Hey, Mike. I have an HKS SSQV on my R33 as well. Adjusting the valve simply changes the point at which it activates, it doesn't change the sound.

I recently fitted a purple insert, which I got from Xspeed (have a look on their website). This reduces the frequency of the sound, so it is less piercing - net effect is it is less noticable. Dead easy to fit and dead easy to lose one of the grub screws!! (There are eight, but you only undo four to get the cover off!) You can also get a gold insert, but that doesn't change the sound - it just adds rice-value.

Meanwhile, if you are concerned about the effect of venting to atmo, then you can get a plumb-back insert instead, which converts your ssqv to plumb-back mode.

As for the low rpm stalling, the concensus seems to be that this is due to the Oxygen sensor being stuffed. The effect of your BOV venting to atmo might not help, but it is not the primary cause. I have never had any problem.

Hope this helps.

Cheers. :cheers:

yeh I SSQV, don't have anything in the centre so makes no sound at all... perfect.

Surely it still makes some sort of noise? All the insert does is act like a whistle and change the tone, I would have thought. So how quiet is it?

Cheers.

seriously guiet enough not to hear it in the cabin (over exhaust)..... It does make a really really quick whipping sound (lasting about about 1/10 of a second), but its that unnoticable that I would call it silent.

Don't forget you can get 2 inserts:

The Mercedes shaped ones (high pitchied noist)

Circular insert (psshhhhhhht)

nothing (as above)

:P

when i had one on i had no insert cause the high pitch thing pissed me off.

maybe i had it too loose or too tight cause it did make a fipp fipp fipp noise for about 1 second, which sounded pretty cool but it got mixed up with the sound that the pod makes at backing off throttle so it sounded gay unless i only just let off very slightly so the pod wouldnt go off.

    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
    • Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
