lol ^^^^^^^^^^^ agreed BV = spike = turbo go bang

R33 dont seem to like them at all. I have seen them cause all sorts of trouble first hand, the most common problem i have seen is idoling problems and random spiking

mine isnt one of those shiny GFB ones or the turbo smart ones, it just looks pretty boring and if you didnt know what it is for you'd easily mistake it for just a normal part of the engine bay.

can't remember what brand it is at all??

Yeah i have herd that they are good the turbo smart ones are junk i cant even remember how many i returned for warranty or because it was bad ( cant return something cause it doesnt suit your car or dont want it any more)

yeah quite possibly that could also be apart of the problem of those who dont install correctly

mine spikes to 19psi then holds 18psi

had it tuned on the dyno and it was consistently doing the same thing. so it was able to be tuned to suit using the Nistune.

i have the stonger actuators and -5's

i was going to go for the EBC but the bleed valve works fine.

i used a very long time ago a turbo tech bleed valve and it held 12psi flat no probs....didnt once did i see it spike even while tuning on the dyno....but then i do understand what your saying....they can cause boost spike which in turn could cause the turbo to "go bang"

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
