Hi guys I am a fairly new owner of a r33 gtst. I think I may have a problem and I am sure someone on here can help me out .

The Problem

At high rpms when I let off the throttle I hear a shhhh sound. it doesnt happen when I accelerate slowly or drive without pushing the car hard.

I have done a bit of reading and it seems to be a compressor surge. can someone help me figure this out

Yes, all turbo Skylines (R32 -R34 series) come with a 'recirculation' valve from factory. ALL of them make a 'pshhhhh' noise when the throttle is backed off. It will be louder if there is a pod filter, or if the standard airbox is modified.

Is it a psshhhhhh noise or Zututututututu noise :whistling:

They do come with a bov stock, but for some reason people change them.

Take a photo of your engine bay.

I guessed auto cos you don't tend to hear the bov with an auto as you don't lift off the throttle on gear shifts.

Look into getting a shift kit to liven up the auto,and to make it live longer.

Model specific dual port. Should be O.K, I think you can make it so it only runs plumback (which is what you want)

If you have the stock air box and can hear it, chances are it might be venting to atmosphere, Spring rate might be a touch to high as well

Set it to full plumback (I'm sure you can have one, the other, or both on these) and see how it goes

That valve will do what you need if it is hooked up to recirculate properly. Should be some kind of adjustment on there.

unfortunately that will score you a defect notice though if the police know what they're looking at. If you want to replace it the stock GTST valve or GTR valves are good enough

Hahaha.

That's pretty funny, you heard a blow off valve sound, mentioned it had a blow off valve and then sure enough it was the blow off valve making the sound!

Welcome to the forum, read heaps! There is an endless supply of info to help you.

Put a stock bov on, a defect isn't worth it.

thanks for the input guys I will adjust the bov and see what happens. I personally don't like my car making any kinda noise that attracts unwanted attention from cops or anyone. Unfortunately the car came with the aftermarket bov. the only mods I have done is a Tanabe exhaust and hicas elimination bar and deep dish 18 inch wheels.

    • UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their reliability is proven, performance can be predictable, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!  
    • I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end
    • I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
    • Wasn't there a thread on this very subject just a few weeks ago?
    • Hi all! Looking to relocate the battery to the trunk of an R34 GTT. I want to do it using as many stock GTR components as I can (including the harness protectors from the 34 GTR that run underneath along the chassis to the engine bay). So far I’ve purchased the battery tray from a 33 GTR, as the captive weld nuts are already there just asking to be used. There is also the slight issue of now having to relocate the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU, which in GTT’s sits right above where the battery will then sit on the tray. Has anyone already achieved this, and if you have any pics that you wouldn’t mind sharing? It would be great to see how others have done it and where you put them, as there are countless holes in the parcel shelf panel to potentially use. Just trying to get some ideas bounced around, and to help uncover any potential problems I may encounter by  my choice of location. TIA for any help!
