I did once, got left off by axcident, not much happened , blow off was much louder, big whoosh. be carfull if you do because the return runs back in front of the turbo with nothing to stop crap getting in and hitting turbo wheel, say good bye if that happens. :Bang:

The pipe i think your talking about is the one about an inch in diameter going down towards the turbo? Thats the recirculation pipe it goes back into the pipe from your air filter and is plumbed in just before the turbo. If you take this off youll have to modify your pipe from air filter to turbo, either getting stainless piping or patching the stock one.

Just get a pod filter and leave the plumb-back in place, the sound will be almost as loud.

Hehe, i think a kazoo or something would sound pretty funny too.

ok i tried this the other day and yeah the car runs heaps rich. I loved the sound but....the car wouldnt idle properly and stalled most times i came to a stop. HOWEVER if u disconnect the vacuum line going from the inlet manifold to ur BOV and block it off then..... insted of pshhhhht its "FLUTTER". Sounds amazing and the car runs a little richer but not really noticeable

What, the whoopie cushion idea? Or the kazoo idea?  :P

Check the net and you'll see its been done before, theres some movies around, I think it was some sort of Mazda, tried various things, eg baloons, party streamers etc, sounded quite funny. No link sorry, shouldn't be too hard to find...

Btw, my stock R32 GTSt bov is like twice as loud as the my GTS25t one, same filter too, dunno why that is...

      In the first photo you posted, the colour of the control arms are the signature colour for Ikeya. Same for the swaybar, signature colour for Whiteline.  I like Hardrace, they also do hardened rubber bushes if your car is mainly a street car.  I like GKTech as well, but they use a lot of rose joints in their stuff so might not be the best choice for everyone.  The system might have been good back in its day, but it's a prehistoric system now. I suspect that most people have removed the HICAS as they want the car to do what they want to do, not what the car wants to do. From what I also understand, it isn't consistent in it's behaviour on track so it's hard to trust the car/know where its absolute limits are for track use.  Having said that, I think the HICAS eliminator kit was the first thing I installed when I bought my car. I don't personally have any experience with the HICAS system on a race track.

      Thanks for the info. Didn’t know I had aftermarket control arms already? Will talk to my garage. What brand would u recommend if I want to play around with my camber more? I would think my camber is around stock level right now or more negative now due to lowering with coilovers. I will be lower her again 1.5 cm to get some more.    also why does everyone like to remove the hicas system? Is it because most don’t work properly anymore or ppl just don’t like them. Mine is functioning as it should be right now.    thanks for the good info

      It looks like you've got Ikeya control arms and an aftermarket sway bar, maybe whiteline?  Or am I just going crazy? lol Unfortunately it won't, but what it will do is look really pretty. That's about all unfortunately.  How much neg camber do you currently have? Generally lowing the car dials in quite a bit of neg camber as it is. If you do go down this path, your best bet is get adjustable arms, toe arms (or preferably a good HICAS elimination kit) and traction rods. With all 3 being adjustable, you'll be able to dial out any bump steer that is introduced by playing with the camber settings.

      Great discussion guys. I just have coil overs in my car right now. Ride is pretty stiff and everything feels very precise and accurate when hitting the corners. I started off with a high level and kept specimen.   the only item I feel I might need to adjust is my camber with control arms or a kit as I might want to tuck in my rims more so there is no rubbing. Otherwise I have not thought too much into it as quite happy with the setup. I think the bushings are all good still.    My motor is currently out now but I have got a nismo front strut bar to install. So that should help with body roll in front.    added a photo of what I started with before the modding or let’s say modernization of parts started. 😂

      Thank you both, much appreciated. Yes, 6k miles, not a typo lol. The underside, engine bay, engine, trunk, interior, etc., look great and super clean, has all the splash guards too. Not sure if you can expand the photos, but the dash pic shows the ODO. She looks brand new, inside and out, even has the original Nissan TV/DVD/Nav head unit; still thinks it's in Tokyo haha! I used to own a '94 MKIV Supra, sadly sold it years ago, but wow I love the Skyline so much! The R34 gets SO much attention here since they just became legal to import last year.
