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.

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
