agreed. Eventually.

You'll also notice your car might stall 'for no reason' at times depending on your driving style.

This is due to blocking the BOV.

The BOV is probably one of the only stock things that serves a half decent purpose (read: then I/C is crap as well as the stock turbo and the ECU to boot) I'd leave un-blocked.

your gonna notice if yur getting back fire that you are most likely chewing petrol, and yes it will affect you turbo, there are a lot of threads covering this, look them up.. theres a lot of mixed reviews, bootom line is ur std bov was put there for a reason. i know of a guy doing this to his pulsar et turbo, then his engine blew.

its your risk at the end of the day

Vl turbos dont come out with a bov, although i agree that they are there for a reason, i have had mine disconnected for along time now and no noticeable damage. Still goes alrite, um...at the end of the day if u want the noise without spending money on a ssq bov etc then it shte cheaper way out initially, maybe not in the long run.

i had two ets. both were pretty worked. when you installed the aftermarket (bosch) bov we had to block the stock bov. which we did by unscrewing the bov off and blocking it with a large type of screw that fitted in place. trust me man. maybe the previous owner took your stocky off???

its good to see a fellow n12 owner though, i had heaps of fun in those little things, my fiorst car when i was 15

Possibly... but the pipe from the turbo to the inlet looked factory. It was the start of my car hobby so wasn't as switched on about the ins and outs of turbo cars as i am now. But i never saw anything that looked like a bov. Mine was a 1984 model... perhaps they put them on the later models.

so his exa didn't have a bov either? interesting that nissan would put a bov on the ET but not the exa...

as for the flutter sound, i would be a little warey about trying to get it. It slows your turbo down so it has to build boost again after the gear change. Especially bad with a bigger turbo so perhaps not so much of an issue with the stock one.

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
