Variable silencing system I think it stands for.

It's a system to restrict the amount of air through the exhaust to quieten the car for silent mode. Might want to check if the valve is actually stuck or not as due to being in the exhaust they tend to get stuck in one position a lot.

Since my exhaust is still looked as something stock (I'm not sure about this actually), I'm going to test it soon (I've done it before but I didn't realize somethin' different).. By the way, is it a standard feature for this type of skyline? Thanks! :)

I think you're right, NJR 34GTT.. So it should give a significant change to the sound?? :( One member of skylineowners.com in UK also said that it is common for this optional system to be got stuck.. I will investigate this as soon as possible.. :)

m-p,

I have a 98 R34 GT-T semi-auto too & mine that switch!

If you switch from Silent to Sports mode, there is a noticeable difference. The exhaust note adopts a growl to it - not as loud though as a cannon type exhaust you see on many Skylines & Rex's.

You can tell the difference just parking & switching between the two, but more so when you "load the car up" driving up a hill, then swtch to sports mode.

My girl gets scared when I boot it up a hill (she's not really a car person, unfortunately!), but relaxes a bit when you switch it to silent.

If you check the exhaust just under the rear bumper, you will most likely see two pipes of different diameters feeding the exhaust itself. There must be a valve that the switches controls to toggle between the two.

Mine is a Nismo exhaust (brand stamped on the underside of the exhaust), so I'm thinking it may well have been a factory option.

Wow.. Great, Mean_R34! Seems that it really works in your skyline, so I think I must check my system and have a test soon.. :P I can't perform the check right now because it's already late nite, and seems that it's so dark outside (everybody knows that.. :P ).. Thanks! :(

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
