Howdy,

I recently installed a bov on the skyline and now I can hear a 'sucking' noise when accelerating. Its a bit weird - it basically sounds like the car is leaking air while its trying to suck it into the engine. I got an exhaust and pod filter installed at the same time and I have to say the performance of the car has barely changed. The power delivery is smoother now, but there is no noticable change in the amount of grunt. Not the result I was hoping from from those mods. I initially though the sound was from the pod filter but its quite strange not to get any power hikes, plus its very easy to hear from inside the car.

Is it possible the bov was installed incorrectly? The guy who did it was definately not a skyline specialist (long story) and I have a feeling he really didnt know what he was doing...

Regards,

Steve

the sound you hear is probably from the Pod filter, its much louder than the factory airbox.

The standard BOV's had a sucking whistle while the car was on boost, but that was just the way it was designed.

The sucking noise is your POD filter... All PODS suck air under throttle

its actually just the sucking sound of the turbo...

but now that you have removed the airbox (replaced it with a pod) there is no baffling of the sound, and thus it is easier to hear the sucking sound

:P

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?
