im not exactly sure if this is what ur talking about but that mechanical noise i assume ur describing is the turbo spooling up. There are very few of us NA boys out there so id say everytime u see/hear a skyline it is most of the time a turbo.

I not sure what you are talking about but...

here is a video clip of my R33 GTS-4 revving up at the light.

its Gun metal Grey with SDU (skylineDownUnder) sticker at the back... its abotu half way of the clip after R31 sleeper :(

I loved the sound of my sky.. pretty loud compared to Turbo cars cuz you know why... :D

enjoy guys and put some your clip if you have them.

i think there are some sort of pod filters available with a plastic cover over them that whistle as air is sucked through them if u want that kinda sound, though they look fairly restrictive to me, not sure what brand either.

heres a few ideas ive heard, to get a nice exhaust note drill a hole through ur exhaust pipe before the muffler, get a bit of guutar string and tack weld it thourgh the pipe, voila u have a wonderful note! another one was to stick a PC fan before the muffler and ull get a turbo whistle lol, never tried it doubt i will! i was gonna try putting a whistle (from those vortex things) in the pod filter before the AFM, lame ;)

I think what streamer was referring to is the difference between the noise of an NA exhaust and the noise of the turbo exhaust...

The NA has a mechanical "zing" sound to it, which I don't ever want to give up even if my exhaust is inefficient.

The turbo has a much lower quieter sound due to the greater flow/less restriction.

correction... its due to its length of the exhaust...:P

Longer pipe = Lower pitch (Bass)

short pipe = hight pitch

add- Longer pipe >(greater) restriction

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
