come on guys what do you think??

i know most ppl do not like the sound at all,

and because my standard one cant hold more then 15psi it is time to change to aftermarket. i was thinking hks ssqv but not sure,

what do u guys think,

the flutter or the ppssshhhh or a little squeek??

i am not into the ppsshhhhh or the loud ones anyway i want something that will sound diffrent and not give the 75 year old man walking down the street a heart attack. i want something that looks good and sounds good.

any one got any ideas??

I got the Blitz DD one i think and when u give it enuf it will give the loud PSSSCCCT noise but if u only give it half a boot it does the cool sshsshshhsshshshshs noise.... have the option of both is pretty cool

The 'flutter' is due to no BOV, and the air hitting the compressor wheel in the opposite direction that it is meant to turn (read: not good for turbo).

I'm not a fan loud BOV's; plumb-backs are cheaper and those who don't know anything about cars (all turbos go PSCHHHT, right?) will get a bit of a shock.

you'd actually have to be running some fair amounts of boost for it to be damaging the turbo. Most turbo cars will flutter when a pod filter is put on due to air getting back out the pod - its normal! All my turbo cars have done it... if you want flutter get a pod and an adjustable bov, tighten it right up and voila!

yeah i understand that the air is going back thru the turbo if there is no bov.

and i have a pod and i doget that sound now with the standard bov.

but now because i am getting an aftermarket one and i know there are diffrent sounding bovs.

the type 3 supersonic on a real tight spring will flutter, not the same as if there is no bov but it will go pshhpsshpsshppshpshp.

I have a GFB Stealth FX which can be switched from atmo venting to plumback with the turn of a dial. great bov, highly recomend it!

I've also got the Stealth FX. It's awesome!! You can get heaps of different sounds out of it by adjusting the spring tension.

It's also good if you want no bov noise, just twist the top and it's a plumback (sounds awesome on plumback too!).

I wouldn't even consider getting any other bov...

I've got the Stealth FX too. Can be handy if you have standard computer and have bad over fueling due to stock ecu sending air that is vented through your aftermarket bov. FX helps this by allowing air to be vented back into the system and to the atmo as well. adjust your ratios and no worries...

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
