stick some pods on, and a bit more boost and then you'll hear em :rolleyes:

The airbox makes it all quiet indeed

some gtrs with the 2530's ive seen/been in can get the BOV's going off in sequence. Seen it on stock turbo'd gtrs too. Its really quite interesting and funny to hear , hard to describe.... all the while you get the benefits of the best BOV's you could b using.

mine has pods and stock boost (and 1 bar), its a really short and fast release, like a PSSHOW, annoying when u are on the freeway and going up an incline and it keeps bouncing on the BOVS...hehe but yeah, pods should make it louder

lol, need a "describe your BOV's noise with letters" thread :P

My bov are plumb back and they sound like "pooooofr" lol,

something like that, but it not loud or anything. So I am very happy with the stock bov.

I've know ppls with skylines and other turbo car using their bov to intimidate other cars, as "I have a turbo" lol

Damn, I hate the high ptich noise of some of the aftermarket ones makes.

I couldn't hear any induction noise on my 34 GTR until i removed the factory wheel arch intake plug (airbox is plumbed into the wheel arch and front bar on 33s and 34s - not sure about that on 32s - they plug the wheel arch hole from the factory for noise emission purposes).

After I removed it i could hear a lot of induction noise and quite a loud noise from the blow off valves. When driving up hill on boost if you back off the throttle a little bit but not all the way you will hear the valves firing seperately.

I describe it as a "choofle", if that makes sense.

I could drive around choofleing all day, and it does sound pretty good on the right revs when goin up a hill and accelerating a bit then backing off(choofle-oofle-oofle), but it gets pretty annoying if you're trying to maintain a certain speed. Oh, the prices we pay to drive supercars.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
