Give regency a ring.

I did some time ago and was told you are not allowed to touch anything that is concerned with the bov, being; the bov its self, the cross over pipe, the pipe that runs from the bov to the turbo inlet pipe AND the turbo to afm inlet pipe.

yeah, crankcase emissions.

More so how it plays with the afm and dumps fuel.

I blocked my bov off when testing if it leaked and found it would pop and fart & occasionally stalling.

Venting the air would play havoc with the air metered even more so.

I asked regency about aftermarket plumb backs.. I was told no, its part of emissions so I can't touch it.

This was some time ago.. Give Regency a buzz and see what their stand is on it these days.

Just block the std off and enjoy quicker turbo spool and almost zero lag between gear changes.

As mine spools so soon it caused a few driveability issues but nothing I couldn't work around.

um...a BOV (or recirc. valve) increases response in some cases, yes the air is released and that air does need to be replaced causing lag, but at the same time, the air not being vented without a BOV is forced back towards the turbo going the oposite way to the turbo causing the turbo to slow down quicky and to spool to the turbo up again takes time, creating lag.

    • That's f**ked up. I'd guess it's more likely that you have an entire S13 subframe in there. Does it still have HICAS mounting points? Seeing as it is quite possible that yours is the only such converted car in the world, you'll probably struggle to find someone who can tell you from direct experience. 'Twere I you, I'd be looking for 4 stud Skyline rear brakes and convert back. At a minimum. Preferably go find all the stuff you need to put it back to 5 stud (assuming you're happy to change wheels) and upgrade to some decent brakes. You don't even need much stock stuff. Don't need calipers or rotors, as you can go fully aftermarket. Just needs hubs and the other bits and bobs that are different to what you have now.
    • The engine has nothing to do with it. The physical space behind the headlight is the limiting factor. And the height. The height of the NS70 is the same as stock. So the clamp bar across the top goes on nice. The battery tray is big enough for it to sit on. The X is for extra capacity - it has even more lead in it than the non-X NS70. Heavy f**ker. But it's not a track car, so I will suffer a couple of extra kg. In the case of the R34, maybe the physical space there is not as deep (forward-backward, not up down). Hence why they say the 60 is the biggest. But I would never trust a catalogue to tell me what will fit. I have the car. I have the existing battery. I have the tape measure. I have the dimensions of all the available batteries. I find the biggest box that will go in. (With the right terminals in the right places, of course).  
    • Hello! I have been having a hard time finding the answer to this question… I have a R32 GTS-T Sedan than has been 4 lug swapped using S13 hubs, rotors, and brakes. The front has also been converted to S13 suspension.    When the swap was completed, the handbrake cables were never hooked up, as the S13 rear calipers are the “handbrake”, and not the typical drum on rotor that the R chassis are. Does anyone know handbrake cables that will work for this conversion? I’d like to not use a hydraulic handbrake and stick with the traditional cable style. My original thoughts were to go with S14 cables and try to make them work, since I’m pretty sure S13 cables will be too short.    Any help would be appreciated!
    • I did some research, considering you have a neo engine, how is that battery compatible? I checked centuries website and super cheap and says it's not compatible. Only this full size one is. https://www.centurybatteries.com.au/products/ns60-mf
    • No, lets be honest here. I went to Winton and did a track day, for all the mods and V8 power and craziness I posted up a time that a K24 stock motor Honda Accord can do on the same tyres (narrower, too) 250kw and learning how to drive the f**kin thing is the sweet spot.
