Ok so I'm about to replace the standard BOVs with an aftermarket blitz item on the weekend.

Just wanted to know if i need to get anything else before I take the front bar off and have a crack. Swapping them over is pretty straight forward but I wanted to know whether anything special is required to replace 2 BOVs with 1.

BTW I know the factory GTR BOVs are good enough as they are. This is my car and is a personal choice that I'm making so if you dont have anyting productive to add are just going to flame me for putting on an aftermarket item then dont bother.

Thanks

Pls find attached a pic of the Blitz item

The Blitz item you have seems to have the correct flange on it so its a matter of unbolting the old ones and putting the blitz ones on...and then blocking off the plumback pipes...

PS: i'm not against aftermarket BOVs at all but to me the blitz ones and the apexi ones are probably the worst sounding bovs of the lot...

sweet thanks for your help man.... i sorta like the blitz item... heard one on a 32GTR the other day and i liked it :D

will let you know how I go over the weekend

i have the exact same unit on mine, u should also check that the pistons can be moved if u ease off the top adjustment nut.. mine was clogged with oil/crap and jammed so im currently cleaning the whole unit

u can block off the return pipe with whateva, but i have found turbosmart does making blanking caps in the correct diameter, probably best way to go, $16 odd bucks

ps. what u doing with ur stock as i might be interested in returning mine back to stock

cheers man.... any idea which mm the diameter is? i think it might me 19mm.... do u know if supercheap or any of the other auto stores stock the plug??

yavuz tuned mine as well, didnt have any issues with idling before the tune however have read others have.. the blanking plug is around 30mm i think, will measure mine when i put the bovs back on tonight

thanks mate

I guess, thats what I was asking

Seems like I will take it off and plug the pipes up

my bad, i assumed u had both bovs, i guess you can tee piece the hoses to the bov and cut a plate to bolt into the empty space or get an adapter for the single bov so it plugs straight into the rubber pipe

I'm also going to do this with my greddy type s but I'm going to plumb it back to fix the idling issues. Making a block off plate for the second bov and the g reddy type s has 2 vacume nipples so I can put them both on for the extra vacume :ermm:

    • Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...
    • Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
    • I would like more noise related info for my truly uneducated guess  Does it do it at idle or when revving, clutch engaged, and disengaged? Does it only do it when the car is moving? I've heard "similar" noises from a clutch pack that left the chat room, and CV joints that have chewed themselves out But as Matt said, how's the yokes, tailshaft and centre bearing going after their last little issue Fingers crossed it is something simple  Weird noises make me cringe 
    • One other question, is there a chance that changing the idle speed can lead you down a rabbit hole and is the reason the tuner didn't touch it? Reason I ask is because if that's the reason the tuner avoided it then I probably shouldn't be touching it lol.
    • Pfft. As if I'd ever point a high pressure washer at my car.
