Hey, i recall reading that certain skyline engines have issues with atmo bov's. I'm currently in the market for a bov but don't wanna shell out money for something that's gonna cause issues with my engine.

Any suggestions on what bov to get for the RB20det? Is there an option on some bov's to switch them to plumback if the atmo venting is causing problems?

Thanks

EDIT: Also, does a plumback blow off valve make an audible noise while driving? If it doesn't, then i guess i may aswell stick to the stock one for now?

The only issue (noticeable issue that is) my RB20det has with the atmo bov is that if you try to hold the revs around 4000rpm it flips out and jerks around a lot, like it gets air then doesnt, then gets air, then doesnt etc.

It is a Sard R2D2 and I have no stalling/idling issues.

P.S. It will be for sale as soon as I get the standard bov back on :(

Approximately how much will it be for sale for?

People have issues mainly dependant on driving style.

I know some people that have issues, and some that dont. But they drive differently to each other.

So take the chance if you feel the need.

Just to note: there is no performance gain by removing the stock one, just to clear that one for you

1. Keep the stock BOV.

2. Yes some aftermarket BOV have both atmo and plumb back outlets.

3. PLumb back BOV (including the stock one) make a noise when driving, especially if a pod filter is fitted too.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • 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
