Hey all,i have a forward facing plenum on my ECR33 and was wondering if its ok to put the BOV on the pipe that goes from the turbo to the intercooler instead of the pipe that goes from the intercooler to the plenum.Will it work just as well?

Factory engineers place the valve farthest from the turbo, and closest to the throttle. Air mass travelling through the piping and i/c have a certain amount of inertia, and I'd think you want to relieve the pressure closest to the throttle.

Packaging would be easiest over on the compressor side depending on your pipework layout. Suggest giving it a go, and if unsatisfactory then have another go with a location near the throttle then. Lots more time/effort if you want to mount it on the RHS and get the return plumbing right.

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2

      Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.

      Hey all. I’m looking on replacing my speed sensor on my R33 GTR. Will the center differential need to be drained, and if so, the center diff uses ATF fluid D? I found information on the transmission, front diff and rear diff. Can’t find a for sure answer for the center diff. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
