hey all,

well i finally got my R32 gtst, although i want to make the exhaust legal by putting a high flow resonator on it.....its currently at 120db and want it under 90db. who makes some good decent priced high flow resonators that u guys know of?? prefrebally in the SE area of melb closer to Glen waverely the better.

Also the car has been broken into at one point and the locks are a bit buggered up, who sells and installs locks for the R32 also in the same area???

its also got a really loud fluttereing BOV, think its stock one not sure haven't had a good look yet, wots the process of making it a plumb back???

hope u guys and gals can help. ASAP!! cheers!!!

i've had a look and it is a stock plumb back, but because its got higher boost running and a POD i think thats the reason its fluttereing so much? wot u guys reckon? would the WOLF3D have anything to do with it??

would putting a stock airbox and lowering the boost decrease some of the noise??

I think Before you go about "modding" your car I think you need to decide what you want from it in the long run, Becuase doing things twice can become a real costly affair,

Now a fluttering blowoff? what you mean exactly is there a "chhh"

sortoff sound aswell as the fluttering or is there just only flutter

because if ther eis only a flutter the previous owner has blocked the plumb back to the airinlet forcing the air to be thrown back to atmo through the turbine this is generally not very good for the turbo.

yeah more a sound as when i back off it goes chhh chhh chhh chhh chhh ch ch ch pretty quick but with gaps inbetween, not the psst from a BOV, as i said in last post i think, i've had a look and its running the blumb back and the noise seems to be coming more from the POD area. not the blumb back thingy

Yep it sounds like the prev owner has blocked the plumb line on your intake plenum undo the BOV and see if they have put in a spacer plate to block it up. if not they blocked it up in the line that runs to the turbo inlet (assuming this is the STOCK BOV)

hope this makes sense to you

The BOV located on top of the INLET PLENUM is held in by 2 bolts undo them and it will lift right off.

Good luck.

well PRO_32, thanks heaps, u were right!! i pulled off the bov and there was a plate blockin the hole. ripped it off, sealed it with some silicon and bolted it back on, now all i get is one swoosh of air gushing out. i'm guessing thats how the plumb back should sound. Thou will this now stuff up the fuel maps on the WOLF EMS?

Mufflers Now in Oakleigh [1611 Dandenong Road, near FTG road] and talk to Matt. Phone is 9563-1166 Apparently these guys do a swirl flow resonator that keeps the flow and cuts the noise well. GO THE 4 DOOR!!!

thanks Autotrust, thou part of the nissansilvia.com group buy i got a good deal on a bigger muffler today. i had a straight thru one on and at same time i realised i had a stock cat on the 3" piping, so i got the bigger slightly more buffled muffler put on and gonna get a larger high flow cat on soon. so in long run will be less restrictive and still legal cos i'm just under 90db!!! And yeah go the 4 door!!

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
