HKB boss kit (what is this part?) Hi! I Just recieved my new Personal Neo Grinta steering wheel today and a HKB Hicas sports III non airbag hub (ON-177) to my Skyline r33 gtst series1. I think I have figured out were everything goes except for one thing. Can someone here tell me what this part is and where it goes? im referring to the small silver ring to the right in the picture. The bigger one to the left I believe is a horn adapter? I have googled for hours but didn't find anything about this smaller ring. So If anyone here have a indentical Boss kit or can tell me what it is i'll be happy. Thanks.

(Update) We loosened everything up, starting with the easy stuff, servo, ac, and so. Noise was still there so we removed the timing belt. Then discovered that the tensioner pulley had residues of rubber on it from the belt probably? So the tensioner pulley was taken off and inspected for damage but seemed fine. Everything was removed and installed back together. So my guess is the belt was put on a little bit too tight. The tension was doubled checked. Anyway the car is much quieter now, but I can still hear a small belt noise on idle but it goes away when the car warms up and introduces another sound (when warm) when you rev the car and it drops off at 1000rpm. Overall I reckon the car is quieter now than before but not perfect. Guess i'll just have to drive it for a while and see if it goes away and if not, I may replace it with an Oem Nissan belt.

Hello! I just recently had my Timing belt done and all the accesories, tensioners/pulleys etc. The shop who did the job is very reputable and have done many jobs like this before. So when I got my car back I didn't notice anything, the car sounded fine. Drove it home, (3 hour journey) and just as im arriving when I do a pull from 1st gear in the parking space I hear a whinning noise from the engine? Was pretty tired so decided to look it up the next day. I read through some forum posts with people who experienced similar problems. That their belt would make squeaky noises, when warmed up mostly and around idle. In my case this is what i've discovered so far: Noise is there both when the engine is cold and warmed up and only seems to be apparent from 1000--1500rpm. Anyone have any ideas what this noise can be?!? More frustrating than anything! The timing belt kit installed is a Blueprint oem replacement.

Ok, Thanks! I noticed that small hole when I took it of but didn't know what it's purpose was.

Hello! Yes the plug gap is actually 0.7mm, they regap them from factory (also checked this). As for the BOV I think that might be the case actually. Sometimes I think I can hear it bleed off when still on throttle. I have Ordered a new Turbosmart Plumb back BOV. (BPV) to see if it will help. Btw i've heard that the original Nissan one does bleed off a little at throttle to recive a more linear powerband. Do you know if thats true?

Hi all! As topic reads I am an owner of a 95' Skyline R33 Gtst. Bought it 'bout a year ago, was and still is fairly stock. mods so far is: * 3' turboback exaust * Greddy profec b boost controller * apexi filter Also changed the coilpacks and plugs not too long ago. So anyway to my problem. Always since i bought the car it has had the famous flutter sound (off throttle) which bothered me some, and the old owner had the Ebc set at 1bar (14.5 psi) in high mode which I know is to much for the stock turbo to handle. Experienced what I Belive was R&R at a point when the Ebc was set to only 0.75bar. (11 psi) Been driving with the Ebc controller off for some time now, no more retarded timing. So with the controller switched off I get 0.64-0.67 bar. (9.5 psi) I decided to inspect the BOV to see if I could find the cause of the flutter, suspected it would be blocked, I was right. There was a metal plate in the shape of the gasket in between with some red goo around. Removed it and replaced with a new gasket and went for a drive, now the BOV opens and air gets released, though I could hear a high pitch whistle sound around 2500 rpm with 1/3 throttle applied. Boost still went to 0.64 bar. Now more recently though the car feels really slow when I go full throttle it's holding back, like I was towing somebody kind of that feel. It dosen't missfire or anything just dosen't have that punchy acceleration anymore, but when cruising on the motorway and I give it some gas in higher gears it pulls fairly good but boost only goes strong up to 0.44-0.46 bar. I can push it so it reaches 0.52 but thats not until 6000+rpm! Can it be a boost leak? or clutch maybye? Any advice would be much appreciated! Cheers!
