Wow this thread got confusing all of a sudden lol.

Quick little story, I remember getting asked at Autobarn back in the day if we sold the bov's that go into your exhaust for NA cars, I started pissing myself laughing and then realised the guy was being serious and it was a very awkward 10 seconds :)

Perhaps the RAA guy meant an atmospheric bov - ie venting 'exhaust' (which is actually just intake air) hence the pssshht - as opposed to a plumb back standard one?

Possibly, could you do this to the stock bov?

Still running stock intercooler? not sure where else an atmo bov would be unless hidden down in the guard plugged into stock cooler piping...?

Yea still got stock cooler for now

what mods did the car come with? is it close to stock or fairly done up?

my money is on an external wastegate, and the op bought the car without much knowledge

Yea the cars fairly stock, just got the usual turbo back exhaust, pod and coilpacks

i think we're all confused! hahaha

im totally out of ideas, its safe to say it could be anything at all.

stock bov cant go atmo easily, will stall and run like a bag and will be loud as f__k! tried it once for laughs.

look at all ur piping carefully, ive seen plenty of after market ones hidden in the inner guard :)

if u want to, go to a friendly workshop that know skylines and just take one of the guys for a quick spin. he'll tell u straight away what it is.

had a guy once who'd just bought a stagea and was tripping out/concernbed about a weird whistling/sucking noise, was just his hks pod! LOL

Can't we just assume that it is the 'exhaust bov' as stated in post #2 of this thread? It keeps the ball rolling, lol.

lol haha mate i dont mind taking the mickey out of myself but id never install anything that dumb!

Lol dw mate, all in good fun :)

So let's keep this going - bring on page 4!

haha ok well im assuming ill see a few laughs for this... as embarrasing as it is this was the only way i could show you guys a video, now on youtube.

Dont bother watching, just listen, quality is crap as is taken on my phone.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
