hey fellow skyliners,

I've got a r33 gtst, and I want to get myself a bov for the sound haha. umm, what is the most reccommended bov do u guys suggest? one that will not cause me trouble with leaks, etc... and possibly street legal (but doesnt have to be). Are there disadvantages and advantages of having a bov? To install a bov, does it need any extra gadgets installed? or is it just a plugin device? Sorry for the noob questions, but i'm just down for the sound :)

btw, which one will produce the best sound...

The first question is, its you car modified to a large extend, as in larger fuel pump or larger turbo? Because if u do Venting BOV's will stall your engine.

it might not stall all the time but it does sometime. It actually makes the car run slower and alot richer, as between gear changes u get that little flat spot with the atmo bov which i noticed quite badly. This was with a Blitz atmo one which i hated. I now have gtr bov's and they are so much better with the wanker sound.

I think it will ok, exept u will only get the sound when u back of the accelerator. The atmposhere BOV makes the noise and the Plumb back BOV's make no noise. Try putting in a HKS SSQV, but try it on your car before you buy it because it might not work. Better yet just buy a Plumb back because it wont cause you any problems. It all depends on what you prefer, Rice or Performance.

flex i'll give you 24 hours before I close this thread because you are gonna get the shit bagged out of you by all the members of this forum.

Atmo BOV's are only of any use if you make some decent power. Atmo BOV on a stock car is silly. Atmo BOV on a stock automatic car is even sillier. Save your money and go buy a single R34 GTR turbo for the same cost as a HKS SS Fart Valve.

I love the sound of my factory BOVs releasing a muted woosh :rant:

I also liked the sound of the SSQV on my old GTSt too, but sometimes can get a bit annoying when trying to 'stealth' about (yeah right, wiht that 108dB exhaust that was on it!)

Yeh I've taken off my HKS Super-Sequential at the moment, the factory BOV sounds alright.. just doesnt have the same effect

Oh well. BOV's attract cops, the EPA say they create "undue noise polution", so cops can defect anyone for having an after market BOV :rant: it's not fair... can't have fcuk all mods these days without being picked on :)

LOL... BOVs are not only public enemy no.1 of police/EPA but forum members too :rant:

I hide in corner and hugs my BOV box "i just loves my BOV, just loves it i do"

NOT TRUE!

I had a Turbosmart BOV that I installed both as Vented & Plumbed back [to test it] on different occasions [not a dual port] and it made almost as much noise when plumbed back! Was only a little bit quieter. Still made the Flutter sound and Psssht sounds depending on Revs and bov setting, stock bov doesnt make either of these sounds, just a nice woosh through the air cleaner!

You can still get plenty of noise out of a "plumb back"!!!

My R33 came with a Blitz blow me valve that worked and sounded fine. BUT....

Blow me valves are a waste of time, all it will do it make people look at you when you drive past and think "Gee look at that co(k smoker" :P Sorry but it's true. Not to mention the fact thats it's almost like having a sticker on the back of your car saying "My car is defective".

      Original window sticker?

      By Celticsfan03 · Posted

      Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
