hey guys and gurls

jst recently put a gfb bov on the r33 but didnt like it to much so took it off

but noticed that my stock boost guage was at -7 at idle now i put my stock bov on

and it sits a bit before-7 :s

cars still runing fine jst like it was before

turbo still excatly the same

could of it thrown out the boost gauge some how?

cheers guys

It'll be fine, just remember that you altered a part of the system that's supposed to stay pressurised.

The stock blow off valve is designed to leak a little bit when at idle, so I would suggest that changing from the GFB one (which wouldn't leak at idle) to the stock one would change your reading.

Cheers guys I was worried at first but the car is still

mechanicly sound , cheers guys I'll check the vac line tomorrow if I was to change my bov

would I need to get a tune or somthing coz I was looking to buy the greddy type s

Dont bother getting a tune if your only changing a BOV. If it is Recirculating back into the intake then nothing changes. If it is atmospheric then a tune wont really help unless you find an alternative to the factory Air Sensor (And even then you would only have to worry about the possible stalling issues caused by Atmo BOV's as covered in many, many a post before this)

Save the tune for big mods like injectors, turbos etc.

ahhh ok. im sure nissan would have designed a vacuum leak into the intake system to aid smooth idle lol.

Even if the BOV is designed to leak, it's a NOT going to affect idle as the "leak" is not escaping outside of the air measured by the AFM.

I don't see, how at idle, the stock BOV is going to be "leaking".

Air flows from point of highest pressure to lowest. When idling, the WHOLE intake up until the throttle body is at the same pressure...

The vacuum point is from the throttle body to motor side... Nothing to do with before it...

Maybe it leaks backwards :blink:

Except for the fact there's a vacuum line (from after the throttles) to the top of the bov which would suck it open unless the spring held it shut. the factory spring tension is soft enough to allow a small leak at idle.

Even if the bov were fully opened, pressure on the air filter side, and the IC pipe side is EQUAL, so there is no "leak".

    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32
