I used to love my old Turbosmart Supersonic, had a cool schh schh schh sound between a vent and a dose. Problem was though, literally EVERY time I got pulled over, the cops would either pick on or notice it.

Ended up going to an ARC which I also had VTA, didnt sound bad either. This was due to my cooler piping not being stock and not having anywhere to recirc to and my own laziness in not rectifing this lol.

Also wasn't running a MAF ;)

Bahahahahaha. Lol. I'm sorry this thread is awesome makes my day so much better reading it.

Dude! You obviously want an atmo bov so go on YouTube or go check out George street of a sat night.

That is all dot dot dot dot.

I only changed mine to a Turbosmart Raceport when I went to single turbo and also ViPec ems. Getting rid of that also gave my oil cooler a home. I'm a fan of the standard GTR valves as they are proven and work well.

I just needed some extra space ;) lol

Hey Fellas, Serious question.. If someone had to run a haltech ecu which eliminates the purpose of the standard afms... would that make a aftermarket BOV work ok?

I've got a R32 GTR, Standard BOV's and near stock... Not intending on changing my bov's either they sound good and cops cant f**k me up but was just curious hey

thanks !

Yes that's fine.

I wonder why so many people dont do it then if its going to make the difference between making your car run like shit and making it run fine...

ah well.. thanks for the response man :)

Read this 4 times still no understand

You wonder why they don't change it

Or you wonder why people do it

Sorry it was regarding the haltech i spoke about.

if say you were to run one and it would make your car run good with aftermarket bov's then why dont people do it rather then just chucking a aftermarket bov with standard afm which leads to dramas.

Well they aren't exactly cheap lol.

Most people that run atmo bov's either don't know the problems they can cause, or they aren't reallyyyyyyyy that interested in performance and so wouldn't spend a lot of money on an ECU with capabilities like a Haltech. Just judging by appearance, most people I can see who ask about running atmo bov's on here tend to be all about the image of fast cars. They like the noises and the appearance, but don't want to spend the money to make it all work properly.

Not saying everybody who runs an atmo bov is in that category. Just an observation.

Very True.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
