hey guys i got a r32 and **** me u can hear the std bov a mile a way! I have a hks air filter and all the pressure is blown out throw that as there is nowhere else for it to go! sounds good!@not sure if the previous owner took the plumback bit off?

what would happen if u put a piece of woopy cushion over the end of the bov snout?? Hehehe imagin the noise hehe

The pipe i think your talking about is the one about an inch in diameter going down towards the turbo? Thats the recirculation pipe it goes back into the pipe from your air filter and is plumbed in just before the turbo. If you take this off youll have to modify your pipe from air filter to turbo, either getting stainless piping or patching the stock one.

Just get a pod filter and leave the plumb-back in place, the sound will be almost as loud.

Hehe, i think a kazoo or something would sound pretty funny too.

ok i tried this the other day and yeah the car runs heaps rich. I loved the sound but....the car wouldnt idle properly and stalled most times i came to a stop. HOWEVER if u disconnect the vacuum line going from the inlet manifold to ur BOV and block it off then..... insted of pshhhhht its "FLUTTER". Sounds amazing and the car runs a little richer but not really noticeable

What, the whoopie cushion idea? Or the kazoo idea?  :P

Check the net and you'll see its been done before, theres some movies around, I think it was some sort of Mazda, tried various things, eg baloons, party streamers etc, sounded quite funny. No link sorry, shouldn't be too hard to find...

Btw, my stock R32 GTSt bov is like twice as loud as the my GTS25t one, same filter too, dunno why that is...

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
