Wow this thread got confusing all of a sudden lol.

Quick little story, I remember getting asked at Autobarn back in the day if we sold the bov's that go into your exhaust for NA cars, I started pissing myself laughing and then realised the guy was being serious and it was a very awkward 10 seconds :)

Perhaps the RAA guy meant an atmospheric bov - ie venting 'exhaust' (which is actually just intake air) hence the pssshht - as opposed to a plumb back standard one?

Possibly, could you do this to the stock bov?

Still running stock intercooler? not sure where else an atmo bov would be unless hidden down in the guard plugged into stock cooler piping...?

Yea still got stock cooler for now

what mods did the car come with? is it close to stock or fairly done up?

my money is on an external wastegate, and the op bought the car without much knowledge

Yea the cars fairly stock, just got the usual turbo back exhaust, pod and coilpacks

i think we're all confused! hahaha

im totally out of ideas, its safe to say it could be anything at all.

stock bov cant go atmo easily, will stall and run like a bag and will be loud as f__k! tried it once for laughs.

look at all ur piping carefully, ive seen plenty of after market ones hidden in the inner guard :)

if u want to, go to a friendly workshop that know skylines and just take one of the guys for a quick spin. he'll tell u straight away what it is.

had a guy once who'd just bought a stagea and was tripping out/concernbed about a weird whistling/sucking noise, was just his hks pod! LOL

Can't we just assume that it is the 'exhaust bov' as stated in post #2 of this thread? It keeps the ball rolling, lol.

lol haha mate i dont mind taking the mickey out of myself but id never install anything that dumb!

Lol dw mate, all in good fun :)

So let's keep this going - bring on page 4!

haha ok well im assuming ill see a few laughs for this... as embarrasing as it is this was the only way i could show you guys a video, now on youtube.

Dont bother watching, just listen, quality is crap as is taken on my phone.

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
