I'd probably read a bit into what a wastegate actually is and does first. Any stock skyline turbo has a built in wastegate, external wastegates are only normally used on larger turbo's that require them.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wastegate

Both an external wastegate and extrnal venting BOV are noisy and illegal. If you get caught with them you'll have to remove them and go for an EPA inspection. I would strongly recommend against it if your car is a daily and you don’t want cop attention.

dude i would read the post here in the sticky, a bov will set u back 300 bucks and your car will be miss firing all the time. 2 weeks later u will take it off. the screamer pipe will come off with 4 weeks also. and if u don't take it off, the epa inspection will.

A GOOD mushroom pod is 100 bucks and legal, sounds good also :blush:

gotta be careful cause u may get an epa and major defect, not really worth it. Trust me i went through it recently, a pod is the way to go (HKS)

if you want to see how loud your car will be with POD filter

pop the bonnet, undo the top lid of the std airbox and take the top lid off

drive around for about 30 seconds

thats how loud your car will be a POD

youll find you wont need to change the BOV or do anything

the stock one is loud as once you fit a POD filter

Keep the plumb back bov, the cops around here (frankston) are pretty good, no need to give them reasons to look at every skyline around here, not that there is many.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
