Hey, i'm looking to upgrade my intercooler and just wondering if a big front mount intercooler will make my car flutter? i dont want my car to as it attracts too much attention..

i'm also only wanting about 200rwkw so i thought i'd just put the r34 SMIC in, will that make it flutter, or since its only a SMIC it wont?

some people are even saying intercoolers have nothing to do with flutter? but i know a few people without any bov's and their cars flutter..

Cheers

IMO I don't think SMIC and FMIC have anything to do with 'Flutter'.

Maybe something to do with the setup of their metal piping to make that noise.

But most of the time 'flutter' will come from a BOV or air pods...

So boosting it with my apexi pod filter will get flutter???

How can ib oost and not get flutter T.T

I have 2 HKS air pods (running the standard GTR BOV, which won't make much noise), they make a "Sucking" noise when the turbos are spooling and a "Choo" noise after releasing the throttle.

No matter what, your APexi air pod will flutter on stock or running higher boost.

To eliminate the 'Flutter', box up your air pod, get a custom air box made up or you can buy one to shield your pod off.

Many ppl on here do it, BUT it will not eliminate it completely as you still have the pod on, but it might just lessen the 'Flutter' sound.

To eliminate it completely, reinstall the standard air box.

      I think you're missing the point here Duncan, I was trying to say that if you want to go fast around and have a spare $80K to $100K, easiest option is to just buy another car instead of modding your Skyline. Sure blowing $80k to $100K would make it fast, but then you'll have a car that you can't drive on the street comfortably. But use that $80k, buy a fast factory car, spend like $7K on AliExpress pipes, email tune, tyres, pads and you can be fast, not to mention now you have two cars.

      At SMSP, I mainly see Hondas, M cars, A90 Supras and of course, plenty of Evos. Have not seen a single R32 ro R34 Skyline on the night sessions that I've been to. That's really saying something.

      I like mine. Much better than stock. Like i said before the reverse/parking cameras look even worse than normal, still useable. When you buy one make sure it's the latest version. Heaps of cheap ones that run the old hardware and software. Got mine from AliExpress. Mine is quick no lag, boots up 1-2 sec. Menu is fast. Netflix is fine and so is YouTube. Android Auto is random taking 3sec to 15sec. Most of the time it's quick. Very rare it doesn't connect. But that could be a phone thing.   Now I think they use a Pixel 3XL to run this whole thing which i guess is fine, but the problem is that some apps will not work on old hardware like Disney Plus  Maybe Prime Video too 🤔. they will not update. Iv'e tried getting the APK Disney + but i still couldn't get it working. I have a Data sim installed so i have internet all the time. You can't Hotspot off your phone and connect Android Auto at the same time. Not that you need too, if you want you can hotspot off your phone and run any internet map app (google maps) and you can run the Spotify app on it's own (the app runs better than android auto) You can still access the INFINITI intouch system for all the o.g stuff    P.S i got new non Polarization Sunglasses too 😎
