At what point did i remove anything? wastegate was already hooked up to exhaust manifold, just didn't have the nipple on the pipe from the cold side of turbo routed to the wastegate to add pressure to open it, meaning it was boosting uncontrollibly and fuel cutting/backfireing when it overboosted. Hence the need for the wastegate to be hooked up so it can releive pressure, yet i'm discussing ways to silcence the wastegate noise as it's obviously noticable as external atmo gates are. You can add your opinion about the car, not about people in the thread because who the f**k cares about that.

ok so you bought the car like this, weird....I take it you got it real cheap....

anyway you have enough brains to get this far..well done, now think for a minute, how does one normally silence an exhaust noise?

Do as the others say . Plumback then Put a high flow cat convertor on it, that will not only make it legal but quieten it down a lot as the coppers here WILL eventually get you (plus fine)and you will end up starting a thread saying " how do I get defect notice off my car"

indeed i did, 4k for r33 import with 80 thousand k's on the clock with every pannel straight, interior in perfect condition and a newly machined head because the stock turbo pop'd. It was sitting since 2007-2012 before previous owner worked on it again (still has 2007 rego sticker on windshield). I knew it'd be a project car and i'm slowly replacing all the parts, engine compression is spot on, no missing like some rb's, no turbo shaft play or signs of oil seeping in, only real issue is the ebay turbo (who knows how long she'll run for) which i'll replace when i get a chance. I'm obviously aware of a muffler baffle/silencer as i mentioned it before, but have no idea on what brands/products are good/effective, Or if anyone else has tryed to do it alternate ways which is why i'm asking opinions.

Yeah i'm aware the risk it runs against the popo's and in perth they're cracking down on modified cars hard. The abundant noise is why i created the post, but as i mentioned earlier i'll take it to the exhaust shop tomorro and get a quote and revisit my options.

Yep ok I see that would be crazy loud (can't get the link to work ) just go to decent exhaust shop if u want it legal otherwise if in Perth it's not an issue u could play with mufflers just for the gate I guess

I still dont get why your trying overcomplicate the issue by trying to add mufflers into ur screamer when sinple solution you want sound like befre plumb it into exhuast.

Also looks like there was a gasket on it at one point can u see anywhere that it may have been plumbed into before u got car. ?

No, from my understanding people usually weld a pipe up and route it back to exhaust. Very unclear on this gasket though, people also weld up pipes with silcencer in them and vent to atmo.

welding pipes and routing stuff to me is overcomplicating as i do not have my mig anymore, Saying that it's looking like the only legit solution, just searching through all avaliable options before i chop things up though.

Yeah there would have been a gasket on the wastegate outlet flange, you can see the leftover from the old one.

Not sure where you would get a new one from. Probably whoever makes the gate

so just to clarify, before your waste gate was connected car was quiet.

So previously it was running a shit load more boost. Why did you connect it? To make it run less boost for any reason?

Yeah it was overboosting, Too much air not enough fuel. stock fuel injectors couldn't keep up which caused a fuel cut at 7k rpm and backfiring/stuttering. While sounding like a rally car with antilag when it combusts in your exhaust manifold and spits flames, it's very bad econemy. Also very bad for the engine when it's boosting random psi.

It was quiet because what he means by "Connecting waste gate" is he put the pressure lines to it, now the waste gate opens to properly control boost, but it is venting to atmo as no one bothered to plumb it back.

My guess is that the guy bought all that stuff on ebay second hand, and the turbo was never plumbed back considering it was bought as a project after the car was purchased after it had been sitting for practically 5 years...

When this is done, they are called exhaust systems. Exhaust shops do this kinda work everyday!

Seriously dude, swallow your mentioned pride & take it to an exhaust shop & get them to plumb the wastegate pipe into your down pipe. While your there, have them install a cat converter & intermediate muffler to keep the busies & the neighbours happy!

yep kind of looks that way...guy buy stuff off ebay, realises it needs some major tuning and gives up on it...

please dont say its running a stock ecu....

this is more than likely your rev limiter, ooorrr does your ECU let it rev to 10,000RPM? That's why you have fuel cut.

    • Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R. 
    • Thanks. We getting some parts along too so he will be solving the speed issue like next week so i will let you know what he came up with.   
    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
