hey thanks bumblebee, ive just got the car back, as i said to the mechanic leave it standard, im not a loud 'BOV, external wasegate, loud exhaust' kinda person, but this is the set up he gave me including all the custom polished inlet piping (which i admit looks amazing)

ive just spent close to $23k, and i dont want to spend anymore, as long as the shuffle isnt wrecking the engine i can live with it, but i will go back to stock BOV

im just a bit more concerned about engine light coming on when full boost hits, can anyone help me with this, as i said i have the new LINK G4, and my mechanic said not to worry bout the light because the LINK overrides this?????? im just a lil worried? would it be a dumb idea to instal a knock sensor? i live about 500k away from my mechanic so i cant get back to him for a while but he insists its ok?

when i started these mods about 1 year ago didnt know anything about modding these cars, so went on my mechanics advice, so please no lectures :thumbsup:

my mechanic is 550km away so any help would be great on the noises

cheers

If your mechanic lives that far away, you might as well just come with your GTR on the ferry to Melbourne, and get it tuned correctly by Ben. :P

hello

anyone heard of some kind of device/restrictor you put on your manifold that supressors the shuffle noise, some kind of pipe with a box, appranetly honda v techs have it to dampen there inlet noise?

most cars have a resonator box... but its part of the stock air box... u remove the stock air box and it makes the other box useless because theyre generally connected to the stock air box.. cant say ive seen one that wasnt connected to the stock box

We've told u how to fix it dude.. there are no short cuts

stock piping + stock bovs. put ur stock bovs on and see how that goes

if that doesnt work then either live with it, or go stock piping

hey the ticking noise ur talking about when boost comes on is probly the boost controller, mine did this

check to see if the boost controller is mounted with rubber or foam underneath (between it and the engine bay)

the solenoid tix rapidly to control boost which is what i think is making the noise, so put something inbetween if there isnt something there already

cheers

going back to stock will help.

ben explained to me that the reason by the stock bovs r the best ones for the job is because they are one of the few bovs that actually stay open under light throttle which apparently help to minimise shuffling

hey, the reason why he changed BOV was because they couldnt hold on higher boost (18lbs) which i didnt think was that much boost to start leaking, is that maybe cause they had done 170k's?, would replacing them with brand new stock ones be able to hold the higher boost? what kind of power, or boost preasure can the stock ones hold?

cheers for advice......

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
