Has anyone got an atmo blow off valve on their auto skyline? Many people roll eyes at the thought on an auto as atmo BOV goes off when manually changing gears as you step off the gas pedal... should this be with auto too? Gas it, step off the pedal, out comes the "vrooom choo" sound. I know many auto VLs have BOV that sound pretty good.

Sorry about the wanky topic but I just want some info from people who did have it done.

Cheers. :thumbsup:

I'm a wanker so I think I'm well placed to aswer this one :thumbsup:

The blowoff doesn't work when the gears change in an A/T, just when you step off the gas. It doesn't work because you're not required to step off the gas during gearchanges (duh!)...

So the only way for it to work is to drive 'attention whore' style and: speed up > step off > f*ckin whoosh! > every girl within earshot turns around and lifts their skirt in your direction.

I love it when 'tards in turbo cars time their gearchanges or step off the throttle as they go past alfresco cafes and the like... it makes having a blowoff valve one of the key things that makes you a MAN... well. that and a pair of testicles :)

mate...

an atuomatic turbo car differs from the manual in that it has an automatic transmission

THE ENGINE IS THE SAME

so, yes, they have a bov and it makes the same sound under the same condition that a manual does..

as rezz said, this is not during gear changes as you don't take your foot off the accelerator when changing gears, but whatever makes the manual car release the bov is the same in the auto

i hate the misconception that automatic skylines have all these differences just because they have an automatic box hooked up instead of a manual...

i want one of thse skirt raising BOV for my auto :P

Yeah so do I! And to think all this time I've been missing out on all those ladies! I've noticed the whole BOV whoosh as cars pass alfresco cafes as well, I can't think of any such cafe in Perth that I've been to where I haven't heard them. It all adds to the atmosphere of an authentic outdoor dining experience. :(

lol werd.

guy who started the topic, ive got a blitz type s one on mine ( came with the car ) makes the whole "psssccchh" deal when backing off the accelerator... like waz said... same engines, only time it wont make the noise is gear changes... obviously. the turbo etc works the same otherwise.

I have a G-Reddy Type-S on my auto R33 and paired with the HKS pod and FMIC its an aural feast when driving.. :(

I get the pssscht sound when I let of the throttle quickly and I get the sexy flutter sound when I let it off slow (real good at making people look). Along with this I have a FMIC which further amplifies the BOV noises (especially the flutter).

Yes it is very very wank but I love the noise. Just be smart and don't let it off when police are nearby.

Also atmo bovs may give you stalling dramas.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
