Stock GTR bov's leak?

Yes

@ Idle they open and this helps avoid the comp surge.

same as the stock rubber piping etc etc.

Nissan made the RB26 setup perfectly in that respect. You have issues only when you go hard pipe kits, take off the stock BOV setup etc etc.

I have -5s, HKS hard pipe kit + Drag Cooler, standard exhaust and inlet manifolds, 20psi, NO BOV, NO SHUFFLE.

Many people have recently had this problem, its related to the turbo intakes, BOVs, and a few other things I cant remember.

Id be looking at your inlet. Its the only thing different.

What R31 Nismoid and femno said :banana:

I have the same setup and no shuffle either.

As nice as it looks, I'd scrap it and go the standard bov's too.

dam i couldnt bring myself to scrap it, i didnt ask my mechanic to build it like that, but thats what he did, i dont want to through more money away too, might just get that BOV done, then live with the noise, just would like to here those ol' -5's spool up, rather then 'thomas the tank engine' on crack

cheers robbie

i get the same issues with my setup to the cchh chh chhh

i have std rebuilt turbos w steel wheel on ss manifolds, full hard pipe kit and no bov and pfc with afm just shy of 300kw but i recon its the manifolds not being tuned lengths or the hard piping not being the same length from turbos to intercooler. what i was going to do is run a 2 into 1 intercooler and make the pipe lengths the same from the turbos to the intercooler?

what do you guys recon? and im not giving up the the hard piping kit lol

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By nouveau_poor · Posted

      I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.

      It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      By ShezzDogs · Posted

      Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
