Yeh you're right the GTST's and GTR's don't sound exactly the same. My first Skyline was a GTST of the same year and I must admit it did have quite a note before I got busted for it haha! Lets just say it took a lot of work to bring it under 90db again lol!

Yeh I might even post up a vid of it hey? I got the old sound....just need to take some "footage" of the drone.

There's no reputable tuners in my area ;-)

good idea..

get someone to drive it past whilst you record it & place the camera 2M away from the car whilst your car is stationary and rev it a bit.

yeah well the supra i mentioned before, i got tested between 130 - 140db..and i had never gotten busted for the 3 years ive owned it.

looking forward to seeing your video

OK, I've posted up a video just for this thread! Listen to that rumble haha! Well, the rumble it had before the twin to single conversion.

Now I just need to get some footage of the drone although you could just listen to one of those ricer boys with their milo tins ;-) Sounds just like it lol.

that sounds awsome

yep, whenever your ready with the video

It did have a nice ring to it hey? Now you know why I posted....because with my turbo conversion that all disappeared.

I guess it's a matter of opinion too:

...some people care only about getting from point A to point B. Then you got those who only care about the look and sound of their car....you know, the all-show-no-go type. Then you go the opposite of that where people build brutal machines that set lap records and don't really mind what they look or sound like......and then finally, I guess you have my catagory - a slightly built up GTR for track and road use....nice looks and wanting nice sound too, so the whole thing really.

But yeh I'll try to capture some "drone" ;-)

well if it were me i wouldnt care too much about the sound

depends on how your car really sounds like......

it probably doesnt sound bad at all but your just not used to it?

yeah highly modified cars can sound very different

this 7 sec supra for e.g... ive noticed anything over the 1000hp range they start to sound like a Tractor rather than a car...

listen to this supras idle..

If it was just a different note then that would be OK....but in my case it not only has a different note but it has quite some drone to it. Oh yeh, that's true - the more HP the less they sound like what they did with just factory type power. Yep, that supra idles nothing like the normal ones hehe....but then that ain't quite a supra anymore! It's more like 10 supras in 1 lol!

I went for a little spin around the block before and got a dose of drone on camera....just waiting for the video to become active. Will post the link when it's good to go. You'll have to watch it straight after you watch my other one - quite a difference!

:down:

gee

that sounds awsome!

if there is no loss of power i dont think theres anything wrong, it may be what you were saying in the first place, the design of the turbine & size.

ive heard T88 & T78 supras and GT-Rs and they do sound different to stock.

id love that sound....that doesnt sound like no shitty non turbo 4cyl dude....

im guessing it sounds a bit better in real life?

the "droning" sound...are you describing it as the low pitch gurgle?

if so, thats just the nature of the turbocharger.

if you really care about sound, something you might wana look at in the long run would be aftermarket cams...

they play a big role in a cars exhaust note.

LOL I knew you'd say that. Well, the first part of the video is just the exhaust in idle in the garage and like I said earlier, it still sounds half decent under around 1500rpm or so. I used my own shitty camera for this so it didn't pick up the droning part of the movie as well as I hoped. It's hard to explain really and it would be so much easier if you one could just go for a spin ;-)

By the way, when there's no load on the engine and you free-spin it up to like 3000 or so like I did in the video it won't drone....it's only when I'm driving and when the engine is at work that it drones its head off :) (Did you watch the driving bit in the movie?)

the "droning" sound...are you describing it as the low pitch gurgle?

if so, thats just the nature of the turbocharger.

Nope it's that "gurgle" sound that I love - it's unique to the RB series engines and from it you can tell there's a Skyline nearby :(

In my first video where I'm driving to the pits you can hear the sound there and it would continue like this all the way through the rev range...it was music!

In the clip you'll notice that it no longer does the "gurgling" during normal cruising like it used to with the twins.

But yeh, to anyone else reading this - don't get me wrong - it's not a bad thing.....I'm just hoping that someone who's noticed exactly the same thing may have done something with their exhaust to minimize the drone and bring out some of that old sound when driving etc. Please check out my two comparsion videos put up just for this thread/question:

Sound after twins were replaced with GT35r (please watch this one all the way through)

yeah i listen to it all the way

the video sound is very muffled

but i personally dont think theres anything wrong

i take it that your just getting used to it, aftermarket turbos do make a change to the note

yeh would be nice if you could set up a video outside.....whilst driving...

set it on a Kerb outside and drive past it on the opposite side of the road.

awsome! :thumbsup:

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
