Hey guys,

I have always wanted to buy a skyline and finally I am looking at one I really like. The car is non-turbo, which is what I want (I'm on my opens) purely because I'm not that into the 'need for speed'. I just love the look and feel of the car.

Anyways, there is something with the car that turns me off it. Every gear, between 3500 and 4000 rpm, the exhaust makes this rattling sound. It's a non-turbo r33 with a stock exhaust. The fella trying to sell it to me reckons thats normal for non-turbo skylines with a stock exhaust.

The car is otherwise pretty damn quiet. I love everything else.

Does anyone know what is going on related to the exhaust?

ps: sorry if I posted this in the wrong spot

pretty common apparently,

In the stock exhaust for n/a(non-turbo) r33's at least, there's a butterfly valve in one of the exhaust pipes that opens up at a certain rpm, could be something to do with that?

Try to see if you can find another n/a r33 to see the sound it makes at the same rpm

good luck,

and welcome to the forums.

P.S you might have better luck in the n/a section of the forums

That must be it...

Becuase the exhaust is really nice/quiet/rublish until EXACTLY 3.5-4k rpm. The second it gets above or below that, no rattle. Took it on the highway to 6k rpm... no rattle. The guy was in the car with me, so can't test it to hard haha.

Anyways, thanks for the reply, and thanks for the welcome.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
