Hey guys, i recieved my hks ssqv bov today, put it on, and its causing a shitload of chatter.

I dont get it, its a full atmospheric valve, why is it doing this?

I cant open the valve manually all the time, it will go from being able to be pushed open by fingers, to being "stuck" and feels like its hitting something????

Any help????

pull it apart and have a look? pretty sure the SSQV are fairly simple, most BOV's are. Just make sure you remember where everything goes and oil it before re-assembling. It shouldnt be hitting anything if you just got it unless something has come dislodged inside

the screw on the back of it, loosen the lock nut and then adjust that, mine was way tight and pretty much surged all the time, also your length of intercooler piping and may make a difference and i also found that where my wastegate actuator line was coming from made a difference EG standard spot, big surge so i drilled and tapped into the boost pipe right after the turbo and it surged less

Is the fact im only running 9 psi going to make a difference??

The little pink pin slightly opens, but the rest of seal barely moves, the stock bov is louder than this one

they are meant to work in two stages but 9psi should be enough to open it fully, is the signal line going to it coming from your manifold (after the throttle body)

its in the exact same location as where the stock bov was, same vacuum line aswell. if i rev it and push the valve with my finger, its very loud, what i was expecting it to do normally. I took it apart today, moved the spring around and i am able to push it in now. But its as if the second stage is just way to weak to open properly.

it wont be loud if your just free revving it as no load on motor = not much boost when free rev.

take it for a spin, even take a spanner and adjust it on the road, until you are happy with it, it was said before and im sure you know now you have rebuild it they are pretty simple so no much can go wrong, im pretty sure that if the adjusting screw is out then it causes more surge and if its screwd in then you will have less of a surge but dont take my word for it it has been a long time since i have adjusted mine, good luck

that style (the newer one) is not adjustable and works of pressures, if you have lubed up the seat and the valve moves freely now take it for a drive and see what you think, if not then im sorry i was thinking you had the other type.

sorry again and good luck

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
