its there mate

it just doesn't vent during gear changes as the throttle body doesn't close.

if your car is auto, try accelerating with the gearstick in gear 1 and watch the boost rise. then just release the accelerator and listen...

its still effective in preventing backflow through the turbo (compressor surge) as this can happen regardless of transmission style.

Waz.

wouldnt it sounds real real poxy if u got an aftermarket one which vents into the atmosphere for the whole pppppsssshhhhh sound. i thought u would have to accelerate and then realease ur foot for the whole GEAR CHANGE EFFECT SOUND?

am i right or wrong?

Yeh sorry guys i was talking bout an aftermarket Blow Off Valve cause i wasnt that "whoosh" sound... so it still goes allright then?

Also all, i hear this sound on silvia s15's and some gts-t's, its a spooling noise with a fluttering at the conclusion of this spooling, i have heard its got something to do with the pluming or something, that the gas is bouncing in the pipes, hence the butterfly/fluttering noise, so my question is...how do i do this? what is it? and is it bad for the car? as in turbo,engine whatever...

thanks once again.

Fluttering = bad longterm

All that is is the compressed air flowing back on to the blades of the turbo, at high RPM these blades are moving really fast...

It wont destroy a turbo.... yes it does sound cool, but over time this will weaken the turbo. If you want to make this noise..... get a aftermarket BOV (adjustable) and tighten it right up so the spring hardly moves (open's) and then you will hear the sound. You might have to run higher than stock boost tho....

nickg,

The standard BOV can have the psssht noise if you put a screw in the small air bleed on the underside of the factory BOV. If you have a pod filter the noise will be reasonably loud and the best thing is the cops can't ping you for it.

    • That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)

    • I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
    • The consult isn't even OBD1. It's a Nissan Consult. Proprietary.   Re read everything I've said. I specifically say, put down the laptop/tablet. Understand, and review the issue first. Logging voltages is the same as logging the converted value. Things like O2 that you say to log, is unusable for this, whether it be the voltage, or the value the ECU thinks.   The fact you don't know how to diagnose without looking at the computer, is exactly what I've said multiple times is the issue for why techs these days can't diagnose the fun issues with cars.
    • Breather for it. If it's anything like the GTRs it should run up to the top of a bellhousing bolt.
