Variable silencing system I think it stands for.

It's a system to restrict the amount of air through the exhaust to quieten the car for silent mode. Might want to check if the valve is actually stuck or not as due to being in the exhaust they tend to get stuck in one position a lot.

Since my exhaust is still looked as something stock (I'm not sure about this actually), I'm going to test it soon (I've done it before but I didn't realize somethin' different).. By the way, is it a standard feature for this type of skyline? Thanks! :)

I think you're right, NJR 34GTT.. So it should give a significant change to the sound?? :( One member of skylineowners.com in UK also said that it is common for this optional system to be got stuck.. I will investigate this as soon as possible.. :)

m-p,

I have a 98 R34 GT-T semi-auto too & mine that switch!

If you switch from Silent to Sports mode, there is a noticeable difference. The exhaust note adopts a growl to it - not as loud though as a cannon type exhaust you see on many Skylines & Rex's.

You can tell the difference just parking & switching between the two, but more so when you "load the car up" driving up a hill, then swtch to sports mode.

My girl gets scared when I boot it up a hill (she's not really a car person, unfortunately!), but relaxes a bit when you switch it to silent.

If you check the exhaust just under the rear bumper, you will most likely see two pipes of different diameters feeding the exhaust itself. There must be a valve that the switches controls to toggle between the two.

Mine is a Nismo exhaust (brand stamped on the underside of the exhaust), so I'm thinking it may well have been a factory option.

Wow.. Great, Mean_R34! Seems that it really works in your skyline, so I think I must check my system and have a test soon.. :P I can't perform the check right now because it's already late nite, and seems that it's so dark outside (everybody knows that.. :P ).. Thanks! :(

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
