Just sell the HKS SSQ as atmo bov's always cause problems. If you want sound use the money and buy a pod and put your stock BOV on and dont forget to heat shield the pod. No more stalling and you still keep the sound. its a win-win situation.

atmo bovs cause problems if you dont install them on right.

I have had 3 different atmo bov and have not had a problem with one of them (hks,apexi,blitz)

Michael i think u have a very tolerant R33 which makes you a very lucky man. Many R33 have super sensitive air flow metres. The majority of the skylines dont have atmo bovs i have noticed. I wouldnt mind having a hks ssqv but its 100% atmo but unless ur running a aftermarket ecu or piggyback computer it would cause probs if its not stalling then u'll be running rich az and stuff your cat converter,black smoke out of exhaust and back firing. is it really worth all that i dont think so.

any car that runs a AFM (Skylines!) cannot run Atmospheric wankerized, look at me, whoosh whoosh, fully sick, where are the chicks, Blowoff valves.

The Engine reads air.. Inserts fuel. The Atmospheric blow off valve dumps the air before it gets the the engine.

Put the stock one back on, or get a plumb back BOV.

The other option is to get a Powerfc DJetro with a MAP sensor and then put your spinny twirly whoosh chicks hurricane atmospheric BOV back on, and you'll be fine.

So yeah..

driving style also affects if it stalls or not.

I didnt have a bov for a while... i got used to hitting the accel & clutch at certain times so it didnt stall.

So you might have adjusted your driving style to minimise the problem

is it still stalling? check if there's any wind draft coming out where air is supposed to be released - the fin part. My friend's one was leaking before so we had to open it up and align the black face, the circle one. then just tighten the screws that hold it, after that it was perfect.

It amazes me the amount of people that think they can "fix" a car from stalling with an AFM and atmospheric BOV...

The only way to fix it is to plum it back..

There are a lot of people here that don't have a clue eh?

Yep the mafia explained it nicely. I agree. Hey the mafia you have a awesome Pod set up I remember. If you have pics put them up.

i aslo agree with mafia, if u wanna make w@nk noises buy a wrx fully sic bro

in all seriousness if u want to make ur car run properly u need a plum back (turbosmart make a awesome black stealth 1)

I think this works with most cases....

take off the HKS SSQ, repackage it, and sell it to some WRX owner LOL

then...

go buy a Plump Back BOV of your liking or use the stock one..

too simple !

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
