Hi, i just bolted on an FMIC onto my R33 today, it is the 600x300x76 cheapo that many people have bought. I went for a spin with a friend and we noticed there was no flutter sound. I'm running about 12 pounds boost and using the stock BOV, can someone please advise me why there is no flutter sound? (Others using this cheapo FMIC have flutter so i don't think it's the cooler's fault)

Thanks!

Also your stock BOV should handle that so you shouldn't actually get flutter.

If you just want the whipple sound you need a pod filter or no filter. If you want more of it some people say using a metal (i.e. stainless) intake pipe gets more sound too.

Thats a pretty cool set up. I want that cool pod filter sound but am scared of the whole sucks more hot air than cold. Having a heat shield is this the answer? Are the any problems that may arise from having a pod filter and then installing a 3inch exhaust?? My car is stock engine wise. Just want the roar of the exhaust and the cool sound of the Pod

just remember... although flutter may be fullleeee siiik yuleh, its also bad for your turbo...

give me no flutter any day!

I don't see how a having an airbox is different to a POD with flutter. You may hear it more with a POD but because you can't hear it doesn't mean its not there.

If i change gears between 1000-3000rpm is hear no BOV just flutter, how can i stop it fluttering? By putting the stock air box surely doesn't mean it wont flutter.

When i installed my FMIC the BOV noise changed(became more echoy and louder).

its just a box around the pod, with a cold air feed going into it. its a good method of keeping hot air out. there is a big thread on CAIs somehere around here?

cold air box?? Whats that?? Which is better to make sure the car sucks cold not hot air.

FFS! Not another "i want sick flutter" thread!

I wish my skline dished out hectict "doeses" of flutter!

:lol:

Yeah i think i got Stooged when i bought my car as it came with no flutter :P

I dont get what all these guys want/like this sound honestly.

Get a aftermarket BOV and tighten the spring all the way you will get a sound pretty close to the "FLUTTER" you want and wont have the detrementle effects on your turbo in the process.

Cheers B

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
