HAS ANYONE OUT THERE WITH A R34 GTT HAD ANY ISSUES FITTING THE HKS SSQ IN THE SAME SPOT THE FACTORY BOV IS?

MY TUNER MENTIONED ITS NOT A SIMPLE BOLT ON, EVEN WITH THE ADAPTER FLANGE. APPARENTLY HE NEEDS TO CUT HERE AND WELD THERE, HE IS STRONLGY RECOMENDING AGAINST PUTTING IT IN.

HAS ANYONE HAD PROBS FITTING?

CHEERS

CHEERS

Ive got one fitted in my car, there's NO welding required, as it is a simply bolt on the factory pipe along with

the correct adapter plate attached.

MY TUNER MENTIONED HE WOULD PUT MY BOV ON FREE OF CHARGE AS LONG AS IT WAS SIMPLY A BOLT ON JOB AS I AM ALREADY PAYING 2,500.00 FOR A POWER FC, WALBRO PUMP + LABOUR.

HE RANG ME LAST NIGHT AND MENTIONED THAT IT WASNT GONNA BE AS SIMPLE AS BOLTING ON SINCE HE INSISTED WE PLUMB IT BACK. HE SAID THE BOV ITSELF HAD NO ROOM TO FIT AS A DIRECT REPLACEMENT FOR MY FACTORY BOV AND THE HKS PLUMB BACK EXTENSION WASNT LONG ENOUGH TO CONNECT WITH MY PIPE LEADING BACK TO THE ENGINE.

HE WAS PRETTY MUCH TELLING ME ITS WAS GOING TO NEED WELDING, FABRICATION, CUTTING, ETC. HE PRETTY MUCH TOLD ME TO FORGET ABOUT IT. I CANT FORGET ABOUT IT AS I HAVE JUST FORKED OUT ALMOST 400 BUCKS ON THIS BLOODY BOV AND I WANT IT ON MY FRIGGIN CAR.

IM NO MECHANIC BUT IS FITTING THE HKS BOV ON MY GTT SOMETHING I COULD DO MYSELF? I DID REPLACE MY FACTORY AIR FILTER WITH A POD FILTER MYSELF SO IF I WAS CAPABLE OF THAT SHOULD THE BOV BE SIMILAR IN FITTING?

THANKS BOYS.

as long as your engine bay is stockish then there should be no problem what so ever. There's the adaptor plate, the rubber o ring to go on the BOV and the little circlip that holds everything in place. 2 minute job putting it on. Pic of engine bay would help/.

ahh i think i see wat your trying to do mate. u want to plumb it back. DONT BOTHER. that is a bitch, and at the most all it would take is the plumb back adapter and maybe half a foot of 1'' rubber hose.

anyway. if u just block off the stock return pipe, and bolt on the ssq with the adapter. it will take about 15min. take out 2 bolts, take off stock bov. block return pipe. stick on bov with adapter and stick in the 2 bolts. thats it. i really dont see how its that difficult. i might suggest that your so called 'tuner' either doesnt know shit all. OR he has seen u coming a mile away. and would like to make a quick buck.

adapter shud look like this

hey thanks for the info guys. I think R33Cruiser is on the same page as my "tuner", the plumbing back side is whats causing the apparent massive headache.

Either way we've given the BOV install a miss this time round, but when i get the car back tonight, i will have a look and try and swap my stock BOV with the HKS BOV. I do have the adapter you are referring to with the BOV.

but with blocking the return pipe, whats a good way to do this? as I will attempt to swap BOV's myself tonight.

Hey how r ya, Its really eas to install, no cutting or welding is needed, ur tuner probably thought it was the universial one, wot u need is an adapter! its just a simple bolt on, And you also have to block your plumback with a metal thingy.. mine came with it.. Tough sound but car doesnt run right unless u tune it, ur car will run rich and will stall sometimes.. that is just my 2cents from wot ive learnt.

Geraus.

CK34GT get a pic of your engine bay near your throttle body, its a freakn 10min job and shouldnt hard at all.

even if u wanna plumb it back it is easy as piss, as long as you have the plumb back adapter.

if you dont have anything and jsut the BOV, then yes its gonna be a pain.

if ur unsure like i said post a pic ive done it before

SIF 10 min job.... dont tell him its 10 minutes, he starts to panic after 10 minutes....

i just install it yesterday.

YES i agree with you, theres a hose which is connected to your boost reading for the stock boost gauge in the car, u can just fit the ssqv in an angle around 30 degrees.

you do not need to fit it in horizontally, just give it a twist b4 installing it into the current position.

all you need is an adapter from ebay. works fine n quality is not bad.

Hi All,

Ok I got the car back last night. By the way the Power FC makes such a massive difference.

Anyways back on topic. I have taken a few snap shots of my engine bay as is and my new BOV accessories.

I have a pretty good idea what to do.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2

      Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
