hi there,

my mushroom(air filter) has no sound of sucking air and the sound of when u release the pedal(duno how to explain). totally like a stock air box.

and just a little sound when rev it up to 5000rpm

it happen suddensly>.<

thx for help

Try taking the filter off and going for a quick drive or just revving it and see how it sounds then...

If it has changed and wasent always like that then something must be wrong... Very strange for it to change suddenly.

I used to use the UniFilter oiled foam version. Ran for about the past 6 months, make massive sucking noise...more than most.

Now I have replaced with stock airbox and hi-low filter...only can hear the spool of my turbo...

performance difference...none

Gheyness factor of the air noise...10

Now thats one less thing I can be defected for.

Um, the Kunjeng and Rasr, those were excellent posts trying to help him diagnose his problem.

I've had a hks pod before. It made massive induction noise.

For it to have suddenly stopped making that noise, there must be something wrong.

Now, I don't know how mecahnically minded you are. I have a friend who always thinks there is something wrong with his car.

Is the noise actually totally gone? or just softer? Did it just stop one day suddenly? or it's softer over time?

Bov blocked/seized or turbo blown. That's all I can think of.

If ther turbo was blown he would be making next to no power so thats deffinetly not the problem. If the blow off valve was seized there would still be induction noise but at a guess you would just get much more compressor surge flutter instead of bloww off valve noise/recirculation noise. Like i suggested try taking it for a short run with the filter removed to see if there is any difference. If there is then you know its directly related to your filter. If not then theres a change somewhere else in the system.

Deren

So there's no noise when you "release the (accelerator) pedal"?

No "pssccchhtttt" noise, when there use to be?

BOV jammed? Something to do with the BOV, or the recirculating pipe.... Pull it off, have a look.

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
