Lol , harsh but understandable responses...i too preferred this sound but once I learnt about the physics of the whole thing , I decided my turbo was more important then a sound. Anyone reasonable will come to the same conclusion. The sound is from the fact that the bov is blocked off/not working correctly , leading to air rushing back towards the turbo when the throttle is closed shut. This hair is chopped up by the blades of the turbo leading to the psh psh psh. If you hear this sound it either means that your bov port is blocked or it isn't working correctly. The pressure on the blades usually doesn't do much but in a series 2 r33 the wheel is ceramic not steel and is more susceptible to being damaged. If you really want the sound , as stated above , all you have to do is block of the bov but this may (and is still highly debated) shorten the life of your turbo , especially if its ceramic wheeled.

I was under the impression that it's only the exhaust side that's ceramic on a R33 turbo?

yes this is correct however there have been many failures , thought to have been caused by a blocked bov on series 2 ceramic wheeled skylines as opposed to much less failures to on the s1's . Like I said its still a hotly debated topic as to whether it does any significant damage (you'l hear the vl guys talk bout their hectic flutter setup running strong for 3 years on the stock turbo)...but Id rather keep away from that , fit a pod and just be content with the "whoosh" sound.

Yeah trying not to start that debate.

But.

How does the air on the intake affect/effect the ceramic blades on the exhaust side?

it shouldnt...at all...as far as i understand..just pointing out that for some reason the ceramic wheeled turbos arent that tolerable as the completely steel wheeled ones... Id lean towards the compressor wheel being made of nylon in the s2 having something to do with it as well.

if im spewing wrong info , il be more then happy to be corrected as I am fairly new to skylines myself.

Nylon is very very strong. Frankly, I have my doubts that air flowing back through the compressor will do any damage, as there is no load on anything. Actual compressor surge which occurs on throttle when the engine can't consume the air being generated by the turbo; that I could understand how it would damage things as there is significant load on the turbine and therefore the compressor.

But when the shaft is just free-wheeling in decel and off-throttle situations, there is very little resistance to the air flowing backwards. Perhaps on already weakened blades it might put enough stress on them to be the final straw on the camels back to cause major damage, but otherwise the wheels should be built to handle much more stress. The only harm I can see it doing is to performance.

And performance is good. Don't do flutter kids.

i for one would like to see these failures.... i have been around sau for quite a while now and i don't recall ever seeing 1 confirmed failure caused by a blocked bov.

also let's not forget R31 and Cefiro RB20 motors never had a bov from factory...

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving.

      What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.

      Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
