Hey guys,

last night on the cruise a black r32 was next to me and kept 'dosing' his turbo, making the tu tu tu noise.

It sounds like turbo flutter but the sound is much much louder and slower sounding.

I read somewhere on the net that to get this noise u need to have a straight pipe coming off the front of the turbo and either block off your BOV or completely remove it.

Does anyone know how to achieve this sound from your turbo? I am aware that some people think or bad for the turbo etc, but i am not worrying about that at the moment.

If anyone could advise me how this sound is achieved it would be awsome :laugh:

Yep thats right just disconnect your

Blow off valve.. It may leak a little tho depending on type.. And just have a different intake pipe.. Theres a full how to on the calais turbo site for the vls.. Gotta love that sound..

I've got the stock BOV on my car, and i have replaced the standard gasket with a "solid" tin gasket so when the BOV goes off it cant vent to intake, therfore forcing the air back thru the turbo. But how do i get it real loud like that r32 last night?

If you want a cheap and easy way of getting flutter you could use a Coke Can, lol. I did this with my car and it works perfect.

You just cut the Can open, take the BOV off, cut the Can to the same shape as the BOV, drill 2 holes in the Can for the BOV bolts, put the piece of Can in between where your BOV bolts onto the pipe and done. :laugh:

The BOV is still on there and all the hoses are still hooked up but the BOV is blocked off. The Aluminium is heaps strong enough to block it off.

Oh and you will also need a Pod Filter

Have fun! :laugh:

Oh true, they might have a metal intake. Makes the flutter noise alot louder!!! lol

Plus i noticed mine got louder when i got a Front Mounter Intercooler :laugh:

Even easier way? You take off the little piece of rubber hose that goes from the outlet of the BOV to the solid pipe which goes to the intake, shove a coke-bottle lid down about halfway, and put the hose back on as it was. The air can't get out because of the bottle lid and it still looks stock!

R33Matt - I have done exactly that with my BOV, and i do get turbo flutter however it isnt that loud or the same as the "dose" noise....

I have a pod filter, FMIC, stock BOV....

or you could do it the proper way which is easiest if you have a fmic. Relocate the afm to the I/C piping, probably just before the cross over pipe would work best and then that gives you more room and can make any sort of intake you would like as it only needs the pod on the end.

I would be using a piece of 3" pipe with the pod on the end that way the pod will go straight onto the end of the pipe and all you will need is a 3" to 2 1/2" reducer (silicon hose) to attach the pipe to the front of the turbo. 2 1/2" pipe gives you that real high pitched annoying flutter/dose. 3" would be more mellow and less high pitched.

Of course the bov has to be blocked/removed. It's a lot of stuffing around for a sound that isn't that great and get's very annoying. But, each to their own. good luck with it.

also one other thing. Im not sure what you would need to do with the breather hose that is attached to the stock intake. I'm not sure where you would re locate that, the plumb back pipe is obviously out of the equation now as you wont be using your BOV.

Pfft, I just run a metal pod filter and an ARC bov wound up really tight (had to wind it up so tight to stop it from letting air out at idle).

      Any chance you can get a Nistune board installed instead and set the speed limit to whatever your tires can handle?

      ER34 AT ECU and HKS SLD pins

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf

      Slimline sub on the rear parcel shelf is doable. Pioneer TS-WX140DA is only 70mm high.

      People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.

      What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
