Im after a wastegate for my R33 skyline. Ive heard that not all of them make a noise when changing gears. I want the one that makes the noise kinda like a blow off valve flutter but with a higher pitch.

Does anyone know what brands of wastegates make these noises?

And also wondering, if you install a wastegate is there any need for the external blow off valve anymore?

Do a quick search on this site about the difference between a wastegate and a BOV and it will all become clear. Most of the noises you hear when people change gear are either:

1/ Differences in BOV's (i.e. different types make different noises)

OR

2/ Reversion through the turbo and air filter of the compressed air on gear changes when the BOV doesn't open or open enough.

Good luck and remember, everyone had to start somewhere. One of the longest standing members of this forum once asked whether you still needed a FMIC if you had programmable management. :(

Yes i realised that internal ones dont cause thats what my dad has got on his XR6T and Mr Fanny no google search is going to tell you that the wastegate flutters as most of the sites just bring up the basics of turbocharging and related peices of information about wat does the wastegate do. I forgot to mention I love the fluttering sound.

the flutter sound in talking about is the one of an external wastegate not a turbo that has an internal wastegate. ANd the blow off valve doesnt make a flutter noise it makes a whoosh sound.

Jeezus Christ! I tried to be nice in my post but this is getting silly.

OK so you know how they work and what they do. Go RE-LEARN it.

remove your stock blow off valve.. it is on the pipe that goes across the engine.

the engine is in the fron tof the car under metal thing called a bonnet.

onec you remove it, block the holes where it was, where it plumbed back to and the little vacuum hose on top.

start the car - use the key that came with it.

go for a drive.. accelarate hard (using the pedal on the far right) then change gears..

you will hear the noise you want.

I hope this has been informative.

don't tell guys that tell you to search for stuff, that you know the difference, because it is damn obvious in your posts that you STILL don't.

the only time you hear a wastegate making noise is once you hit full boost. and only if it is an external wastegate which is venting externally. they can also be plumbed back in tothe exhaust.

and the sound you hear from them is not a fluttering or during gear changes.

it is an extremely loud screaming noise..

you know.. the noise a turbo makes at 100,000rpm with no muffler.. just a 30 cm long metal pipe.

      3D printing fun

      No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️

      Thanks for sharing this, and BTW if your headlights are in good condition they are worth thousands....you might want to consider replacing them with brand new LED ones like this (https://www.nengun.com/78works/full-led-headlights-r32-skyline) and making enough profit to buy a house in Sydney

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By Duncan · Posted

      I'm not sure what sort of shops are nearby, but I'd expect any reasonable exhaust shop could put a cat in it that will not restrict the power that engine makes. Otherwise, if you want to remove it, short lengths that replace the cat are readily available online, search for "de-cat pipes" or "test pipes"

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.
