I've got a R34 GTT almost completely stock and i need to replace the BOV (wont go into why). The thing is i've heard a lot of stories about installing aftermarket BOV's like the HKS and that and they give problems. I've heard of the car always stalling, the engine going, worse fuel economy and the list goes on.

How often do these problems occur with BOVs and when do they occur?

And does anyone know of the aproximate price for getting one professinonally installed to avoid these sorts of problems? (NSW)

Thanks heaps.

it has the stock ECU, only thing changed is the exhaust. I've already bought a HKS SSQV bov so thats the reason why i wont be putting another on it. to avoid getting off topic, my real question is

if i do put the HKS SSQV with a stock ECU and i don't leave it as an atmosphecric so ill plumb it back, what are the chances of problems still occuring and how do i prevent them?

thanks for that, can i get some more opinions on this please, as i dont want my car stalling. also what would i do to prevent the "woosh" sound as i dont want attention from the cops? would the sound still come on a HKS SSQV if it was plumbed back?

as everyone has said, you are better off getting a stock replacement bov or a gtr one as they are proven to work. You could probably pick up a second hand gtt bov for like $30-40

      R32 Skyline Handbrake Question

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That's f**ked up. I'd guess it's more likely that you have an entire S13 subframe in there. Does it still have HICAS mounting points? Seeing as it is quite possible that yours is the only such converted car in the world, you'll probably struggle to find someone who can tell you from direct experience. 'Twere I you, I'd be looking for 4 stud Skyline rear brakes and convert back. At a minimum. Preferably go find all the stuff you need to put it back to 5 stud (assuming you're happy to change wheels) and upgrade to some decent brakes. You don't even need much stock stuff. Don't need calipers or rotors, as you can go fully aftermarket. Just needs hubs and the other bits and bobs that are different to what you have now.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The engine has nothing to do with it. The physical space behind the headlight is the limiting factor. And the height. The height of the NS70 is the same as stock. So the clamp bar across the top goes on nice. The battery tray is big enough for it to sit on. The X is for extra capacity - it has even more lead in it than the non-X NS70. Heavy f**ker. But it's not a track car, so I will suffer a couple of extra kg. In the case of the R34, maybe the physical space there is not as deep (forward-backward, not up down). Hence why they say the 60 is the biggest. But I would never trust a catalogue to tell me what will fit. I have the car. I have the existing battery. I have the tape measure. I have the dimensions of all the available batteries. I find the biggest box that will go in. (With the right terminals in the right places, of course).

      R32 Skyline Handbrake Question

      By elinde · Posted

      Hello! I have been having a hard time finding the answer to this question… I have a R32 GTS-T Sedan than has been 4 lug swapped using S13 hubs, rotors, and brakes. The front has also been converted to S13 suspension.    When the swap was completed, the handbrake cables were never hooked up, as the S13 rear calipers are the “handbrake”, and not the typical drum on rotor that the R chassis are. Does anyone know handbrake cables that will work for this conversion? I’d like to not use a hydraulic handbrake and stick with the traditional cable style. My original thoughts were to go with S14 cables and try to make them work, since I’m pretty sure S13 cables will be too short.    Any help would be appreciated!

      I did some research, considering you have a neo engine, how is that battery compatible? I checked centuries website and super cheap and says it's not compatible. Only this full size one is. https://www.centurybatteries.com.au/products/ns60-mf

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      No, lets be honest here. I went to Winton and did a track day, for all the mods and V8 power and craziness I posted up a time that a K24 stock motor Honda Accord can do on the same tyres (narrower, too) 250kw and learning how to drive the f**kin thing is the sweet spot.
