Try taking the filter off and going for a quick drive or just revving it and see how it sounds then...

If it has changed and wasent always like that then something must be wrong... Very strange for it to change suddenly.

I used to use the UniFilter oiled foam version. Ran for about the past 6 months, make massive sucking noise...more than most.

Now I have replaced with stock airbox and hi-low filter...only can hear the spool of my turbo...

performance difference...none

Gheyness factor of the air noise...10

Now thats one less thing I can be defected for.

Um, the Kunjeng and Rasr, those were excellent posts trying to help him diagnose his problem.

I've had a hks pod before. It made massive induction noise.

For it to have suddenly stopped making that noise, there must be something wrong.

Now, I don't know how mecahnically minded you are. I have a friend who always thinks there is something wrong with his car.

Is the noise actually totally gone? or just softer? Did it just stop one day suddenly? or it's softer over time?

Bov blocked/seized or turbo blown. That's all I can think of.

If ther turbo was blown he would be making next to no power so thats deffinetly not the problem. If the blow off valve was seized there would still be induction noise but at a guess you would just get much more compressor surge flutter instead of bloww off valve noise/recirculation noise. Like i suggested try taking it for a short run with the filter removed to see if there is any difference. If there is then you know its directly related to your filter. If not then theres a change somewhere else in the system.

So there's no noise when you "release the (accelerator) pedal"?

No "pssccchhtttt" noise, when there use to be?

BOV jammed? Something to do with the BOV, or the recirculating pipe.... Pull it off, have a look.

      The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!

      Can I be your first customer? I would like hard lines done for the fuel system, 8AN up and 8AN back and the underside wire wheeled and coated (brush or sprayed) with that black tar shit.

      Speak for yourself, I love the R33 interior. 32 is blergh. I like the 34 interior too. Then you start getting much newer in most cars and they all turn back to blergh. 馃槢

      500-600hp into a RB is already 'sinking endless amounts of money' into an engine. Especially a 30 year old engine. Unfortunately this is the RB Game. Considering stock power (or at least stock components) will do ~360whp on 98 by simply turning up the boost on the stock gear on a RB26, that would be where I'd say the cutoff point for "sinking endless amounts of money into the engine" Cause to even do this reliably you'd probably need to replace all the bits anyway cause they're old, starting your sinking journey anyway. I reckon the least painful way is rebuilding the engine to make 50hp over stock lol. The 'plan your ownership around a rebuild' was a common saying 15 years ago.
