Hi all, i got pulled over the other night because the cops heard my blow off valves and decided they wanted to ruin my night. Anyways they gave me a yellow sticker for the blow off valves and a few other shitty little things. I'm just wondering if anyone can help me with what i should do.

There HKS SSQ on my R32 GTR, does anyone no were the stock blow off valves would be if still fitted and how much is involved in taking off the HKS ones or if theres another way around it? Any advice would be great.

Depends how your SSQV's were attached, mine are in the same place as the original, exact same pipe aswell. Check to see where yours are. If its on by the same way, its easy removing, just unscrew and reattach originals.

Makes me reconsider my twin SSQV's... may take back to original.

Damn! Take it off, clear the yellow sitcker then put it back on if ya want... lol

BTW I would take the HKS SSQ BOV off, they sound shit and only VL turbos have'em for noise.

Yes the originals are just off the intercooler.

Also if ya not running high boost, stock BOV is fine.

i've passed quite a few cars by just plugging the vacuum line going to the bov so they dont go off and make the noise.

Not sure what the rules are where you are but in WA, bovs arent illegal to have on your car, just if they are too loud. By blocking the vacuum line, they can rev all they want, but its not going to make any noise. Just be prepared for them to be extremely picky, make sure there arent any oil leaks and make sure the car looks nice and clean, and mainly just know what your talking about so when they try to stick bullshit things onto the list you can defend yourself.

Goodluck, they are the biggest bunch of assholes on the earth :blink:

If you plug the vacuum line going to it wouldnt it still go off under load?

my thoughts too man..

i was like WTF!!!

the vac line is there for a reason

Im in W.A and the cop told me that if they vent noise to the atmosphere there illegal so he says. So u mean just disconnect and plug the ends of the vac lines, will the turbos still function properly like this?

no the vac line is there to open the bov, but on boost it does help keep it close but the spring does the majority of the work.

On 7psi, none of the bovs i've had have opened with no vac line, its been fine. Obviously if you were running 20psi through it i wouldnt expect it to hold it shut but at the sametime you would be stupid to have the car running "quick" with them driving it. Make it as slow as possible so they dont think your such a "hoon". I normally just run wastegate pressure (ie 7psi) and retard the shit out of the timing and it drives like a slug and they think its as boring as batshit.

cops dont know what they are talking about, half of them dont know what they are looking at under the bonnet let alone whats legal and whats not. All they have to do is spin some shit that the car is illegal (even if its not true) so they can stick a yellow on your car so you can get reemed at the pits.

The turbos will function fine

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.

      @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By MissMintyR33 · Posted

      Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.

      One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
