Hey all.

i know i prolly sound dumb but i love the sound of my mates R30 skyline with an R32 engine, turbo and HKS front mount cooler. One of my friends claims that by puting a pod filter on my 5 SPD MANUAL 1989 R31 GX it will make a similar sound when i change gears or let my foot off the acelerator. I think this sounds like a load of crap but i could indeeed be wrong. Can anyone please help me and tell me if by doing this or something else will get a similar sound happening when i change gears at high revs. Thanks in advance ppl.

the sound you speak of is the turbo induction noise with a pod most likely.

and thats only cause its turbo.

You car = non turbo i assume = wont do it

cheers man. yeh its non-turbo. thanx for the help. unless theres anyone else who knows someway of doing it

Buy one one of those Naturally Aspirated blowoff valves. They consist of a speaker which sits in the engine bay and is hooked up to the clutch so when you change gears it makes a whooshing noise out of the speaker. I can't believe there is actually market competition for these things. Just beware if someone found out you had one hooked up you will probably get a quick knee in the nuts.

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
