i've noticed a common trend on these forums where someone posts up that they have just bought a new car and how rapt they are, they detail specs and how much they payed, then always at least one or two people feel it necessary to bum them out and say ' i wouldn't have payed that much' or 'you got ripped off' and so on.

Obviously the person purchasing the car either has plenty of cash so they don't care or they looked around a lot at car yards and privately and most likely got the best deal they could in their area.

Just because you might think you're cool cuz u have connections to people who import skylines and get them dirt cheap, doesn't mean that if someone payed more than what u can get em for that they got ripped off. Or that you have time to spend forever getting the best deal, flying interstate and what not. Maybe some people would rather pay a bit more and buy locally or from a car yard, where they get a warranty!!! It's completely bull shit and i see it all the time on here.

have others noticed this???

just cuz person 'A' can get a bucket of shit 32 gtst for 11K doesnt mean that if person 'B' buys a clean 32 gtst with a warranty and other extra's for 20k that they got ripped off.

f*kn stop being prats and wake up to yourselves

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope! 
    • I spotted a black C34 in Mittagong this morning!
