come on guys what do you think??

i know most ppl do not like the sound at all,

and because my standard one cant hold more then 15psi it is time to change to aftermarket. i was thinking hks ssqv but not sure,

what do u guys think,

the flutter or the ppssshhhh or a little squeek??

i am not into the ppsshhhhh or the loud ones anyway i want something that will sound diffrent and not give the 75 year old man walking down the street a heart attack. i want something that looks good and sounds good.

any one got any ideas??

The 'flutter' is due to no BOV, and the air hitting the compressor wheel in the opposite direction that it is meant to turn (read: not good for turbo).

I'm not a fan loud BOV's; plumb-backs are cheaper and those who don't know anything about cars (all turbos go PSCHHHT, right?) will get a bit of a shock.

you'd actually have to be running some fair amounts of boost for it to be damaging the turbo. Most turbo cars will flutter when a pod filter is put on due to air getting back out the pod - its normal! All my turbo cars have done it... if you want flutter get a pod and an adjustable bov, tighten it right up and voila!

yeah i understand that the air is going back thru the turbo if there is no bov.

and i have a pod and i doget that sound now with the standard bov.

but now because i am getting an aftermarket one and i know there are diffrent sounding bovs.

the type 3 supersonic on a real tight spring will flutter, not the same as if there is no bov but it will go pshhpsshpsshppshpshp.

I have a GFB Stealth FX which can be switched from atmo venting to plumback with the turn of a dial. great bov, highly recomend it!

I've also got the Stealth FX. It's awesome!! You can get heaps of different sounds out of it by adjusting the spring tension.

It's also good if you want no bov noise, just twist the top and it's a plumback (sounds awesome on plumback too!).

I wouldn't even consider getting any other bov...

I've got the Stealth FX too. Can be handy if you have standard computer and have bad over fueling due to stock ecu sending air that is vented through your aftermarket bov. FX helps this by allowing air to be vented back into the system and to the atmo as well. adjust your ratios and no worries...

      Sane enough. Remove the roof liner, because the acid will go everywhere.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      Thanks guys, I really appreciate the help and experienced opinions.  I have spent a lot of my life working on boats so I'm pretty good with fibreglass. I'll take everybody's advice in here;  I'll cut a little more of the 2nd layer away as it's a bit crunchy rust and also it's sitting high now. Then I'll wire brush it all a bit to get off anything loose, then I'll soak the bejesus out of it all in rust converter. I'll make sure to get a little hose piece and feed it into all the holes and gaps between the roof layers. Then I'll fibreglass up the holes.  Then I'll get a pallet of filler and mix it with 3 buckets of hardener and hope that is enough to build up the roof corner.  Does that sound sane? Is one type of filler better than others for this?

      My goals for it atm are to get it registered, respray and some mild power gains eventually... I picked up the car from an elderly gentleman near the border of NSW and VIC, its honestly a bit rough and looks like its been driven on a farm (because there was so much dirt underneath). Last week I dropped the subframe and emptied the old fuel out + added a new fuel pump (think the old one went bad from old fuel). Now I'm onto fixing a coolant leak at the rear of the engine + adding a new radiator as the old one is corroded. After that i have a new bumper, coils (as the old were leaking) and lots more

      Love this so much! Please post a photo when you have a bike on the trailer.  I was a little bit worried about having a tow bar on the Skyline, but having it hidden behind the number plate is genius
