what car/engine are you talking about? i had a friend with an rb30 vl commo and it basically vibrated a shit load when it got over about 80km/h and it was in high gear and running at about 2000rpm so he would have to run it it in power to kick the revs upto 3000 so it didnt make the noise. i believe the noise is purely ****ed exhaust. he insists on running it at 3000 (in power mode) all the time vs getting it checked/fixed

Get another resonator fitted to your exhaust, and it should solve the problem.

When my car was NA, I had two resonators and the rear muffler, it may sound like overkill, but the car sounded bloody smooth. When the extractors where fitted, it did sound a little "throatier", but you'd have to know the car pretty well to tell any difference.

It's been a while since I've bought a resonator, but I'd be very surprised if it cost more than $200. As for fitting, they just cut out a section of your exhaust pipe and weld the resonator in place.

After listening to that attached flie, it sounds like a secondary vibration of some sort, and not the exhaust note. I'd have a good listen to find out where the noise is coming from, it maybe as easy as the exhaust bolts needing a tighten.

i recently had to have my resonator changed to get a sticker off - went from 3" hotdog to 2.5", large barrel muffler (stuck in the middle of the 3" piping) and it has a simmilar sound - just over 2750 rpm, it howls so sharply and for sucjh a short time, that i too thought it was a rattle, but when held on the revs, it still makes the noise - it rally pisses me off too... not that it wasn't loud before ;) but at least it was constant... will change it all later, but thats another story (and thread)

good luck with getting rid of that noise mate, coz your right, its nasty !!

:cheers:

My exhaust history - standard exhaust had the very noise you are speaking of noise at 2800-3100rpm, but being stock was fairly quiet, then fitted rice cannon, which acted like a huge amplifier and the noise was massively loud , eventually i was pulled over and defected, went to the exhaust shop had a 2.5inch sytem fitted with the largest resonator they could fit, but keptthe cannon muffler, i now get a slightly hollow pipe noise but still sounds decent, the snappy high noise is there but much more muffled and contributes alot to the pipe noise. Personly, it scares ppl cause they think you have some crazy mods or something ???? but yeah, basicly...

Moral of the story - i think its something to do with the cams as mentioned above cause i cant get rid of it, muffle it as much as you can and live with it...sorry buddy

dude its called resnonance sp* all na rb25 have it as mentioned about its due to the degree of overlap in the cams, u cant get rid of it, only way i got my car to sound better was hollow cat and 2.5" straight through to a cannon, my exaust is still stting at home if u want it including a set of headers. Its very very hard to get rid of the noise without the car being loud, i tryed different exhaust shops and only fixed it when i started working at a performance shop.

Ok, found last night there was a rust hole in the joining weld between the pipe and rear muffler. The noise is really loud when the exhaust is cold, but slightly got quieter when hot.

Trying to find a s/s muffler or cat back system 2.5".

If anyone has or can get it. let me know.

a while ago, i had an exhuast system on the NA motor before i swapped over... 2.5 inch system.. the resenator/muffler had a lose baffle inside... it was making the noise at certain rpm's

maybe swap the resonator.. they dont cost much at all. cheap as chips in comparison to fitting new system.

    • I am getting the same issue. Did you resolve it? I just got it after installing my new super coppermix and literally the same issue, new fork, new 18mm carrier, release bearing that came with the kit and replicated the exact same sound. 
    • If you like - I have the STL files so I can email em. There's a couple of gotchas (i.e the holes are not threaded so you might need/will need) to utilize some M3 melt-in threads for some of the points. However if you want to be super accurate, and are willing to remove your calipers and your SHOCKS it's a really good tool. You also might need to scale the part that measures the tyre width a bit wider. It defaults to a 7.5in tyre and I mean who is running that. Luckily with the magic of CAD this is very easy to rescale.
    • jeebus. glad you weren't under it while performing the stunt. Also thanks for the link to the wheel measurer, exactly what I needed
    • In the older stuff there were very significant differences 2wd to 4wd, for example Stagea had strut front end for 2wd and double wishbone for 4wd so it was not minor to swap. From poking around the 2wd v37, it *looks* like it might be more possible; some of the parts specifically have "2wd" stamped on them which suggests the platforms are more similar. You'd still want to start with a 4wd half cut to swap stuff from though. I'd suggest if you don't have a tune on the ECU you don't really need one on the trans either. Throttle mapping is in the ECU side (and you can always use a Roar Pedal if you want the throttle to actually respond to your foot), and really if you are happy with the stock power you probably accept the stock trans behaviour too....its all made to be "sporty" not racey.
    • So, updates. I have not washed the car since it came back from Tassie. I've driven it around a bit but not got around to actually sorting it out. I DID raise it because I cracked the rear bar leaving a hotel which was very distressing. Interestingly, the car drives more compliant now that it's raised a fair bit (5mm front, 15mm rear). Also noticed that my FR height was 10mm lower than FL. So that's now sorted out, too. I also bought this and had it printed: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1576422240/wheel-and-tire-fitment-tool-universal?ref=shop_home_feat_1&dd=1&logging_key=08f604d9fa4cc383550ba985e6ac85cd5cac7fbb%3A1576422240 Now, if I was smart I would have taken my brake calipers off to actually use this correctly but it was evident enough to me that in the region where the caliper was... there was nothing to hit suspension/guard/arm wise. So I'm going with "it'll be fine" after using the tool to hopefully very precisely measure the wheel clearance. Also while doing this, I had the very VERY bad idea of jacking one of the wheels/suspension arms up while the rest of the car was on jack stands. I did this to see how the arm would travel. This all was well and good until the car slid off the stands and went through a fence. So don't do that. Incredibly nobody was hurt and there was only minor damage to the rear bumper as the car didn't have far to slide, and had 3-4 wheels on it. The only damage turned out to be the fence itself which was easy to fix, and a little bit of damage to the fibreglass rear bumper trim. I had already planned to try a touch up paint kit to fix the time I drove into my garage door to see if it'd help in the interim before I get it fixed properly. I used the Dr Colorchip kit after looking online and seeing everyone talking about it. Yes it's made for chips and not huge broken missing pieces and I'll be 500% recommending it for stone chips after using it for stupid things like me. This took about ... 10 minutes and looking at the half assed photo the 30 second job I did on the bumper corner was almost perfect just by using the tiny little brush and painting it in. The sealact stuff to remove over-painting is really useful, so if/when I do it again I'll likely slather the touch up paint well over it and then clean it up with the cleaning solution. The wheels should arrive in a couple of weeks. I am still kinda confident after doing a stupid amount of measuring (and borrowing a set of 18x10.5+15) that they will not fit because I overlooked something, somehow and flew too close to the sun. ALSO R34 GTR guard liners do not fit on a GTT. I bought the undertray brake duct guides and had the wonderful problem of them not fitting my intake, my oil cooler and the liners themselves were even worse. Attempting to fit them won't work in general - You would have to cut them up as another poster mentioned as the bodywork is different on the GTT. At least I can try to resell them. So instead of cutting those up, I cut up my old already-cut-up GTT liners and extended them by using some PP plastic and drilling some 8mm holes for some nissan clips for the 'extra' bit. Because I was happy to cut them I was able to mount them pretty damn forward so I now have some semblance of guard liners, and the brake vents seal the bumper from the bottom. It sort-of-looks like this, to give some idea - If you look at the GTR and then the GTT this is when I realised that I needed to seriously measure as the inside of the rim area is entirely, entirely, entirely different and could not take any internet measurements for granted.
