Hell no! someone must have some fight left in em, i want drama! The ruse, the stake holders, the slapping and then the back peddling's, tis a tale of passion and ignorance, "to the forest Willow! to the forest!"

Your views are interesting to me and I would like to subscribe to your weekly newsletter.

hmmmmmmm... just thinking y u would think a piece of machinery that has been moving up and down billions of times could never break down, loose its seal...

i dunno... engines seem to go up and down millions of times and not break down that often, unless you cane the fark out of them.

other than the excess noise creation, the other downside to having an Atmo is that you have to overcompensate your idle so as not to stall (hence the retunes and idle adjustments being suggested).

At the end of the day, the factory BOV is just a gas valve... most are built to last years of repeated use. If you want one to hold the pressure more don't bash your BOV in, just put get one with a stiffer spring rate (some turbo diesel ones for example) or a reducer in the recirculation tube.

(Spunky Munky) are you running a pod filter? because you said you were after 'suction noise' and as far as i know BOV's don't make suction noise.

Hey Tai, yeah that's the weird thing... I do have a nice Apexi Power Intake POD Filter sucking via a AFM. But for some reason, with an atmospheric BOV it has the nice suction sound and the sshhttt 'blow off' sound - whereas with a stock plumbback - nothing, just a very soft blowing sound and that's about it... Why is this??

Any suggestion?

just get a metal enclosure for the pod........I have apexi pod as well, and its sealed in a metal enclosure I made. I thought it would quiet the nosiy bastard down but noise wise, it was probably slightly louder. On the bright side, should run cooler air temperature.

as for the phssst, I got plenty of that...........even the pidgeon flutter sound.....all on my mad hektic stock bov.

Genuine HKS SS BOV $400

HKS copy BOV $150

Having stock BOV and still manage to sound as sick as the cnut next you....................PRICELESS

Hey mate, help me out... how the heck did you manage this???

I want the nice ssshhttt sound.... man, seriously.... with the stockie, there's no longer a nice Sshhttt let off sound....

Damn it....

I think the point everyone's trying to get thru to you is that the noise you make due to the air being recirculated into your intake by a factory valve, has more to do with a pod and intake pipe material/surrounds than with the actual recirc valve itself.

Hey fellas, I am going to install a Greddy Emanage onto my car next month and get a full tune - was wondering if a tune would make a HKS Atmo BOV work with stall? I really like the sound and responsiveness of the HKS BOV - but was wondering if it would still stall?

Cheers.

Too easy, your on the mailing list ;) Its sent out on the Thursday of every week.

This week we tackle issues such as

- FPR: Is there any benefit to aftermarket units in environments with wildly fluctuating engine loads

- Achievements / Ego: Have you just make 350rwkw and now suffer a dramatic drop of forum etiquette and common human decency when contributing? We discuss here

- Running Man: Is running from the cops a good idea in a Skyline? See readers accounts

- Scrunch or Fold: We benchmark the most common toilet paper brands and put them through a rigorous ring cleaning regime to give you the facts you need

- 007: We review the unethical act of making bogus SAU accounts and posting replies to your own comments

- pH: Pub brawler Regee, lets us in on some tips for removing vomit induced acid burns off car duco

Fellas, I have decided to go for this BOV... I had a similiar one and it worked fine as I'll go 50/50 - never lagged before.

Was wondering, if I have an universal adaptor for a R33 (the one that looks a bit like the link below)

Would the following BOV bolt straight on or will I need anything else?

Can someone please confirm the above?

Thanks.

wtf is a Mars BOV? Do you really want something regulating pressure in your car that seems to be made of recycled coke cans in a third world country run by a military dictatorship?

stick to a known brand and lay off the ebay garbage. we don't want you starting a thread a few months down the track goin "omfg, my BOV imploded and chunks of it went into my intake/turbo/intercooler/engine".

Hey fellas,

I'm new to this forum and have owned two S1 Stageas but no Skyline..funny that.

I have encountered the same issues with an Apexi twin chamber atmospheric BOV and Sard R2D2.

I did some intensive research and did the trial and error thing, that nearly got me committed to Graylands.

All that is said above is true and the way I found a good reliable fix is to buy a SAFC-II or neo and up the deceleration air setting to +1. This could also work with a fully tuned aftermarket computer or even a HKS EIDs. Depends how far you want to go with tuning and what you are willing to spend. It also occurred on my GTiR, but used the HKS Eids fix..much cheaper.

Everyone wants a series 2 manual and Perth is a ripoff, Queensland is getting better with S2s & M35s but what about the lesser fortunate people on a budget with S1 auto's!

This is a great fix for Stageas and I am assuming on R33's that don't want to go plumback-I stand by it, gotta luv the signature noise!!

By the way found an M35 six speed manual the other day at auction..interesting as well as pricey

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
