Hey relaks brah, my engine hasn't gone bang yet, however the motivation has.

 

You don't really have a lot more to do, do you

Just fire that puppy up and go for a cruise in the mountains or something

The sound of a RB, on boost, reverberating off walls should bring your boys back to the yard, if that doesn't stir the loins then all hope is lost.

Might do a track day next month, let's see if it goes bang then lol.

Because nothing breeds motivation more than breaking your car at the track.

For my sake, start slow

Only opened a bit currently so only minor LOLS, I tried it everywhere from 100% which brought all the bangs to the exhaust and PSSSHHH to the extreme, right down to closed with nil psshh's

Spring is wound down pretty tight, so only really vents at max boostage, under that its very minor dosage

LOLS are pretty good

Contemplating a catback or axle back.

Car sounds stock, except for turbo spooling and tyres slipping.

Conundrums:

1. Pre fab - Invidia? N2? R400?Cold start noise? 

2. Shop made - pretty much design what I want with the sound I want.

1. Pro: Would be cheap and I get to install, Con: get what I get given sound/drone wise

2. Con: Would be a bit more expensive vs the massed produced item, Pro: able to test what it sounds during the build, Con: I don't really get to install.

2. Found this axle back pic on the nets, will need to speak to my local exhaust shop, Pro: stock rear pipe and resonator, stock exhaust tips, Con: Cost???, not really any other cons that are blinding obvious.

Disclaimer: this is not a performance modification, pipe work can still be the same as now, just need to do something about the mufflers, I'm after just a little more sound.

I keep leaning towards shop built....like the pic

Hmmmmm

External gate, I can supply Turbosmart gate

LOL, yeah nah 

I had a "screamer" pipe on my 33, for about 3 days, till it got plumbed back in, it sounded like arse.

    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
    • lights are on just the one click.  
    • Absolutely matters because, while a temperature change will eventually reach a sensor at the end of a static line, the response time is far far far too slow to be useful. Might as well not have a temp gauge at all.
    • When I was eyeing off the 370GT (after deciding I didn't want to spend 30-40k+ to relive my early 20s in an R33) I thought it'd be a good project to add a turbo to it. Now that I have a 370GT, and I've had a couple of chances to open it up, I'm pretty stunned by how much power it makes 🫠 Honestly, the way the VVEL opens it up, it almost feels like there's a little turbo tucked away in there somewhere. It's like Nissan looked at VTEC and said "hold my beer" 😁 Has anyone thrown a turbo into their 370Z or 370GT? Is there a conservative boost level you can run without having to upgrade the fuel system, or are bigger injectors and a bigger pump a given?
