Hey ya'll,

I had an R33 NA for 6 months, then i just recently sold it and bought another R33, but its a GTST :(

So im kinda new to turbo and whats good and bad, i understand the principal, but anything beyond that, im still learning.

I have the stock plump back BOV and i am wanting to upgrade to something after maket. I have read the thread about ATMOS are GAY.

I would like to find out for myself, see if it really does get annoying. LOL

I was looking on ebay and say these. Im just wondering are they super shit, or decent?

- This one

- This one

- And this one

Give me your thoughts guys... I want something that makes a noise, but not soemhting that makes the car shudder like some have said...

LOL

The Apoxi blow off smart from brotec is the better of those I have seen and very well priced.

How much are brotec's?

Are all those ones on ebay cheap sh!t?

- Also blitz, was that a typo "apoxi"? or is that really the brand.

Cheers,

apoxi is the type of brotec he's talking about. it's similar to the apexi ones, but not a copy as such, it actually has some improvments over the genuine apexi stuff.

personally i've had some troubles with the brotec stuff over the years, but that's probably more installation related as their quality can't be faulted. I had heard they were now at sportamotive as prior to that they just operated out of the back of a truck (much like the snap-on tools guys do).

Anyway, i'd certainly give it a go. In fact i've got a pic of one here:

have you had a look in the for sale section? there are usually a few BOV's here and there...

I have a blitz supersound BOV.. it came on my 32gtst when it came over from JP.. it's used in conjunction with the stock BOV (and sounds good)... But I'm getting really over "phhhs" sound...

if you are being serious, then no, they aren't. Maximum noise generally points to a bad thing, meaning they are attention seaker BOV's which are designed just for that, maximum noise. You can hear the stocker pretty well if you have a POD and a FMIC.

If this is a pisstake, then all you need to do to make them one better is attach a duck caller to the trumpet of one of them or a soccer refferree's whistle and you'll be set.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
