i always thought that the flutter noise caused by VLs and other cars is because there is to much air being forced into the car but for no where to go after that?

After watching the HKS R34 on youtube in action i absolutely love the sound it makes. i never was a fan of the flutter but damn it sounds sexi. i urge anyone who loves or hates the sound to watch it.

my question is....if this is bad for the turbo...because the air is being forced back and around the exhaust/turbo.

why has HKS allowed this to happeN?

and its not just HKS.........

I have looked over that car in person in Japan and its modified beyond your wildest dreams anDru, its not some sick VL with a pod filter and intercooler.

i have the high performance imports mag review on the car and i know wats inside.

i jsut want to know why.....after so much modding there is still excess air not being released...or in short why is it still fluttering?

i swear if i could id make my car the exact same sound drooooooooolz

lol gotta love that drift king tchuchiya

sorry but im gonna have to quote u

Dont quote me here but i think the reason they dont put blow off valves on it is so that it has quick off-on throttle response.

Think about it, its HKS... do they care if their turbo dies?

but is that the only thing dat gets damaged....the turbo?.........nothign else?

oh and can someone tell me...the stock turbo on a r34 gtt. if i had no bov...compared to one that did.

how much faster are we guessing the turbo will die....if both cars are treated equally. (theres always someone who has to get smart and say shit like that)

Wouldnt recommend taking it off. Guess Nissan did put the blow off valve there for a reason.

Blocking it or taking it off will cause you to run rich, as in popping almost every gear change, and cause your car to frequently stall.

As for the life of a stock turbo, the wheel is ceramic. People's ceramic turbo's fail with blow off valves, so imagine without :|

Ive got a similar 'flutter' sound from my turbo!..talkin' to a guy at my local w'shop he said Ive a 'soft turbo'!! is this the same thing?? the explanation he gave me is much like whats been said already by the guys above...Im gonna keep it anyway sounds to good to lose :D

lol

* takes away andruu's thread making privlidges

yeah. coz inspecting the car in person, and reading about in HPI are totally the same :D

no its not the same but u get a preety rough idea of wat its got...compared to someone who just saw it on youtube......

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it鈥檚 still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
