bought a dodgy blow off valve ( first ebay experience ) when i fit it the car was having all sorts of idling problems major power surges and just plain no power at all... took it off after the mechanics told me it was the bov not working properly...

since putting the stock bov back on i'm still getting idling problems when starting the car up (when cold) and it takes a minute to be able to free rev the engine because it sort of coffs and sputtlers.... also when driving the bov is much louder and it sounds like theres a a/m bov on there, it's releasing between gears and when coming off boost...

my mechanic checked it out and told me it's probably a computer problem and to see an auto electrician but that still doesn't explain the bov being so noisy, does it???

please help i know very little but don't wanna pay any more money to not get it fixed.....

yeah it's connected properly weve tested it with that spray on leak findind stuff..

it's clamped an all but i personally think its leaking some were as well... but where???

cant follow the bov return pipe down far enough to see without pulling all the smic pipes out the mech's tested as far down as they could see but no good... could it be that the bov is releasing more down the return pipe now and as a result making more noise??

when driving it's only going bout 80% power but the turbo sounds like it's winding up much louder than before...

a big lesson has been learned bout buying cheap car parts....

was there a restrictor in the piping when you first took the stock bov off? i have heard of a few people that have found a restrictor plate plugging up part of the plumback pipe directly after the bov. if there was and that is no longer there then that is the extra noise problem.

auto electrician?

What a waste.

You had sparks plugs in there when you had the crap bov which caused overfueling and coughing and spluttering.

They are fouled.

Take them out, buy a new set of spark plugs (NGK BCPR6ES-8 (if they don’t have the -8’s you can also use the -11’s but will have to re-gap them)), put them in and it should be all good.

Cost you about $4 each plug.

well there was no computer problem, just a loose hose connection coming off the turbo...

i thought it was leaking and i was right and two different mechanics couldn't figure it out.. the auto electrician did...

thanks for the suggestions guys

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
