Fully sick Skylines run rampant where I live - the most fully sick I've seen was a gold '33 with 20-inch vault chromies. But I'm over lol-ing at them nowadays :P

They give us a bad rep, please dont put my ignorance in the same boat as them! haha

Nah you're all good - at least you didn't know what it was / was for and asked.

And will now take it off.

I'm at the point of thinking non plumb back REAL bov's are fully sic... they were cool 10 years ago when I was 18 and didn't know any better... :P

im confused.... u bought a turbo car with one of those turbo whistles in the exhaust?

rn't they just made for non turbo ricers?

lol not sure man but its not on my exhaust, it just sounds like a normal bov but the noise is come from the engine bay, i have a feeling it may be around the dump pipe.... Will have to have a close look on the weekend.

But its not one of those things on the link that was posted at the start of this thread, thats for sure!

you sure its not an external wastegate or watever it is?

and if you have a pod, it will make a similar noise to a blow off valve on decel

Ok so I think we all had this confused - it's a real bov then?

It will be attached to the intake piping somewhere after the turbo, not exhaust.

Haha sorry for confusing you guys, i deffinately still have the stock bov!

when purchasing the car i got an raa check and the raa mechanic said it has an exhaust bov fitted, and my mechanic also said it has a exhaust bov but never actually asked him where its located.

The noise deffinately comes from the engine bay on deceleration though just as a bov would just not sure where it is, might record the sound and pic of engine bay/video to show you guys.

Im as puzzled as you guys are but i looked in my rear muffler and theres deffinately nothing around there!

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?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      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).

      EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
