ok i dont know what i am sayn lol

but the other day i saw a black R34 gtr and yes it was a GTR it was wide and the back was extra wide near the tyres. And i did not hear wooooshhh. i was behind him for a while and he was revvin it

Most NA's have a blue GT badge, and from the sticker/ badge on the boot (GTS/ GT/ GTS4 <- although a few do a turbo conversion for this model). Also, they have a different exhaust note esp if they have an aftermarket exhaust.

You will only hear the "WoooChoo" noise when the car has an air pod(s) while the car is in motion and the turbos are spooling and you take you foot off the accelerator. If its just the stock airbox you won't hear much.

Or if you do hear a "WoooChoo" noise while it was just revving and not moving, it probably have an aftermarket BOV.

R32 GTS - N/A

Different front bumper - not a type M bar

4 stud brakes

Gold GT badges on the side ... dunno about all but mine has Gold GT badges on it others have blue and white badges

Different Exhaust note to it aswell ...

Usually Automatic transmission as well but not always

Those are just a couple tips I could think of ...

Allow me to add... last others have said... N/A's will only have 4-stud wheels, and when they revv, you won't hear a sucking sound... I don't care if you have a stock airbox or a pod filter or not, N/A's will not have a sucking sound.

True that if a turbo Skyline has a good pod filter and front mounted intercooler there's more of a chopping, spooling, sucking sound and ppppffttt sound... even if it doesn't have all this, you still hear a sucking sound... that's probably the easiest things to look out for.

I can tell apart from a turbo/NA skyline anytime. Sometimes its hard cos BMW's an N/A skylines sound very much allike, esp with a larger exh.

The turbo have a kind of "growl" and when off boost will sound a bit muffled, but when on boost its loud and rev out way quicker. However the N/A sounds Raspy/Tinny. They will also be slower to rev out.

thats from my personal experience tho.

EDIT - Sorry guys, left the banana man out by accident ==--> :) Yea!

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
