I just received and installed a HKS SSQV Bov into my RB25DET the simple way, but after the installation I noticed on the instructions which came with it says to disconnect the battery (-) cable.. I didnt do this, does anyone know why it needs to be done prior to installation? or is it OK to leave it connected whilst installing?

Also, im getting a real bad boost drop when changing gears, almost as if its leaking.. Has anyone else got this problem with the new SSQV?

Cheers.

the reason they say 2 disconnect the battery is so that incase you touch sumthing u shouldnt and cause damage to the ecu or anything else

ah ok.. thanks 4 the quick reply raps86 :cheers:

does anyone know why im getting a bad boost drop when changing gears? almost as if the car is gonna stall..

Atmo valves can do this...

As the stock ecu is realying/expecting on return air post AFM...

By putting in a atmo valve your not returning the charged air back to the intake, hence the ecu is missing a huge chunck of "counted" air... So lack of air causes the engine to stall/labour for a second while the intake catchs back up to real time data being feed from the afm... Does this make sence?

The way to get round this is get a PFC or similar after market ecu which can be tuned with atmo valves and not have stalling issues...

hey evl. i have had my hks ssq on my line for about 1yr. many people claim stalling issues. but it has NEVER happened to me. i think it is an urban myth that affects 10% of the population.

perhaps, the spring is too loose. i suggest tightening the screw on top of the bov. also from my experience, make sure the vacuum hose is on properly, same goes for the plumb back hose. ive forgotten this once and stalled 100m from my driveway :cheers:

Makes sence what your saying, but I have a PFC installed with a Z32 AFM and its been tuned on an atmo GFB BOV previously.. I had no problems with the GFB, but I thought id give the SSQV a go..

I have the newest SSQV so there is NO pressure regulator on it and I cant tighten the valve spring..

When the valve opens to release the air into the atmo, it takes longer to close than the GFB i previously had, so when I accelarate again after changing gears the valve is still open for a second and the air doesnt get into the plenum causing a stall/labour..

On a positive note, the SSQV holds boost much better than the GFB i previously had..

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
