hey fellas,

does anybody kno how to set the ssqv hard n soft settings?

cos there was heaps of hissin noise under d bonnet n thought it was set too soft ppl say vacuum leak or sumthing, so thought i'd give it a go.

now its gettin really confusing and i can't even get it to sound like it did be4. i turn the screw clockwise go for a drive thinking its harder setting, then go back turn it the other way, and i can't tell the difference!!!!

now its just a flutter then the whistle then the normal pssht sound.

can someone tell me roughly which way and how much to turn to get it so it doesn't leak under vacuum and have dat long loud whitle metallic sound back?

thanks lot man.

I used to have a HKS SSQV on my r33 GTS-T. As far as im concerned that blow off valve when i had it never made a Psssht noise. The HKS makes the higher squeel and then flutters. I loved that sound then had to get it replaced to a stock BOV. "They" told me my car was over modified and i couldnt have it. The engine stalled when i pulled up to lights and went off. IM still trying to make a HKS BOV work on my car without it goin off.

    • yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)
    • Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions
    • Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣
    • Is the toolbox that damaged the boot seal the same item that fell on the car during the storm a while back?
    • Who are you to deny yourself? I’ve said this many times to myself and apart from getting what I really want, I go quiet for a while whilst working out what I just did to my savings and how will I afford what it cost, then, next payday…
