hey guys, well i was given a turbosmart type III B.O.V. a while back off a mate who has taken it off his car, and he said to try it on my car to see if it worked good. anyway i didnt have the adapter for it , so i just never fitted it, but on the weekend my other mate gave me one off his old skyline that he had made up, so i fitted it up and took it for a spin, everything seems ok, except for 1 thing, on the stock indash boost gauge, where its says +7 / -7. The needle seems to be sitting just above the -7 on idle, now from what i can remember before i changed it, when it was on idle with the stock B.O.V, it sat right on the -7 at idle, why would this change???? any help on this matter, and what does it mean???

yeah, might have a little leak somewhere. il have a look when i get a chance. if it does have a vacuum leak, does this mean it will be running less boost then im guessing.

there is a difference between vaccume leak and boost leak =)

try tighten the spring on the BOV a bit more to make sure that it is not leaking.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
