I've got the standard rb20 plumback bov on my rb25 (r32 with 25det and highflow) but its just way too loud even on 10psi, sounds like a stupid aftermarket hks gay one.

I was considering putting a gasket with a very small hole on the bov, limiting how fast it can vent the air to try and quieten it down.

I like the sound the pod makes so I don't really want to remove this, is there any easy way to keep the induction noise but quieten down the noise when you throttle off? Is my idea likely to work?

Restricting the size of the bov orifice in an attempt to decrease the amount of air it can vent, will just cause more flutters... I don't think you'll be able to get less bov noise without also getting less induction noise (i.e. change filters).

either rb20 bov's are pretty loud or yours and my definition of loud is different, ive got a r32 gtr bov on my rb25 and i dont think its loud at all, i had an apexi dual chamber bov on there before (a fairly quiet atmo bov) and the gtr bov is much quieter.

Well it is quieter than a proper aftermarket atmo venting one, but it still is loud enough for people to look at you like a dickhead everytime it comes on boost.

Its a skyline, you automatically have hoon tattooed to your forehead when you drive it. Wear this with pride.

Yeah, I used to have a 2 door HR31 and you got lots of 'wow I have never seen one of those before' looks now I just get 'wow you are a dickhead'

:D

GTR bov will probably be quieter at 10psi, they only start to get loud when you run lots of boost. Get a GTR bov :)

What is the difference, just a stronger spring? I wonder if there is a way to open it up, would be easier if I could just preload the spring in mine with a few washers.

Made a gasket out of a coke can, cut a square hole about 1cm^2 in the middle, put it on top of the original metal gasket and did it up as tight as I could. Result was very quiet flutter and no BOV noise, the car is also much faster so I'm guessing the old one was leaking boost for whatever reason, or possibly was opening up whilst on vacuum making the turbo work harder.

Highly recommend it to people who want flutter but not annoying VL dose style, or if they want to quieten down the bov noise, I'm sure if I made the hole slightly bigger it would be even quieter again.

    • I can ship Nismo floor mats to you: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/nismo-floor-mats-for-skyline-r33-bcnr33-stagea-wgnc34?_pos=1&_sid=9278c1467&_ss=r  
    • Here's the link: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6642/misc/G49?frame_no=WGNC34-137122 What you think about it? The same product i found on nengun: https://www.nengun.com/oem/parts/40567/MiPwn5qAMfCfmpxHNDnwn5q9MDAx8J-QiW9sZC1qcC0xMTAtRzQ5LS0wMDE/Floor+Carpet+%2F+Mat+2/0688339eba149c19 Bot i have spoken to 😅 ensured me, that mats are 100% original, oem product. I have my doubts. I also heard what you mentioned, that nengun often offers items that are actual not available... On the other hand mats i found on japanese yahoo or ebay are in poor condition and still quite expensive so i'd rather wait for some better offers. My location - Poland. We literaly don't have ANY market for used Stagea parts so need to search outside Europe.
    • You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not
    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
