DavidR34GTTNIZMO

In my car the VSS must have been disabled prior to purchase and most likely due to it being seized up. There was no sound from my motor in the boot when the switch is flipped and the valve definitely seized as I could not turn it by hand to open it up. I have it manually kept open now but I would like to hear from anyone who can tell me how to check if the relay has been removed or which fuse to locate for it as I reckon it still works but something has blown electrically as there looks like there is supposed to be a light on the switch itself which on my car is not lit weather its in silent or sport. 1998 R34 GTT. *edit: I can see by the thumbnail posted by jazza08 that the light comes on which doesnt in mine. I might check that the power hasn't been disconnected from the back of the switch. And no mine doesn't make a humming noise as I suspect mine is not getting power to the motor. I think if I find the light, I find the power!

Well I dont have an R33 BUT!.....I do have a R34 GTT Nizmo. With the nizmo exhaust that opens up and shuts like a varex muffler. So this afternoon I un-siezed the valve and kept it open as the switch doesnt work anymore and I cannot find a thread to help me with the motor or relay for this but anywho....The point I'm making is that after opening the valve I realised how restricted the exhaust was and the quite real difference I felt after opening up the exhaust. So if you are looking for more power, then free flowing and opening up the exhaust should be you're first point of call. As for the fuel economy....you bought a high performance vehicle dude Welcome to the cub.
