hey guys, i have this hissing noice comming from around my intake pleanum area, right near the injectors...

i have replaced or cheacked all my hoses comming off the plenum and i am 99% sure its not the plenum gasket.

i asked my mechanic what the go was and he said he has head it befor and its a not a gasket leak...he isnt 100% sure what it is but...he has heard it before....

anyway do you guys have or know this sound? its very faint, not loud like a proper air leak....and you can just hear it over the injectors ticking away...

i'm going to do a smoke test to see if i can see smokbeing sucked intot he engine somewhere....will let you know how i go...

yeah i have heard this noise since day 1 of owning the car and i have changed the injectors to new nismo ones...

are you talking about the large rubber seals that go between the injectors and the plenum or the actual injector seals...upeer and lower?

I had my issue from the day it left the boat in QLD.

...are you talking about the...

Yup, all and any. Spray everything, I used a whole can around my engine. My issue (car not mental) was compounded by a leak in the throttle body <-> plenum fit, as well as where the throttle plate spindle protrudes from throttle body (RB26)

Good luck

I've been wondering about that noise for some time now... I think it's just normal air sounds wooshing through the plenum or something? I have no car issues, no lag, no surging or anything... just that feint hissing noise.

Once, I didn't seal my catch-can properly after emptying it, and there was a VERY LOUD hissing noise afterwards (and the car barely idled, but that is too obvious).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
