Fuel leak? Slurping noise?

I notice this weird slurping noise coming from both sides of my front fenders, the noise goes away when I give it gas, fuel leak? pressure leak of some sort?

AIV's. Search twinturbo.net on how to eliminate them (they're useless).

Must I repeat myself? They're useless. Eliminate them and your problem will go away.

I just wanted to make sure that what you were saying was that they are not needed, and not something else. (Yes, I'm kidding)

Why does it matter considering that they're useless?

This should be fun....call it a homework assignment.

Since you have a N/A, look under the hood and see if you can find the AIVs. If they're there, then you're little fact booster was wrong. If they're gone, then Fact Booster is right. Report back with your results.

It'll be somewhat similar to finding out if the male dog going after your b*tch is neutered or not.

Don't question my intelligence.

And wtf kind of website is that? Looks like a freshman computer science undergrad made it as an in-class assignment one afternoon.

Don't use google to find info on these cars... there is only one source you need... TwinTurbo.NET.

http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300z...aivrepair.html

Nowhere in that writeup does it say TT only... that's because ALL Z32's had them up to 93 when they were removed.

A post by Russel (owner of Z1 Motorsports) about the differences and similarities between the TT and NA Z32's...

ELECTRICAL
5. MAF, PTU, TPS, IAA, AIV, EGR, O2 sensors, Detonation sensor, Coolant temperature sensor are all the same.
