GeeTR....yeh I tried to post up the ".amr" file but it said that I do not have permission to post that file format. I'll see what I can do - I'll try to get some better sound as this batch didnt come out too well on the mobile.

If none of you guys have come across that sound with your GTR's then it may quite possibly the oldish foam of my pod filters making that sound when boost travels back out through them. I'm yet to drive around the block with out them.

All you guys who replied....you all actually drive GTR's, right? I've been through some threads on here where idiots who drive their mummy's commodore put their two cents worth into topics - oh man, they know SOO SOO SOO much about those "4-cylinder" RB26's...oh yes they do!!! They should be shot! LOL. .....the threads end up turning into arguments then. Quite amusing to read - but also quite painful when you're looking for info.

....anyway, just wondering if any of you guys have a idea around why my GTR doesn't flutter even with NO BLOW OFF VALVES. If you guys could perhaps explain that to me that could help me solve my other *noise* problem.

I'm a proud hippy vegan hitchhiker bum, but i once slept under a HPI magazine, featuring a Daihatsu GTR with RC26DETT... so i definitely know what your talking bout brother.

No idea why your setup flutters under partial throttle, but not with your BOV's sealed up... but then your mechanic suggested you have a external gate hooked up... so anything could be possible :D

Zip and post, or just change the file extension.

it's normal. with the pods on sometimes RB26s will make a sort of bark/cough noise when you back off/change gear. I think it's the combo of the blitz valves and the pods. just part of the symphony of noises you get from a twin turbo 26.

Ah finally! Beer Baron....someone who actually knows about the sound! Yes, it sounds like a funny bark or very off / broken blow off valve! So we're partially on the same page there but unfortunately it has nothing to do with the valves as I have taken them off completely and it still makes the sound! Pretty crazy! ...but it does rule out the bov's.

I've had another idea at what i could be though....it may actually be air rushing past the plumb back / recirc pipe that is still attached. It is punged up at the BOV end.

I'm thinking of when you blow over the top of a tallie or something and it makes that trumpet sound. I think that could be happening with the plumb back pipe where it's attached to the turbo inake pipe behind the afm.

Yep, go the symphony lol...just not this 1 sound haha i dont like it sorta...i swear, i like all the other sounds lolz!!

Fly12n, finally some more people who know the sound hehe! Took a while lol!

OK, well if it's all normal than that's ok I guess ;-)

Do you know where the noise is generated from? Is this what "flutter" (or, oi-uleh-fully-sic-flooder-maate) sounds like with two turbo's? If you think about it you couldn't really get that chuff-chuff-chuff-chuff-chuff sound with two turbos...the two turbos would put out something totally different???

I'm thinking that this may be it because, when I run no bov's it still makes that sound.....that's BOOH sound (lmao)

LOL at the omguleh's!!! Hehe...um yeh I've been thinking about that. There's a fair few threads on big single conversions on here. There's a bit to it with the GTR's and I may have to save up just a little bit lol! About 6 to 7 g's

But yeh I'm not gonna ask about it in this topic...there's already sh*tload's of threads on it by Beer Baron and the likes - actually the one by him is quite an extensive thread.

Gareth, ah dude doesnt worry me. It's always hard trying to suss stuff like that out. It's no use to take the thread any further without posting up a high quality audio recording - so I'm gonna leave it just for now. People I've shown so far here where I live are stumped by the sound - even those who know quite a lot about GTR's and work with them everyday.

I'll try to get something on the weekend - perhaps I can email it instead to the highest bidders lol.

But yeh as far as the turbo upgrade goes...hehe, mine's all stock...it doesnt even have an exhaust. But, I bombed my old GTST out so far....I went to court for it and everything. Hence my new GTR has been left pretty stock.

It's ok guys...she's all cool.

S15 - nice choice man! There's a silver one getting around where I work - goes hard and sounds to match!!! Very sexy!

Yep, I'll go sic on it once more I reckon - I mean why not, gotta have some fun with these last barrels of fuel hey? Won't be able to afford it when it starts to run dry - and I don't think I'll be converting the GTR over to hydrogen!!

I have my first track outing very soon - it should be fun! See how the stock GTR goes against the other boys ;-) It will probably make me wanna do some work on it too hehe

Julz, for sure man - she'll be fresh as. Just going down for a mess around and see what I make of it. First time mate. I downloaded my asaa license form today so in the next month or so I hope to go for some laps....wed or sat arvo sprints is the event.

It should be a good day out...so far I've just been out in the gokarts (big carts) but not with a car. The GTR is just a bit gocart so yeh - should be great fun provided I don't spin out into the wall ass first!

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      The price isn't the issue, it's how hard my fuel pump is to remove now. I fabricated a custom bracket so my pump sits on the very bottom of the tank (I ran the tank down to 5L remaining to test it, works well). But it is a fkn NIGHTMARE to get the pump down into the tank now =/ words can't describe how much I hate fighting with the fuel pump/hanger now. The other issue is reliability, I'm driving down for WTA in a couple of months, I'd be less then impressed if I was half way to Sydney from Brisbane and my pump fails again =/ The other issue I had was my car battery was slowly failing, with low battery voltage my fuel pump couldn't keep up with what the reg was asking from it. I've replaced the battery and my fuel pressure is back to being perfect.  As for the low voltage situation that killed my previous battery, I've got a 150amp alternator sitting on my desk waiting to go in. Fingers crossed that will sort that issue.

      R32 Nostalgia

      OK so I just bidded $500 on an R33 GTS4 that no one seems to want. Waiting on a call from the agent to see if I won. 32 GTS4 is for sale. I can't deal with the temptation to mod it.

      Might be there for work later in the year. Wouldn't mind catching up with you fellas - can't have too many beers, but will consume copious amounts of takoyaki while executing an asian squat on the side of the road while you blokes sort out your hangovers.

      I know one example is a anecdote not data, but I'm running the same Aeroflow 525 at full voltage through a regular relay, and while I've had other fuel problems including melting the factory fuel hat, the pump itself has been fine for years. Of course, they aren't *that* expensive these days, you could swap in a new one and see if the issue is resolve. I think you had a previous thread about fuel problems, have you been monitoring and logging fuel pressure? Is there anything voltage related (for example does the voltage go up when the pressure goes down)
