Well fellas,

as the topic suggests... I've driven a few of my mates's R32's and have recent been driven around in a mate's R34 and for some reason - even though my mods and his mods are very similiar, e.g. BOV, FMIC, Blitz/Apexi Pod - how come only the R33's have the nice and aggresive suction and flutter sound as opposed to the R32 and R34 where close to no sound comes from the Pod?

I don't understand, the engine set up e.g. is pretty much identical?

Cheers,

SM. :whistling:

dude my 32 has more induction sound then i can poke a stick at. its almost annoying. even light throttle so its only boosting like 1psi will have a slight sucking sound more then able to be heard in the cabin. nothing out the ordinary either, normal pod/cooler/exhaust mods.

maybe your mates 32's and 34's are non turbo. :)

seriously though... dont know where you would get that . All have the fulli sick suction sound if there turbos and got a open exposed pod. Some pods will be louder than others but still...

my mates 32 has similar mods as my 33 and his is louder.. go figure

at the end of the day, who cares.

That's strange... the R32 I drive had a pod, front mount, BOV etc... so does my car... my mates R34 has similiar mods... but for some reason, mine sound much more aggressive.... I don't know why...

the suction sound can be affected by the filter itself, some are louder than others.

the suction sound can also be affected to what boost level your running, more boost, more suction, more noise.

The "flutter" sound is compressor surge, and that is affected by the setting of the bov. If the bovs spring is set hard, then its not going to release the intake charge as much as a soft set spring, therefore you will have more "flutter" going back through the turbo and out the pod.

Even though you and you mates may have simular mods, ie pod, bov, fmic, the brands themselves and they way the are setup can affect the noise

I have loud as shit induction noise while I'm still at 10mmHg!

You don't even wanna hear it when it comes on boost! It sounds like a pure animal if you're driving alone beside it.

Mind you, 3" stainless pipe from motor to filter helps with this... Then I must also have a "noisy" pod...

yeah metal intake piping makes a huge difference to intake sounds. The stock rubber intake absorbs quite abit of the induction sound, put a nice alloy or stainless pipe in place of it and you'll notice a nice jump in db's haha

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • 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
