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...

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
