Hey, Mike. I have an HKS SSQV on my R33 as well. Adjusting the valve simply changes the point at which it activates, it doesn't change the sound.

I recently fitted a purple insert, which I got from Xspeed (have a look on their website). This reduces the frequency of the sound, so it is less piercing - net effect is it is less noticable. Dead easy to fit and dead easy to lose one of the grub screws!! (There are eight, but you only undo four to get the cover off!) You can also get a gold insert, but that doesn't change the sound - it just adds rice-value.

Meanwhile, if you are concerned about the effect of venting to atmo, then you can get a plumb-back insert instead, which converts your ssqv to plumb-back mode.

As for the low rpm stalling, the concensus seems to be that this is due to the Oxygen sensor being stuffed. The effect of your BOV venting to atmo might not help, but it is not the primary cause. I have never had any problem.

Hope this helps.

Cheers. :cheers:

yeh I SSQV, don't have anything in the centre so makes no sound at all... perfect.

Surely it still makes some sort of noise? All the insert does is act like a whistle and change the tone, I would have thought. So how quiet is it?

Cheers.

seriously guiet enough not to hear it in the cabin (over exhaust)..... It does make a really really quick whipping sound (lasting about about 1/10 of a second), but its that unnoticable that I would call it silent.

Don't forget you can get 2 inserts:

The Mercedes shaped ones (high pitchied noist)

Circular insert (psshhhhhhht)

nothing (as above)

:P

when i had one on i had no insert cause the high pitch thing pissed me off.

maybe i had it too loose or too tight cause it did make a fipp fipp fipp noise for about 1 second, which sounded pretty cool but it got mixed up with the sound that the pod makes at backing off throttle so it sounded gay unless i only just let off very slightly so the pod wouldnt go off.

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
