Have you tried calling Nissan?

From the Nissan parts page... looks like the J-pipe comes w/ the rubber coupler on the big side @ the throttle body. You can buy the turbocharger to j-pipe coupler from any coupler supply company... it's about the most common coupler there is. I'm using a thinner one on my T3/T4 hybrid.

Here's the Nissan list: http://nissan4u.com/parts/280zx/us_s...llustration_1/

They are removed when desiring to increase boost. The stock POV will open & flutter like a wild chipmunk if the boost rises above ~7.5psi. So you either have to cap it or get an adjustable one for $100+. If you build a reliable system, and use an electronic boost controller (not a crappy $5 ebay manual bc), you don't need the stock POV.
