The other point I was trying to make is I can't understand why people buy turbo cars and then never use them! I'm not attacking anyone, I just fail to see the logic behind buying a powerful performance car and never actually enjoying it - I don't consider the occasional squirt from 0-100 properly enjoying a car.

i bought a turbo car and i use mine everyday, its got decent power and i enjoy it.. whats the problem?

How do you define "use them?"

What about all the people that drive around in M3s & AMG mercs (& other much more powerful cars than a GTS-T) & "never really use them"

Same here.

I consider the occasional squirt from 0 to 60 (or 100 depending on speed limit) enjoying the car, seeing how I won't be able do it on my parents' cars (slow ass Corolla & Camry).

Like I said, I love the sound. I'm also not a dick who hoons around public streets or needs anymore attention from the cops by having illegal BoVs.

I mean really, why do any cars need loud exhausts, kits or big rims? It's all show, just like a fake turbo.

If you actually take your car to the track and NEED that sort of power that's the only reason I think anyone should buy a turbocharged car.

Fair enough, I was being more specific with regard to performance cars. E.g. Supras, Skylines, etc.

I don't understand why people buy GTSTs (or GTRs) over an NA Skyline if all they do is take it to the shops/Uni/work and back. Unless of course they're undertaking illegal street activities.

I also fail to understand why a loud exhaust is any less wanky than a fake turbocharger (I don't think either are particularly wanky - I just fail to see the difference). I mean you can remove the stock exhaust restriction easily enough without having to wake the neighbours everytime you drive home.

They're both simply for show, and I find it strange that if a fake spool and BoV were invented (that sounded good) why people think it's more wanky than a 120dB exhaust on an 120rwkw Skyline.

Wow. People need to read my posts better.

A) I agreed and said exhausts do NOT need to be loud to make power. I was comparing a loud (see loud, not unrestricted) exhausts usefulness to a fake turbo. Neither do anything but add noise for show.

B) I only said a fake turbo that sounded EXACTLY like a turbo spooling and releasing would kind of cool (and I guarantee if it were available and not expensive 90% of the P platers out there would agree). None of this whistler shit they have now. I know I'm going to get flamed on this point, but like I said; I love the sound of a a turbo spooling and a nice BoV, I agree it is kind of wanky, but if I cannot afford the turbo model or an unable to drive the turbo model (P plate laws) then I'd consider this till I could upgrade properly.

C) I have driven plenty of turbo charged cars. In fact I've spent quite a few hours behind the wheel of an Evo 7 and R33 gtst.

Never mind, you guys just aren't getting my point.

And for the record, my NA Supra has extractors, full mandrel bent exhaust, whiteline swaybars, KU36 rubber all around and soon to have coilovers. I'm not bragging, I'm just saying I'm all for NA performance, and I don't doubt their potential. I just hate seeing awesome cars like TT Supras and GTRs all prettied up in custom paint, 20" dished out chromies and massive body kits never being used to their full potential. If you want a show pony buy an NA and putt around in that.

Anyway, I'm done for this thread.

Soooo you pretty much just said everyone here that owns a turbo shouldn't own one because we don't use them "properly". Ohhhh k. Well that's point i got from your posts.....

haven't been in the NA section for a few days, so thought i'd stop back in and see what was going on. good to see there are still idiots in here making posts that make us guys in wasteland look intelligent, LOL

ok lets list off reasons why not to get aany product that makes your car sound like it has a turbo when it doesn't:

1: proves you are a ricer wannabe

2: after you get beaten by a commodore or falcon they will brag to their mates because they think they beat a turbo car

3: they look extremely crap because you can see this shiny thing sitting up the exhaust

4: harden the f**k up and buy a turbo car if you want the whistle. if you are on your p's and can't legally drive a turbo car, just wait until you can. that way you will hopefully have some of your stupidity out of your system by then.

5: let's say you don't do the clamp up properly and the thing comes flying out and hits a pedestrian and hurts them. or it comes out and narrowly misses a bikie following you, resulting in him pulling up next to you at the next intersection and kick your door in

Ah HAH! So you DO want a turbo car to drive around everyday in...including going to work and taking it to the shops...despite questioning this WHOLE time what the point of us turbo owners are doing with a turbo car in the first place!

I mean you can remove the stock exhaust restriction easily enough without having to wake the neighbours everytime you drive home.

The laws of thermodynamics come to the conclusion that a better flowing exhaust will inevitably be louder.

That's not to say that shithouse loud exhausts can't flow badly to a point where a well made, quiet, exhaust does a better job, but if you have 2 decibel limits and both exhausts are made "perfectly" while achieving those noise targets then the louder one will flow better.

I think power for the sake of power (if they don't make proper use of it) is a wank, but I'd still give it more credit than someone who wants the byproduct of power for the sake of the byproduct of power, without any performance to go with it.

BOV/flutter is the sound of trying to cram more air into your engine than it'll take. Exhaust gases are the waste generated by combustion. In other words, its the engine equivalent of taking vomiting and taking a shit respectively.

If you like to eat a lot then sometimes you'll eat until you puke, and take dumps more often. At least you're hopefully enjoying a lot of tasty meals, and it's the body's natural reaction. People who voluntarily choose to vomit and poo so they can look cool are called bulemics, and it's a mental illness.

I can't speak for anyone else on matters of opinion, but if you have a look at the other threads on here where people say they just want a loud exhaust and don't care about performance, I'll be there to pay them out for it.

That these people also tend to own NA Skylines I'll write off as a coincidence, rather than another example of their mental deficiencies.

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
