Hey guys,

i think it must have been a thread that got lost with the down time... but someone wanted me to let them know how it went when i got my BOV put on...

I response to that... SWEEET.... i have it tuned so it flutters down low and makes the big WAAAACHHHSHSHSHHHHH up high....

havn't had any problems with stalling or backfiring or anything so it's all good...

Also, how much would you usually pay to have a BOV like this installed on a R32 GTS-t? I reckon i could have done it myself but the ppl who i got the car off said i have to have it done there to keep warranty... damn b4st4rds charged me $200 for it too... bit pricy i reckon... what about you guys?....

Yeah, that's what i originally though, but because you cant face the trumpet up... they had to extend the plumback tubin (cutting the metal pipeline) so that the tubing could be bent the right way to go onto the bov...

About 1/2 an hours work i reckon... damn B4ST4RDS, they know i wanna keep my warranty... so they charged a stupid price...

Yep, mines blue too... :)

yeah, i got the adapter for $50 as well... got the BOV for $250.... all straight from GFB...

To mount it, youll have to point the adapter towards the drivers side and face the trumpet forward... that's the easiest way so that the hoses will bend efficiently....

I thought it'd be better to cut a circle in the bonnet and place fine mesh over it (on the underneath so it looks good from outside)... then face the trumpet up.... maybee that can be a future mod for me... :D

adapter... with the size of the BOV, won't you have truble fittin it under the bonnet with that adapetr?... Looks like it's designed so the BOV will stand up on it???

Do you hav a mount set up for it or something?....

To tune it, the guy at GFB told me to adjust the nut lookie thing on the top (i think he called it the actuanator or sumfin...) about 1/2 a turn at a time and see how it goes... he said it's ok to flutter under about 3500RPM and about 3-4PSI...

instantly went into "R32 mode" in my head... lol

Yeah, wouldn't have a clue about any others so the mechanic would be right....

If ya have any troubles with adjustment, just ring the guys at GFB... they're really good... they'll tell ya exactly what to do... I wrote down what the guy told me but can't find the bit of paper... lol...

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.

      So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about

      This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but..

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
