The apexi's aren't as loud as some of the other brands. Everyone has them, so i'd assume they're the most popular choice. I have a DRIFT filter on mine, it flows at pretty much the same rate as the apexi's and is quite a bit louder (main reason i got it was coz its a tight blue colour, goes with intercooler joints and my yellow paint) Apexi ones would probably filter dust and crap better though.. Still $30 for a DRIFT one $150 for a apexi one.. and your probably gona lose power over stock box, idk just some stuff to consider

Flutter sounds good on some cars not all... some cars sound absolutly f*king annoying! My friends s15 has a big ass apexi gtr intercooler i cant remember how thick the core is but i think its like 110mm? correct me if i'm wrong bout the cooler but it sounds awesome.

The quick flutter noise (like alot of skylines i've heard) and a few s15's s14's i've heard and 180's sound SHIT with the quickets tutututut you'll ever hear and then a pop after the gear change lol cos of the added richness which makes u just wana kick the owner in the teeth... besides they wanted to attention didn't they?

But flutter on standard skyline ceramic turbo = no go zone unless your looking for an excuse for a bigger turbo. :(

Then why didn't mine come with one from factory? (hr31 coupe)

1989 cefiro RB20DET NO BOV

1989 R32 skyline RB20DET HAS BOV

WHY OH WHY?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Because the cefiro uses the redtop motor with a different rocker cover, and back then they didn't come with a bov from factory.

BOV, from the factory, is only there to keep the emissions gods happy

Cefiro, as pointed out, started production earlier than R32, so different emissions rules when it was designed

That's also why the Ceffy RB20 has bigger cams than the R32 RB20

For maximum 'dose' noise, use a hardpipe between the inducer and the afm, also, the bigger the cooler, the louder it will be

Apexi pods can be bought for $98 delivered from CJ Motor (a nissansilvia.com sponsor), straight bolt on for RB20/25 and Z32 AFM.

I have seen an independant review between apexi, blitz sus, hks mushroom and K&N - apexi had best flow and much better filtering than the others. Well worth the money

Yeah Ive read that review aswell and i think it was covered on ns.com too im also a memember on ns.com ATTN gettin the filter off CJ

Heres a pod filter test if it helps anyone. i dont know if you have already seen this.

i also had the same problem with some one telling me the wastegate makes a fluttering noise. it was like talking to a god dam retard.

Tom9999, that's the one, I expecially like it because it doesnt appear to have any affiliation with a particular manufacturer (or advertiser), and they test REAL power gains, as well as filtration.

Nor sure about centre lines, but bigger lift and longer duration. I saw it on a japanese website that had a comparison of nissan engines' cams over several models...

The ceffy runs bigger cams?? >_<

Just different centerlines or increased duration/lift also?

Redtop cam profiling is a bit more aggressive than silvertop. Slightly more duration and lift i think(not sure if it's exhaust side only *shrugs*). The figures are somewhere here on the forums in a thread, just can't remember how old :laugh:

aaanyway. If you want a decent fix, give me your BOV flange, i'll butcher the shit out of it with a welder, and charge you an arm and a leg for it >_< no need to worry about aluminium can bits if you are really that concerned.

Seriously. Just go to an exhaust shop, tell them you want them removed, and sell the thing/things.

I have on hand the redtop cam specs but aren't the Ceffy's silver tops?

R31's were redtops? >_<

yup, import 31's were redtops. Cefiro's are silver tops.

The red top came in two versions, NICS and later model ECCS.

This is where its interetsing, the cefiros were infact redtops with a silver coloured top. The internals, turbo, ecu are all redtop ECCS spec.

    • I know why it happened and I’m embarrassed to say but I was testing the polarity of one of the led bulb to see which side was positive with a 12v battery and that’s when it decided to fry hoping I didn’t damage anything else
    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
