Hi guys.

I have a couple issues with my 33, mainly if im creeping forward in traffic and jab it for a sec, when returning to idle it drops very low and nearly stalls, has actually stalled a couple times.

Now when I got the car a month or so ago it had an Atmo BOV on it and I believe that is whats causing the issue here, inthat its dumping air that its already factored in to be fueled so it overfuels for a second, runs rich and nearly dies.

I must say, I do like the psssh sound but.

Anyway, im wondering if there are alternatives out there, or is it possible to adjust the BOV to not vent so easily, so its only blowing off under decent levels of presure? Or am Is my best bet to buy an aftermarket plumb back BOV and go without the Pssh.

Or as another option is there a way to trick the ECU to stop this occuring?

Advice is apreciated.

my plumb-back is just as loud, if not louder, than alot of Atmo BOV's i've heard... (assuming you have a Pod Filter as well)

it's a GReddy Type S.

the stock BOV is also quite loud, and works just as good... can pick them up for around $30 or less, so just pick one up, sell the atmo bov, and you'll have a car that's running better, will still sound tough, and you'll make money from selling the atmo one :(

Lachlan33- try tightening the spring tension, and possibly get some new plugs. i had a few mates with the same issue. new plugs solved it.

[mez]- i had the problem where it would die after giving it a bit on the stock bov. new plugs fixed that.

      R33 GTR lift points for hoist

      I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.

      Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.

      As well as being risky WRT tipping off anyway. Yeah, I wouldn't expect it to move. Just measure from the rear one to the front one on the good side, then measure that same length on the wrecked side. You will find the notches in the pinchweld, and the jacking pad. Just spray a spot of marker paint or something there.

      but any other area than the bulge you are talking about will just cave in then? The front driver side is pretty bent so I don't know if that will work the way it is now. I can still kinda make out where that bulge is/was but it looks like the position of it also changed due to all the mistreatment? Hard to tell

      Absolutely. Look very closely at the photo (of yours) that I took my second snip of. See how the sill is thicker material right behind the pinchweld, where the two notches are? That is the factory reinforced area for lifting. That pad is supposed to carry the weight. The factory jack (go look at it, and how it interfaces with the car at the pinchweld) shows you exactly how the load is carried from the car to the jack to the ground.
