Post a pic up

I made mine work off the HKS intake pipe (already has the port for a BOV return but) with 2 90degree rubber hoses and a straight bit of Aluminium pipe. My BOV has a custom fitting to allow it to be plumback

Mine has a Front facing intake manifold so thats why its plumbed back the way it is, Might not be much help but I'll put a photo up anyway:

Ok I don't have the stock one and I have custom piping and pod will the stock one still hook up?

If that's the case, show pics or at least tell us what BOV etc so we can tell you what to do, yes it's possible to plumb it back into your piping...

Ohhh they are the ones that look like the LOL meme guy :P

That makes life harder as I don't know if you can get a plumb back pipe for it, it kinda defeats the purpose of having it too....

Maybe revert to stock or another style

On any normal day i would be against the cops for defects, but a BOV isn't exactly a performance upgrade and they do sh*t me at times.... But that's just my opinion....

You don't have the time to mess around, are you running stock turbo etc? Can u borrow std gear to

Use? (I would honestly look into a permanent fix as its just gunna happen again and if it does they may pick on you for other stuff for wasting their time)....

Still post a pic if u can

I run a high mount turbo and the BOV is plumbed back into the intake, 100% plumbed back... See if you can do the same, but once again we need to see it to be able to tell you...

Is your bov mounted on a round fitting with a circlip or the normal 2 bolt type flange? If you have the 2 bolt flange you can buy a (or my) GTR bov which will look stock (well it is stock) but be a bit more robust than an RB25DET one. You still need to find a place to plumb the return in though - shouldn't cost too much to get a piece welded on your intake.

No it's all custom piping intake pipe turbo piping and piping from pod to turbo

post a photo of your engine bay, so we can see your custom piping.

If you are still running the stock crossover piping and its just your intake and hot pipe thats changed, you will just need to get a bung welded onto the intake pipe, a stock bov and a return pipe.

I have a stock rb25det bov and a gtr one in the shed, but obviously we need to see your setup so we can give you advice.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
