Have a Pair of type 2 V port blow off valves for sale. They are brand new polished Turbosmart copies with the only differance being the shape of the screw on cap.

Genuine sell for $300 each. Note they are NOT plumback. Internally they are an exact copy and work exactly the same.

Asking $175 each

May trade with a pair of genuine GTR bov's

Don't mean to be ass but need to put in a breif blurb. The parts on these BOVs are not anodised so the valve (piston that looks very ordinary) will wear very quickly and eventually jam plus the spring has eight active coils whereas ours have 16, for a very good reason.

Yes these are priced nice and cheap (love to know where the hell they come from) but just wanted set the record strait - will not work exactly the same as a Turbosmart product.. Sorry...

A mate made them on a CNC lathe and mill. They are the last two left out of 16 and they all work perfectly. They are made from 6061 T6 high tensile aluminium and yes anodised ones will last longer but these will certainly outlast the engine.

The pistons are made from Brass and will not jam. The springs have less coils but have a heavier gauge wire so they do the same job.

All the ones in use at the moment work fine and have done for the last 8 months

The only reason I am selling is I want a pair that I can plumb back. And for the price they will not dissapoint.

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
