Think I gotta have a look at the Stag tonight.

I'm aware the BOV outlet is plumbed back into the inlet system after the AFM, but somewhere along this path I've got a leak. I can hear it, although all the piping/rubbers are in place.

Might get the GF tonite to rev it and get it boosting so I can find the leak.

4 Qs tho:

Anyone had this problem before?

Obviously its not harming the engine?

Is there a better method for checking the leak?

How do I get the GF to clean my car while she's at it? :D

dont bother with your car running cause you may find a leak if your lucky but you may not.

grab a frezzer bag from the pantry, undo the hose clamp where your intake goes onto your AFM.

remove the afm and put the bag over the end of it and then reinstall as normal.

now remove the vacum line to your FPR or similar and stick compressed air in there. this will pressurise the whole intake system and alow you to pin point any leaks from the intake manifold right up to the afm.

leave the bag double thickness will hold about 1.5 bar.

evryone should do this now and then as you will find even the smallest of leaks.

cheers

you havent just whacked on a POD by any chance have you?

you may have a leak in your cooler pipes, usually around the hose clamp join bits...?

Yeah, recently fitted a HKS pod. So I must have a loose clamp weaker thant he BOV spring rate when i shut off the throttle?

It actually sounds like the BOV exiting the atmosphere even so faintly.

I got distracted fitting 18" mags tonite. I'll check the clamps first thing before work tomorrow.

Could be your BOV, happened to me once. It got stuck slightly open...

Coincidental that I hear it now that I fitted a pod filter!

Actually, first time I've ran a pod filter on a turboed car, so I wouldn't know.

In that case, are you sure your not just hearing the turbo spool up?

Under what conditions can you hear the noise? If it's under acceleration i would say that is the case, the turbos just spooling like it should.

Yeah those HKS pods are loud. My car sounds like it has a BOV but it's just got the stock bypass with an HKS pod.

The Mrs got pulled over a while back because the copper "heard the BOV go off". He had a look under the bonnet and conceeded that all was ok.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
