hey mates I've noticed when I rev my rb20 up with no load, it doesn't make the same ''chhhhhh'' noise as it did before. stock bov, blitz sus intake, high flow exhaust. maybe because it's alot warmer out now? I was thinking maybe the actuaor is getting worn? thinking about getting an hks adjustable one, anyone know about those? cheers

Why would the actuator be activated when there is no load?

If there's no load, there's no boost, actuator should stay shut the whole time even if you do rev it up

Maybe your BOV is on it's way out?

THat's where the Chhhh is generated

ya the act. stays shut the whole time, good point thats out of the question. bov prob is prob wearing out, they do this?

If you "MUST" rev your car and make bov noise bryan Spillner stylez, you can do it.

but because there is no load, you need to do it in a weird way.

if you just plant your foot and release it probably won't do it.

if you rev, then release and as it comes down, rev again and release, it will give you the Fast and furious effect you are obviously after.

NOTE: this will not magically generate nos pergers out the front bar up broad minded persons skirts..

haha mate ! thats brilliant! :laughing-smiley-014:

haha good one. It just sounds a little different in hot hot weather, not after any fast and furious mumbo jumbo, as people hear the slow wine of the rb20s turbo at around 2-3k. (blitz intake sus lm helps with turbo noise) sounds like sex! damn shes a loud one

    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
