Ok guys and girls its time to play " whats that noise?! " :)

K, when my GTS hits 2500rpm i get a really horrible noise coming from the exhaust which lasts to about 3000rpm.

Its like a vibrating note and sounds like shit.

Just wondering if its my Catalytic Converter, Muffler, Natural resonance or me???

assuming you have a stock exhaust, One with the twin head on it???

Have a look down the righthand side and you should see a flap over the hole, blocking it..

Like this... ex2.jpg

I believe the cable you can see in the next photo opens the hole when the pressure builds up or the car reaches a certain rpm!! This could be the cause of your noise! I find mine gets louder around the same time!

There is a cable on the upper right hand side that opens this flap!ex1.jpg

Just a thought!!!!

I know what you mean, its like a flapping, cracking noise from about 2500-3000, i think its a N/A thing, i got a barrel muffler put on and it just mad it louder sounds kinda cool like you got some funky mods or something, after a while when the engine heats up after 10mins or so it seems to die down a little bit. I can never work out what the noise is, i heard the cams do it aswell.........

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
