Eh, I was going to keep it, but I would never install it.. so, someone else may as well scare small children!

As the subject states, for sale is a Turbosmart Vee-port blow off valve. Looks pretty. Look, picture!

Comes with an adapter to fit onto VR4/evo pipework.. so, it should fit GTST pipes no worries.

They're 300 bucks new.. I'd be happy with 100 bucks. Or, if anyone plays guitar, I will trade for a decent quality volume pedal (Morley, Ernie Ball etc).

Y r u Selling it??

Does this fit on StraightAway?? I have a R33 GTS-T with the Stock BOV still Installed..

Will i need an Adaptor..??? What is this Plumback thing about...

Cheers..

P.S.( I'm in WA so i can Pick it Up)

I'm selling it as it is unfortunately incompatible with my piping kit. Basically, it hits my shifter cable.

It is not plumb-back. A plumb back BOV is one that vents back into the intake system. This particular blow off valve vents air direct to atmosphere, and makes a quite loud "psssh" noise. Great for scaring small dogs.

Anyway, as far as I'm aware, it will bolt straight on to a skyline, you guys basically have the same flange and even the same BOV as evos/VR4's. Someone will no doubt correct me if I am wrong. Just unbolt the stocky, put some sealant on the gasket, bolt it on. Connect vacuum hose. Additionally, you would have to block off the part where your stock BOV reconnects to your intake (not hard, just find a rubber bung or something like that, hose clamp it on nice and tight).

And finally.. and someone will probably have to talk you through this.. I think using an atmo BOV such as this one creates problems with skylines, as there are issues with unmetered air.

I am in SA, I have no problems posting it though. Will probably cost 15 bucks or so (it's sort of heavy).

Edit: Just did a search, the unmetered air thing is just if you don't plug the plumb-back hole up (obvious).

Also, the other problem is stalling due to weak springs in the BOV allowing it to open when it's not meant to. This thing is practically new, and the spring is adjustable, so if you have a stalling issue, just tighten the spring.

Hope this helps

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
