I have a GTST 96 model and have just put a saber intercooler kit on and replaced hot pipe and crossover pipe (top pipe) to inlet. I have also put on an apexi pod filter and the BOV on. The only other mod is the exhaust; from cat back, everything else is stock.

The problem i am having is the BOV fitted does not have a soft or hard setting therefore will not open properly, i have been advised to cut 15-30mm off the valve spring but am not sure if this will fix the problem or cause further dramas??

Can anyone HELP!

Maybe a replacement spring for this valve is available?

cheers guys

cutting it will make it stiffer, less coils makes a higher spring rate... yet perhaps its too long :S

i dont understand tho, the title says TIAL 50mm copy, which makes me think you mean a external WG, but your talking about a bov?

More info is required, and explain what is not working properly

Or you could put the factory one back on there, won't cost you a cent and will work fine.

I mean fair enough you've changed it (you should have used a GTR one)... but to change for a copy? Thats silly.

Cutting the spring might work, but totally depends if its now to short and won't seat properly, rendering the BOV totally useless with the chopped spring in there

Its a tial 50mm BOV copy (non genuine) it was actually given to me. Still factory turbo and wastegate.

Since the modifications mentioned in my original post the BOV will not open properly, we think maybe not enough boost for this size BOV. But we dont want to up the boost just yet as still standard turbo and dont want to damage anything.

Pretty sure even genuine Tial does not have soft hard setting, already had custom top pipe made to fit this BOV, so would have to have another top pipe made to change BOV if thats what your suggesting.

Really just curious if i can get a replacement valve spring with correct spring tension to make this BOV work.

Cheers for your feedback

Hi,

Unfortunately as i have changed the top pipe i will have to put stock one back on to put stock BOV on.

My boyfriend got this work done for me and I only found out today it was not a genuine tial... i tend to agree with you about the genuine stuff but apparently even genuine Tials dont have soft hard setting which i think is the poroblem, otherwise i would have bought one.

But yes that was my worry about them hacking my spring as i dont want to do any damage...

Do you know if i can get another spring that will fit that will have correct tension?

Cheers mate

no you don't.

You'll have to weld to get the TIAL one on there, so what's the difference to just welding to put a GTR one on there?

Will cost you around $50 IMO to have it welded + stock GTR BOV (~$70).

Problem solved, and the GTR BOV will hold 370rwkw in single form.

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
