nope. why would it?

all it does is recirculate excessive built up pressure when you close the throttle body to prevent compressor surge.

there is no perfomance gains to be had from having a given type of blow off valve or recirculation valve.

the aftermarket ones are usually ass and either make the car run like ass or make silly noises.

OK cool i just thought the aftermarket ones release more pressure then the normal ones becasue they can be bigger which means they clear out more of the pressure built up

no the standard ones are fine, please do not change them, aftermarket bov's are pointless and no gain

i suggest doing some reading of the upgrade threads to avoid wasting $ on pointless changes / upgrades etc

^ No. Aftermarket ones seal on idle - which is BAD.

stock gtr ones are fully open at idle... wich is why they need to be plumbed back if using air flow meters.

i tryed two wanker hks ssq's, absolutly shit compared to stock. massive delay and nowhere near as much flow.

in a perfect world the bocv would have such a light spring that its just enough to seat the valve and hold no more than 3 or 4 pound. dont forget its the boost pressure acting on the opposite side of the valve that seals it not the spring tension.

so in reality a proper poppet style bov with a rubberised seat (stock gtr) can never leak boost. ever. so long as the bov has got the same boost acting on its diaphram as it got in the pipe it sits in.

Here's a handy one for a track car: If you run MAP-sensored load metering, you can get rid of the recirc' setup on OE GT-R and have them vent to atmosphere, and K&N happen to make some of those little 'breather filters' that have exactly the same ID circumference as the OD of the factory GT-R bov outlet ports :D (you'll need the filters so you don't suck crap into the engine while running in manifold vacuum)

Pro tip. Fully hektic PSSSCHTTTTTT!!!! noise, if you like that kinda thing...

im 99% sure if u run pods u can here the stock BOV alot louder. but hey.... i dont no cause i got stock BOV and a stock Airbox. i cant hear anything, every now and than when driving next to a concrete wall on the freeway or somthing other than that, my engine bay looks factory, and my car is quite as...... till i cut her loose that is... than Kaki regu starts making some noise. haha

having them leak @ idle/low RPM eliminates compressor surge when using larger turbos.

same as the factory piping. It was all designed that way for a reason.

Doesn't comp surge occur when the turbo is making positive pressure in which case the stock bov will be closed anyway?

For what its worth i had a greddy recirculating valve which was shut on idle on my 25 and had no probs with idle,stalling when stopping etc etc.

There's a sorta 'baffle' thing in the stock airbox that you can remove that will make the stock BOV much louder if you remove it - if you like that sort of thing.

R31Nismoid is correct. Most stock blowoff valves have a small bypass hole about 5mm in diameter to stop the low throttle surge, I have blocked mine thinking it would be ok but there is the odd flutter when on boost at low revs and throttle opening.

Stock GTR BOV can handle above 300kW's.

Aftermarket BOV's have no gain.

Only reason to change if you are running a ridiculously high amount of boost and the stock BOV cannot handle it any more.

Comp surge can occur anywhere on a compressor's map.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?

      Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
