Wow this thread got confusing all of a sudden lol.

Quick little story, I remember getting asked at Autobarn back in the day if we sold the bov's that go into your exhaust for NA cars, I started pissing myself laughing and then realised the guy was being serious and it was a very awkward 10 seconds :)

Perhaps the RAA guy meant an atmospheric bov - ie venting 'exhaust' (which is actually just intake air) hence the pssshht - as opposed to a plumb back standard one?

Possibly, could you do this to the stock bov?

Still running stock intercooler? not sure where else an atmo bov would be unless hidden down in the guard plugged into stock cooler piping...?

Yea still got stock cooler for now

what mods did the car come with? is it close to stock or fairly done up?

my money is on an external wastegate, and the op bought the car without much knowledge

Yea the cars fairly stock, just got the usual turbo back exhaust, pod and coilpacks

i think we're all confused! hahaha

im totally out of ideas, its safe to say it could be anything at all.

stock bov cant go atmo easily, will stall and run like a bag and will be loud as f__k! tried it once for laughs.

look at all ur piping carefully, ive seen plenty of after market ones hidden in the inner guard :)

if u want to, go to a friendly workshop that know skylines and just take one of the guys for a quick spin. he'll tell u straight away what it is.

had a guy once who'd just bought a stagea and was tripping out/concernbed about a weird whistling/sucking noise, was just his hks pod! LOL

Can't we just assume that it is the 'exhaust bov' as stated in post #2 of this thread? It keeps the ball rolling, lol.

lol haha mate i dont mind taking the mickey out of myself but id never install anything that dumb!

Lol dw mate, all in good fun :)

So let's keep this going - bring on page 4!

haha ok well im assuming ill see a few laughs for this... as embarrasing as it is this was the only way i could show you guys a video, now on youtube.

Dont bother watching, just listen, quality is crap as is taken on my phone.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
