Howdy,

I recently installed a bov on the skyline and now I can hear a 'sucking' noise when accelerating. Its a bit weird - it basically sounds like the car is leaking air while its trying to suck it into the engine. I got an exhaust and pod filter installed at the same time and I have to say the performance of the car has barely changed. The power delivery is smoother now, but there is no noticable change in the amount of grunt. Not the result I was hoping from from those mods. I initially though the sound was from the pod filter but its quite strange not to get any power hikes, plus its very easy to hear from inside the car.

Is it possible the bov was installed incorrectly? The guy who did it was definately not a skyline specialist (long story) and I have a feeling he really didnt know what he was doing...

Regards,

Steve

the sound you hear is probably from the Pod filter, its much louder than the factory airbox.

The standard BOV's had a sucking whistle while the car was on boost, but that was just the way it was designed.

The sucking noise is your POD filter... All PODS suck air under throttle

its actually just the sucking sound of the turbo...

but now that you have removed the airbox (replaced it with a pod) there is no baffling of the sound, and thus it is easier to hear the sucking sound

:P

      You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there

      A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not

      GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣

      Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version.
