I have a GTST 96 model and have just put a saber intercooler kit on and replaced hot pipe and crossover pipe (top pipe) to inlet. I have also put on an apexi pod filter and the BOV on. The only other mod is the exhaust; from cat back, everything else is stock.

The problem i am having is the BOV fitted does not have a soft or hard setting therefore will not open properly, i have been advised to cut 15-30mm off the valve spring but am not sure if this will fix the problem or cause further dramas??

Can anyone HELP!

Maybe a replacement spring for this valve is available?

cheers guys

cutting it will make it stiffer, less coils makes a higher spring rate... yet perhaps its too long :S

i dont understand tho, the title says TIAL 50mm copy, which makes me think you mean a external WG, but your talking about a bov?

More info is required, and explain what is not working properly

Or you could put the factory one back on there, won't cost you a cent and will work fine.

I mean fair enough you've changed it (you should have used a GTR one)... but to change for a copy? Thats silly.

Cutting the spring might work, but totally depends if its now to short and won't seat properly, rendering the BOV totally useless with the chopped spring in there

Its a tial 50mm BOV copy (non genuine) it was actually given to me. Still factory turbo and wastegate.

Since the modifications mentioned in my original post the BOV will not open properly, we think maybe not enough boost for this size BOV. But we dont want to up the boost just yet as still standard turbo and dont want to damage anything.

Pretty sure even genuine Tial does not have soft hard setting, already had custom top pipe made to fit this BOV, so would have to have another top pipe made to change BOV if thats what your suggesting.

Really just curious if i can get a replacement valve spring with correct spring tension to make this BOV work.

Cheers for your feedback

Hi,

Unfortunately as i have changed the top pipe i will have to put stock one back on to put stock BOV on.

My boyfriend got this work done for me and I only found out today it was not a genuine tial... i tend to agree with you about the genuine stuff but apparently even genuine Tials dont have soft hard setting which i think is the poroblem, otherwise i would have bought one.

But yes that was my worry about them hacking my spring as i dont want to do any damage...

Do you know if i can get another spring that will fit that will have correct tension?

Cheers mate

no you don't.

You'll have to weld to get the TIAL one on there, so what's the difference to just welding to put a GTR one on there?

Will cost you around $50 IMO to have it welded + stock GTR BOV (~$70).

Problem solved, and the GTR BOV will hold 370rwkw in single form.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
