Hey guys,

i think it must have been a thread that got lost with the down time... but someone wanted me to let them know how it went when i got my BOV put on...

I response to that... SWEEET.... i have it tuned so it flutters down low and makes the big WAAAACHHHSHSHSHHHHH up high....

havn't had any problems with stalling or backfiring or anything so it's all good...

Also, how much would you usually pay to have a BOV like this installed on a R32 GTS-t? I reckon i could have done it myself but the ppl who i got the car off said i have to have it done there to keep warranty... damn b4st4rds charged me $200 for it too... bit pricy i reckon... what about you guys?....

Yeah, that's what i originally though, but because you cant face the trumpet up... they had to extend the plumback tubin (cutting the metal pipeline) so that the tubing could be bent the right way to go onto the bov...

About 1/2 an hours work i reckon... damn B4ST4RDS, they know i wanna keep my warranty... so they charged a stupid price...

Yep, mines blue too... :)

yeah, i got the adapter for $50 as well... got the BOV for $250.... all straight from GFB...

To mount it, youll have to point the adapter towards the drivers side and face the trumpet forward... that's the easiest way so that the hoses will bend efficiently....

I thought it'd be better to cut a circle in the bonnet and place fine mesh over it (on the underneath so it looks good from outside)... then face the trumpet up.... maybee that can be a future mod for me... :D

yeah they are a good thing to have, mine was stalling before i had the plumbback attached, only cost me $100 bucks but i think that was a bit dear when look at what was done!!

glad your happy with it though!

adapter... with the size of the BOV, won't you have truble fittin it under the bonnet with that adapetr?... Looks like it's designed so the BOV will stand up on it???

Do you hav a mount set up for it or something?....

To tune it, the guy at GFB told me to adjust the nut lookie thing on the top (i think he called it the actuanator or sumfin...) about 1/2 a turn at a time and see how it goes... he said it's ok to flutter under about 3500RPM and about 3-4PSI...

instantly went into "R32 mode" in my head... lol

Yeah, wouldn't have a clue about any others so the mechanic would be right....

If ya have any troubles with adjustment, just ring the guys at GFB... they're really good... they'll tell ya exactly what to do... I wrote down what the guy told me but can't find the bit of paper... lol...

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
