[streamer]

ne of ya'll got this problem?

thanks guys...n just wondering..=)

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.

lol its the turbo mate, no problem. Some are louder then others however specially if they have a POD filter

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...

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

[Guest neoGT-25]

ok wait...

what car was the film taken from? red R34?

[Pva_Glue]

no other Red R33 GTS-T SII I think

I know I love my exhuast sound... never seen any other car with same sound...

I had extractor and blitz pod

[naiwiboo]

if you want a mechanical noise from the front of your car u could try throwing sand in your brake calipers.. but that would just sound nasty

alternatively you could try to get something stuck in your air intake but i wouldnt recommend that either

[NA_R33]

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...

Longer pipe = Lower pitch (Bass)

short pipe = hight pitch

add- Longer pipe >(greater) restriction
