I just picked this up as advertised an an "r33 recirc valve" however Im thinking that this isnt what it is. I sort of suspected this when I bought it but it was just a fraction of the $50 that most people charge for one on this site. Can anyone tell me what it is? or if it is possible that I could use this on my 33 gtst?

I am pretty sure that it is a GTR type twin recirc valve and I am currently fitting one of the recirc valves to my skyline, I'm currently installing it and will see how it goes, looking like the only modification needed will be from the different pipe sizes which is an easy fix. Will see how it runs soon

OK so its a GTR bov? not bad for $10 then I guess:p The guy selling it didnt know much about it, he drove an audi and when I asked which model skyline he used to own he said he had never even owned a nissan so I dunno how he obtained it.

I have taken one of the recirc valves off and installed it on my skyline. Is the only difference between the gtst and gtr recirc valves the pipe sizes on the larger end? can anyone confirm this or are is there other changes as well?

Seems to run fine with the new recirc valve, now it makes a funny "pchieww" type noise instead of pshhhhttt at gear changes, the cars responsiveness also seems ever so slightly decreased though it is a very subtle difference which is expected I guess. The cars small backfiring issue and occasionally lumpy idle also appear to be solved.

just get a mirage 1.5 radiator hose and cut it and it will fit to gtr bov and gtst stock plumb back piping :cool:

i posted the part number sum where but cant seem to remember what part number it was

I just connected it by putting a piece of the smaller gtst bov type piping inside the larger gtr rubber piping, and then put a radiator clip thingie on it and joined it as normal. I don't think its leaking but I may test it further just to be sure.

Why is it dodgey? Its a more secure fit than the stock plumback connection, if any connection does fail on my installation work it wont be this part. Anyway I would rate my work as alot better than the very messy previous atmospheric blow off valve installation.

Well the GTST ones aren't too flash for high boost and they do have a little hole in them that leaks off air a bit. People weld this up and then supposibly its fine for high boost. No idea why it is there from factory, maybe some one else can explain that. Perhaps a safety for a boost spike so it bleeds it off? I believe the GTR ones don't have this hole hence why they hold higher boost fine.

      S1 headlights?

      By Duncan · Posted

      It might be worth having a good look at the chassis behind the bumper then; most people prefer the series 2 look so it might have been changed to cheaper parts as part of an earlier repair

      The car itself a series 2. I was just curious about the headlights and just wanted to confirm that they were series 1. Good to know the rest of the front end is series 1. It’ll be easier for me to find parts on the aftermarket side of things lol

      R34 engine swap Rb25de neo to s1 Rb25det

      If you've wired up the coils & injectors properly, & have the neo CAS loom for the trigger, it should all work. The VCT works the same way so just different plugs between s1 & neo. Assuming DBW if no IAC. Don't bother with the stock boost solenoid with g4x.

      THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.

      Factory oil temp sensor in a RS4V without gauges?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Light should be a pressure switch, not a sensor.
