hey fellas,

does anybody kno how to set the ssqv hard n soft settings?

cos there was heaps of hissin noise under d bonnet n thought it was set too soft ppl say vacuum leak or sumthing, so thought i'd give it a go.

now its gettin really confusing and i can't even get it to sound like it did be4. i turn the screw clockwise go for a drive thinking its harder setting, then go back turn it the other way, and i can't tell the difference!!!!

now its just a flutter then the whistle then the normal pssht sound.

can someone tell me roughly which way and how much to turn to get it so it doesn't leak under vacuum and have dat long loud whitle metallic sound back?

thanks lot man.

I used to have a HKS SSQV on my r33 GTS-T. As far as im concerned that blow off valve when i had it never made a Psssht noise. The HKS makes the higher squeel and then flutters. I loved that sound then had to get it replaced to a stock BOV. "They" told me my car was over modified and i couldnt have it. The engine stalled when i pulled up to lights and went off. IM still trying to make a HKS BOV work on my car without it goin off.

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
