I just recently got a '93 r32 gts4 skyline and I got this part with the car (uninstalled).

I was just wondering how to install it back on and if possible, if I can replace the BOV to a newer one or something?

Can anyone tell me where to install this and tell me some newer style bov's that will be compatible with the setup.

(At the moment i think it's a plumb back)

Thanks peeps.

i wouldn't bother for 2 reasons.....

1) cop magnet.

2) no performance value what so ever.

nothing wrong with keeping the factory one on and you pretty much get the bov noise when you put a pod filter on but i would recommend a pod box and cold air induction if you go that way.

Throw that out mate.

Its an unknown brand / make, its installed before the intercooler, and those return lines are clearly a 30 second job in the backyard.

No wonder its not installed, the number of issues running that piece of f**ked up experiment...God only knows.

Ideal setup: BOV installed on the crossover pipe, as close to the throttle body as possible,

pulmbed back intothe induction pipe, as close to the turbo as possible.

Okay, so stick to the stock bov yes?

And btw, can anyone post a pic showing me where the stock bov is on an rb20det and some good suggestions of aftermarket bov to buy with the single 'pshh' sound which will be compatible with the rb20det engine. :thumbsup:

im kinda new with skyline engines

Stock BOV is at the very top of the image in the middle. Can't miss it. Kind've looks like a duck wearing a trilby. Okay, maybe not, but it is bolted to a section of the crossover pipe (easy enough to remember as it is the intake pipe that crosses-over the engine).

If your car had a BOV fitted to a section of intercooler piping the stock crossover pipe may have been replaced with a new section of pipe that doesnt have the fitting for the stock BOV or in place of the stock BOV they may have simply blocked it off with a piece of metal.

Luckily both the crossover pipe and standard BOV should be easy to find and cheap to buy.

If you insist on an aftermarket BOV, get one that has an rb20det adaptor so it will bolt straight on. Look in the classifieds section as there used to always be ppl selling as-new BOVs for cheap prices as many people get sick of them after a week or two and dump them for peanuts. Also, you can ask them if it makes a PSH noise like you desire or more of a wapachang which it appears you are not.

LOL!

I just found out that the car was making stupid flutter sounds when i installed the pod filter... The reason was the stock BOV was 'blocked' off ;)

Now since i have the FMIC, Pod Filter, Turbo timer, Boost gauge already. Maybe I should buy a turbotech boost controller($30) and a turboback exhaust?

Unblock the BOV...that flutter sound is the turbo spinning up and slowly down repeatedly very quickly. Eventually you'll loose boost and find your turbo blades in your intercooler.

Fix that first - other mods later.

Yeah, i removed what was blocking the BOV, now its maing a nice single 'pshh' sound. Better?

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By Duncan · Posted

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By S1_C34 · Posted

      I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.

      CD009 RB Conversion

      Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.

      Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
