Nismo Gears

[Dush]

hey how you all doin?

I just bought a 1997 GTST skyline form Japan and it’s still on its way to Australia.

On the specs it says it has a Nismo Gearbox. Can some one please tell me the different form a shock gearbox and a Nismo gearbox? And its advantages and disadvantages.

You’re all going to laugh but I love the noise of charged air when changing gears... I’m a big fan of the “floder” noise. I don’t know how to get it? Is it a BOV, and if is what type? Or is it an Air filter?

The only modifications its got is an Apexi Exhaust and the Nismo gearbox.

Oh yea… can someone tell me what cheapest way to get my car running quicker than standard?? I’m aiming mid to high 13’s?.. nothing too extream as I have to drive it to Uni every day. :flamed:

Thankz guyz :kick:

The noise as the throttle is shut is from the pressure inside your pipes being greater than that outside and it can't go thru the throttle body anymore, so it goes back through the turbo blades... OR the vacuum lines assists the BOV to open up and vent the gas back into the atmosphere.

So if you use a BOV obviously its louder as more air escapes more quickly and you can make it do all sorts of crazy noises BUT...

I think you are after the awesome sound of no blow me valve, just the air chopping back through the blades. The answer to this is, POD filter, you will hear it better, also get rid of AFM's to hear it even better... although that requires the use of after market ECU, which would be an interesting thing to purchase just to hear the chopping air noise...

So ignore all above crap... get pod filter. don't get BOV

Sweet.. thankx bro.. whats a AFM?

oh yea.. when buying a podfilter.. is it better to by like a K&N filter, HKS, Apexi etc.. or to buy a cheap Pod or mushroom filter like $15 from one of em asian performance shops in Footscray?

Do a search mate. there is a thread detailing the best quality filter. One of the Jap ones, but not the common HKS. Might be Trust.

Air Flow Meter. On my GT4, once the AFM came off when the Microtech went in, it sounded amazing. One of the loudest flutters I have heard yet...

As for the pod, just get a cheapie, you are only after the noise, so you'll luv it.

I would very much doubt that you have any thing other than a standard gearbox. Possibly you may have a nismo short shift kit, nismo gear knob or mayby a nismo clutch but that would be it.

Have checked nismo parts list, they dont do complete gear boxes. Clutch, flywheel and short shift kit are the closest parts.
