the gtr twins are located after the front mount but before the plenum.

im not sure how they are attached to the fmic piping. they are near the water bottle washer. i dont think it would be a direct swap and would need an adapter plate to mate it up. what problem did u have with the stock one?

if that fails, you should have a look at the GFB Hybrid bov. it's able to be fully plumbed back, and has quite a bit of spring adjustment. Contact Brett Turner at Go Fast Bits. He'll sort you out.

A stock gtr bov will bolt on...i've got one on my car...only thing is u need a larger diameter plumback hose as the gtr one is considerably larger...

any idea what diameter? an what sort of length hose am I in need of? any pics of your set-up (how you've changed the hose)?

glad to hear it'll just bolt on.

everyone keeps saying turbo surge......the flutter is only when changing gear...ie not on boost...ie when the BOV opens an due to not strong enough spring in there its bouncing.....fastly open/closing.....fluttering.....so how can this be a turbo problem?

well yes, it bolts straight up, used the top radiator hose from Telstar TX5 (cut a small straight section from it) to plumback to standard pipe (as the GTR outlet is a bigger diameter). using the old pipe I cut about a 3cm lenght of it off an put it in the other end of the telstar rad pipe as a reducer onto the stock plumback steel pipe.

but I still have the flutter :), an now if my timing of getting my foot off the accelerator when clutch goes in isnt perfect, I get a touch of VL turbo full sik dose pipe noise. strange...I thought the GTR bov would be better than the standard item...its pretty much the same.

luckily it only cost me $40 or id be pretty un-impressed, but now I guess i do get to add "GTR BOV" to the modifcation list of my car....lol

they have stiffer springs, the outlet pipe is bigger diameter an so is the diameter of the BOV inlet hole (part that bolts to pipe)

an if you sit them side by side...they dont look the same (RB20/25 BOV's made by Mitsubishi, GTR BOV's Made by nissan)

weird man.

I never once had an issue with my single GTR BOV.

It let off perfectly every single time... But then, Race Pace was where it was fitted... highly likely that was some sneaky change/mod to it :)

      @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣

      I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia.

      Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.

      I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).

      As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
