Here's the story

I want to get a blow off valve for my car (Stock r33gtsts1) and have seen a

few good ones on the forum,

but a friend of mine recently told me not get one

unless its plump back

she got a r33 s1 gtst as well, and when she had her bov

she had to keep her car revved up otherwise it would stall

i thought it was possibly to big, but she said it was just a standard

turbosmart bov

so here's the question, does it have to be plump back?

cheers

doesnt' have to be plumback although if ur only after cosmetics like sound etc etc then yeah atmospheric bovs sound better for performance wise i'd suggest stickin with a stock one

i have an aftermarket hks ssqv in ma gtt sounds sweet as and i think they are startin to make kits for the ssqv's now to make them plumback

It doesnt have to be plumb back but being plumb back will prevent possible stalling issues?

If you have a AFM orientated car, then you need a plumb back full stop.

Do I even need to explain it? AFM Measures the air, and then your stupid Vent to atmosphere BOV wastes that measured air when it is not supposed to.

Engine thinks air is going in, so it adds fue. Fuel gets there, and the only half the air does. (cause the other half went out the BOV) and the car stalls.

Put the factory one on and stop trying to be a show off.

Can't say i totally agree, as in i have a atmospheric bov along with a lot of people on this forum and my car does not stall. a lot of the turbosmart atmo bov's like mine (stage 2) have an adjustable spring rate by turning the head of the bov, by doing this you can achive the correct spring compression which will keep the bov closed during idle and hence not stall. I agree that the afm has measured a certain amount of air which is then changed by the bov when it vents and hence the afr's are out of wak a times during shifts but you can still run one on your car without dramas. I have had my stage 2 for about 6 months works fine. Also have one on an s15 and no problems either.

    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
    • Can also confirm these work a treat for most balljoints and bushes. If you have access to a big rattle gun, they make the job so much easier and quicker, compared to using a socket wrench or shifter on the c-clamp 👍
    • Its sort of street but got used for circuit sprints on account of I never drive it on the road because I dont have the time to spare. So it usage was sits around for months at a time then gets driven either 50 or 250 kms to the track followed by 20 laps followed by 50 or 250kms home followed by stuck in the shed until next time. So yeah neither fish nor fowl. Just dont want to break it on the track as a preference. Hence the fairly short sensor/mod list. Probably more worried about it pinging itself to destruction more so than anything oil related.
