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.

    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
    • Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy.
