hey, the other nite at princes drags i heard this black supra with some sort of BOV that was off its nuts.

must've been some sort of slow slow slow slow release started loud and went pppsssshhhhtttt for ages, was mad...

wondering if any of ya know any good slow-releasing BOV's that are decent? coz i wanna get an HKS ssq but they're really common now and sorta sick of hearing the same thing...

This might be heresy but I really don't see the point in getting a new BOV that sounds louder, slow release, with trumpets etc.

They all do they same thing, they either work or they don't. They just make different wanker noises.

I don't think I'll ever get rid of this basic HKS bov as it's loud enough as it is... and $563!!!

Buy something worthwhile like an AFC or EBC.

Pic is off Nengun. How much is it worth btw?

I have a Blitz BOV ($749 from UAS IIRC)

VERY loud when your venting a whole 7psi boost! However causes bad stalling problems and what not, it's quite a pain in the ass. I adjusted mine to only vent on HIGH boost, and hooked up the stocker BOV too, no more stalling AND i get a decent sound.

So in summary: Very loud, but lots of stall probs.

Don't know if blitz make an adapter for the R33 as mine is on a custom pipe to the IC :D

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
