Ok I know I know that my car is not a Skyline but I had to share this info with you I just found out.

Just found an interesting fact out about my car, it never came out of the factory with a BOV!.. how weird is that?!?!

Engine in question here is a 1G-GTEU.

It has been fitted with an aftermarket BOV since (blitz atmo), but never had a factory one... found this out when i was trying to find a BOV that went back into the system.

Wouldn't this be damaging to the turbo's?.. especially if uping the boost?.

Guess I will have to just keep the atmo one and hope for the best :rofl:.

Dean did your mates Supra have a BOV on it?

Hey rob, mate my mates was bone stock. It had no bov afaik and all i remember about the car was its water to air intercooler.

Like i said mate, there is absolutely nothin about this engine.

All i can think off is that the BOV is meant to help protect the turbo and help it spool faster, so really, i dont think it can be hurtin them too much.

Hows the car goin now anyway? I wouldnt mind seeing it soon. Comin to the cruise on sun 25th?

Hey Dean,

Ahh he must have had a Gen II 1G-GTE , mine is Air to Air intercooled. Gen III 1G-GTE came out in the 1988 models and changed from water/air to air/air and was factory rated at 210 BHP (or around that) up from 175BHP in the Gen II.

Na I mean't I thought it would do damange not having a BOV :O.

Car is going great now, the Alternator was causing all those probs I was having.. since i got it fixed I havn't had a single prob :O.

I can't come to next weeks cruise as I have a 40th the night before and yeah won't be in any shape to drive the next day :rofl:.

However the next cruise I will be there, confirmed it already with the misses hehe.

Hopefully by then it will be lowered... (getting whiteline springs put in)

Hmm interesting indeed.

On another note, do you ever remember seeing an external antenna on your mate's car?.... Mine doesnt have 1 at all on the exterior.. it must be somewhere under the body?, unsure if this is factory or not.....yet the MA70 & JZA70 have them on the rear (right side).

Cheers thanks Danish :(

Mine runs a boost controller (unplugged at present tho) so want to keep to BOV on there just incase.

See you have a GZ20 Soarer .. there is one of them around the corner from where I live but it is not registered yet, looks like it has just been imported and hasn't gone to regency yet.. very nice looking cars.

I had a Blitz BOV on my old 1G for a while. But it didn't vent much at all since there was a problem with the engine. I think it was very low compression in the end.

A friend of mine welded the standard metal peice the BOV came with from a Silvia to fit the 1G.

I ran about 15PSI in the end with and without a BOV.

How about just cut loose the 1G and get a 1JZ? :(

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
