hey how you all doin? :)

I just bought a 1997 GTST skyline form Japan and it’s still on its way to Australia.

On the specs it says it has a Nismo Gearbox. Can some one please tell me the different form a shock gearbox and a Nismo gearbox? And its advantages and disadvantages.

You’re all going to laugh but I love the noise of charged air when changing gears... I’m a big fan of the “floder” noise. I don’t know how to get it? Is it a BOV, and if is what type? Or is it an Air filter?

The only modifications its got is an Apexi Exhaust and the Nismo gearbox.

Oh yea… can someone tell me what cheapest way to get my car running quicker than standard?? I’m aiming mid to high 13’s?.. nothing too extream as I have to drive it to Uni every day. :flamed:

Thankz guyz :kick:

The noise as the throttle is shut is from the pressure inside your pipes being greater than that outside and it can't go thru the throttle body anymore, so it goes back through the turbo blades... OR the vacuum lines assists the BOV to open up and vent the gas back into the atmosphere.

So if you use a BOV obviously its louder as more air escapes more quickly and you can make it do all sorts of crazy noises BUT...

I think you are after the awesome sound of no blow me valve, just the air chopping back through the blades. The answer to this is, POD filter, you will hear it better, also get rid of AFM's to hear it even better... although that requires the use of after market ECU, which would be an interesting thing to purchase just to hear the chopping air noise...

So ignore all above crap... get pod filter. don't get BOV

Air Flow Meter. On my GT4, once the AFM came off when the Microtech went in, it sounded amazing. One of the loudest flutters I have heard yet...

As for the pod, just get a cheapie, you are only after the noise, so you'll luv it.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
