Hi there a mate of mine gave me a GFB stealth FX BOV as an early xmas pressie and i want to put on my car I own a R33 series 2 as I want the so called wankfactor sound hehe (personal preference I guess). They vent both to the atmo and plumback. I only have a 3 inch turbo back exhaust, are these good and stop those normal associated problems skylines have with BOV's. According to the GFB website this one is good. But I dont trust em I trust you guys and your opinions. thanks and sorry for the BOV question i wont ask another one this is it.

Better then a full venting BOV, however not as good as a full plumb back type. i.e factory valve.

Anytime air is measured by the airflow meter and doesn't go to the engine it will cause richness.

Potentially damaging the cat rather quickly and blocking the exhaust, as well as general running problems.

However it sounds like you have made up your mind already, might as well put it on and find out what problems arise.

i have the gfb hybrid and before i connected the plumback hose it was terrible and stalling, as soon as i connected it, it was perfect not one problem with idle and afm were pretty good

btw it will only cause richness if u dont have it tuned for the bov, so chances are most that have them have been tuned, therefore not doing damage

best bov i think...

Hey guys

When i install my BOV on my car every time i would put the cluch in after it went off the car would stall and their was much more black SH#t on the back of my car. Thus more cleaning, for my car when i put the standard one back on better everything came back.

What if I too have the GFB Stealth FX BOV but I have it at 100% plumback? Won't it be the same as standard? Recently had my power fc tuned so wouldn't that have been taken into account? Had the noise for a while but got bored of it, prefer the flutter type sound just wish I could get 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
