hey all,

well i finally got my R32 gtst, although i want to make the exhaust legal by putting a high flow resonator on it.....its currently at 120db and want it under 90db. who makes some good decent priced high flow resonators that u guys know of?? prefrebally in the SE area of melb closer to Glen waverely the better.

Also the car has been broken into at one point and the locks are a bit buggered up, who sells and installs locks for the R32 also in the same area???

its also got a really loud fluttereing BOV, think its stock one not sure haven't had a good look yet, wots the process of making it a plumb back???

hope u guys and gals can help. ASAP!! cheers!!!

i've had a look and it is a stock plumb back, but because its got higher boost running and a POD i think thats the reason its fluttereing so much? wot u guys reckon? would the WOLF3D have anything to do with it??

would putting a stock airbox and lowering the boost decrease some of the noise??

I think Before you go about "modding" your car I think you need to decide what you want from it in the long run, Becuase doing things twice can become a real costly affair,

Now a fluttering blowoff? what you mean exactly is there a "chhh"

sortoff sound aswell as the fluttering or is there just only flutter

because if ther eis only a flutter the previous owner has blocked the plumb back to the airinlet forcing the air to be thrown back to atmo through the turbine this is generally not very good for the turbo.

yeah more a sound as when i back off it goes chhh chhh chhh chhh chhh ch ch ch pretty quick but with gaps inbetween, not the psst from a BOV, as i said in last post i think, i've had a look and its running the blumb back and the noise seems to be coming more from the POD area. not the blumb back thingy

Yep it sounds like the prev owner has blocked the plumb line on your intake plenum undo the BOV and see if they have put in a spacer plate to block it up. if not they blocked it up in the line that runs to the turbo inlet (assuming this is the STOCK BOV)

hope this makes sense to you

The BOV located on top of the INLET PLENUM is held in by 2 bolts undo them and it will lift right off.

Good luck.

well PRO_32, thanks heaps, u were right!! i pulled off the bov and there was a plate blockin the hole. ripped it off, sealed it with some silicon and bolted it back on, now all i get is one swoosh of air gushing out. i'm guessing thats how the plumb back should sound. Thou will this now stuff up the fuel maps on the WOLF EMS?

Mufflers Now in Oakleigh [1611 Dandenong Road, near FTG road] and talk to Matt. Phone is 9563-1166 Apparently these guys do a swirl flow resonator that keeps the flow and cuts the noise well. GO THE 4 DOOR!!!

thanks Autotrust, thou part of the nissansilvia.com group buy i got a good deal on a bigger muffler today. i had a straight thru one on and at same time i realised i had a stock cat on the 3" piping, so i got the bigger slightly more buffled muffler put on and gonna get a larger high flow cat on soon. so in long run will be less restrictive and still legal cos i'm just under 90db!!! And yeah go the 4 door!!

    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
    • Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.
    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
    • Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...
    • Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
