but they sit open at idle (sucking in air AFTER the afm) so you can't vent them directly to atmosphere (learnt that the hard way)... they suck air in at idle causing stalling and rough as guts idle.

mine had an adapter kit put on them from the previous owner in japan. they vent to atmo and cant suck in any air :cheers:

so you just wanted sound?

anyway,

shaqrx3 - factory bovs are probably the best setup you will get.

but if you must upgrade and want sound, the single greddy type R is fine. it is huge and it will flow more than you will ever make..

Let me know when you want to sell your stock ones.

yes they sit open at idle, which makes tunning a hell of alot easyer.

ask any one that tunes gtrs with AFM's. if you have bigger than stock turbos or BB turbos its hard to get the idle right with an aftermarked BOV.

i had that problem when i got the new turbos on mine, they couldnt get the idle right, because the BB turbos are still spinning damm quick after a bit of wide open throttle.

i also see it as helping the turbos as well, the plumb back system flows air after the intercooler back into the intake. so its breathing in cooler air :)

just my 2c anyway.

anyone know where i can get stockies? ive got blitz one and theyre huge...but then again the BOVs are placed where most cops wouldn't look

They pop up every now and then when rice.. err.. people replace the stockers with aftermarket ones. Just keep an eye on the forsale section.

But most people keep them i think as they know they are arite

True, but given the prices on NS (as low as $150 for a "hybrid" copy FMIC) I doubt there is going to be many used ones much lower on here :D

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
