The car is running a MAP sensor and runs 26-28psi and no BOV. I want to throw an atmo BOV on it but I honestly don't know if any leak boost more then others or are better then others.

I was thinking HKS Supersequential thingy as from memory I recall it uses boost to hold the thing closed...or perhaps a Trust Type R...but I honestly dont know if one is a better option then the other

Think he's talking about ones that leak on idle. this is what most do and if its not plumbed back can cause alot of the issues people have with atmospheric bov's

As far as i know all bov's use a vac line to the top to hold them closed under boost and then aids the spring when off throttle to open the valve and release the pressure.

As long as the bov will handle the pressure, any bov should do the job but why not just plumb it back and save yourself some trouble?

If its map based you wont have the problems that an afm system has. I just swapped over to a map based computer. My stock bov/recirculation valve is still atmo (will be plumbed back eventually to help gearshift lag) and there are no dramas at all. No more stalling, no more rich spots after gear changes and no more soot all over the back of my car.

Yeah i just assumed we were talking MAF setup lol

You can't run a HKS super squeeker as they are possibly the most gayest thing since Elton John!

Trust Type R are the goods, can't really go wrong :)

Hehe, I liked the sound of the HKS jobbie. Better then the sneezers out there :) Ran one for years :) Half the fun was so many people hated the sound of it. :whistling:

The thing with the Trust Type R ones is I have seen several on cars that have problems. Partly because like a gate they have diaphragms in them and they are sometimes worn and torn...but also they seem to have high spring pressure so dont open at low boost and seem to cause a bit of flutter

you aren't running low boost....and it's fluttering now so it's not like you aren't used to it.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
