well if you want to hear your bov, you need to vent it, but when venting your bov your car will backfire, but if you like that and dont want to risk getting fined by the cops leave it as is. as for your exhaust, put a full 3 inch catback with high flow cat and front pipes will remove that restrictiveness of your stnd exhaust. plus id suggest getting a lager FMIC and get some pods in a airbox with some cold air ducting. will make the car feel sweeter to drive

well the bov should vent when you lift your foot after you give it a decent amount of throttle when sitting on the spot. if it doesn't then it may be blocked. if you take the bov off you should be able to push the plunger up with your fingers with a little bit of force.

Andy, you ask a lot of the same questions.

I have some for you.

1.) when you are driving hard and you are boosting, what sound do you hear in between gear changes?

2.) you have HKS SSQV bov yes?

Like this one..

hks_super_bov3.jpg

See on the back where there is a brass fitting.. just below that, right in the middle of the bov, there is an adjustment screw.

If you adjust that ANTI CLOCKWISE (turning it to the left), it will LOOSEN the spring inside.

This will make it easier for the bov to open when you change gears or take your foot off the pedal. So you should be able to hear it more.

BUT, if you loosen it too much, the car might STALL as it is leaking too much air.

ALSO, you will NOT hear the noise by just revving your engine in neutral. Because it does not make boost in neutral.

Only when you are driving.

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
