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!

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
