Well ..... mine was my mates WRX impressa evoII.... scared the shit outa me ....hehe after that all i caould vision was a turbo import .. so i got me a nice 97 180sx white with yellow interior .....but got hit up the ass at 100klm pu tme in hospital then after all that i bought another 180 wich i own still and love it ....!

first time tasting the sweet motion of boost was in my mates r33 gtr i was 15 at the time and he was a 40yr older.. I wonder who is to blame for my passion of the skyline. but the car was to expensive to buy, after some research in came some of the more budgetable skylines... :D gts25t and so on.. first time actually driving on boost.. VL turbo... nothing better then driving wit your heart pounding...

  • 3 weeks later...

My VERY first taste of boost was in my dads porsche... however i was WAY too young to remember it lol and because i came he had to sell it... typical.

The first time i had ever ridden in and driven a Turbo car was when i was 16yo and my dad had a Twin Turbo Mitsi GTO which was modified. OMG i instantly fell in love and became a bost junky.... until i realsed cars in australia to this caliber were still selling for 40k+ (born and raised in NZ, his car sold for 17k).

It was the car i learnt to drive in while in NZ on holiday and it had a porsche gearbox in it which was ultra smooth and short... awesome car.

I lost my virginity to a turbo silvia on 18psi grin ear to ear.

First drive was R33 GTS-T and since then have been re born that's why I'm clawing at the walls for the next 3 months till I can get mine. I'm having with drawl symptoms....... come on mate just give us another shoot of boost just a little for the road? :drooling: :nowigetit :nowigetit :boinkcar:

Mine was about 2 years ago when I was looking to import my first Skyline. My dad and I met up with the importer who was a friend of my dads. We met him at a servo on his way home and he threw us the keys to the R33 GTR V-Spec sumthing he was driving. He had just picked it up fromthe docks and it still had some type of semi slicks on it and from my memory (I knew jack all then) it had aftermarket turbs, pods, brakes etc etc. This thing was so fast is scared both me and my dad :D Never looked back since and still by far the quickest car I've driven.

had to be a skyline.... 1979 4 door something (not up with the model numbers from back then) has an L28-ET conversion, which is largely a custom build me thinks...runs ~ 22psi and OMG... zoom zoom bloody zoom zoom... scary stuff - specially with 17yr old driver - carazy man !! :headspin:

Currently ANY 32 turbo is in my sights... NA skylines nice, but turbo = even better !!

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope! 
    • I spotted a black C34 in Mittagong this morning!
