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! :(

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
