to point you in the wrong direction...

the only thing im looking at... isnt it weird how the pipe that comes off the standard bov and arm has a perfect spot with screw holes for the other bov? almost like it was made for it.... maybe its so you can have performance and sounds??? just a thought...

aslong as both are working - take off the one you dont want and block it (and it's hose) up. Wont do anything bad.

Can't imagine why u have 2 bov's.. maybe someone was to lazy to swap bovs so just bought a aftermarket pipe with bov on it and stuck it on?

the only thing im looking at... isnt it weird how the pipe that comes off the standard bov and arm has a perfect spot with screw holes for the other bov?

Oh, lol. Nah, that pipe that the Blitz BOV is attached to is custom, not standard. It was made most likely with the intention of blocking off the standard BOV and having the aftermarket one down there on the intake pipe on its own.

:ninja:

Yeah, haha. Japs can be funny ppl (not meaning that in a racist way in any way shape or form). The car also came with 2 flares, random ass cup holders and a MASSIVE rear view mirroe that clips over the original (with a felix the cat sticker on it haha).

Anyone else got any idea whats gone on here???

well in any r33 (i have the owners manual so this is 100% true) they were fitted with flares so

i guess the owner in japan thought it was good to stay safe and cup holders are a Optional feature on a sedan......so im guessing yours is a sedan??????

the mirror is probity just a super cheap auto item japan style and gives more reason they liked to be safe :ninja:

Mine had the exact same setup with the same Bov when mine was imported :w00t:

ran both bovs the stock one not blocked off just set up as standard with the blitz bov connected up

i found that if i ran the blitz one by itself it would stall :)

i soon got a front mount. I then removed the blitz bov and ran the stock bov by itself

i found the response from the car after i did this increased a heap :)

the blitz bov is somewhere in the shed lol

my 2 cents ;)

had the exact same set up myself...

turned out my stock one was blocked off, tho looking at yours its not as obvious but there may well be a thin piece of sheet metal in there (gasket type). Mine was like a 10mm thick steel plate so it was obvious.

So yeh i would think that ur stocker is blocked off...tho as someone said above their stocker wasnt blocked off in their set up....so.. dunno

with mine blocked off and same bov as you it made the chu chu chu sound down low..and then a proper choooo blow off up high....chu chu chu sound is from air reversal through the turbo.....chooooo sound up top was the blow off valve opening and venting air. You can adjust when these happen on the nut on the bov...so as much or as little chu chu chu as u want......fully.

ps my preference is not.. so if anyone wants to buy my blitz blow valve (i painted it in black for stealth) then they may...just pm.

your biggest problem is blowby looking at the pics.

having two bov's is not damaging anything it just meant the previous owner likes a lil noise. you might find the blitz one is wound up az bit tight to stop it going off in low throttle situations. You could remove it or you could keep it if you like it. removing it wont magically give you 20kw at the wheels or anything

Yeah ive checked and the sandard one isnt blocked off. Im thinking about doing what SeanO did and just waiting till i get a FMIC and taking off the Blitz one. Or mayb taking the blitz one off and blocking up the standard one to dose lol!!! Will dosing get you a defect in qld??? As its not a bov...so cant be illegal...????

    • I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.   
    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
