Right.. well heres the thing.

As some of you know I got defected for my "Turbo Whistle" (BOV) and I went to Queensland Transport today to get it checked.

We took the Blitz off last night and replaced the intercooler pipe with another standard pipe.

Driving to work this morning it cut out at a set of lights. AND NO I didn't stall it I was engine braking and the revs just dropped and dropped. By the time I realised I couldn't rev it.

Then when I stopped at the next set of lights the revs flutuated (sp?) between 500rpm and 1000rpm like Up down up down up down until I revved it.

Question is. Is this from removing the BOV or is it something else. We had this problem when we first got the car but fixing the wire from the speedo to computer and the speed sensor working stopped it?

Is removing the BOV whats causing this?

This is the only reason I can think of because it's all we touched. But I can't understand by just removing the BOV and having the standard one on it would do this??

Please help.

Erin!!!

Make sure all your IC pipes are VERY secure!! i had this problem when i blew an intercooler pipe off!! if you have replaced a piece of piping, this is very likely to be the prob-ola!

Well we have just taken the aftermarket one off because of a defect. But before that we had both aftermarket and standard on there working fine. Car was running fine.

But this afternoon we will swap the pipe back over and see what happens.

In the next few weeks we will be getting a decent plumbback put on and removing both of the ones on there now.

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
