Default APS TTz VIDEO trying to get Blow off sound

All,

Me and my friend in his 05 G with E/I were messing around on some mountain roads. Our aim was to get the APS blowoff so people can see how loud it is. Its been misleading for some as to how loud it is. Its just about loud enough, maybe a lil bit louder would be good but at full boost its loud. So enjoy. I recommend using Headphones as some sounds aren't reproduced through normal speakers. Sorry for some wind noise, we were experimenting and will have better ones avail soon. Or maybe its just too fast hahahahha.

When I click on the link it says the page cannot be found. So I copied the link location and tried pasting it in the browser and same error, and then I added www and it still doesn't work. It could be cached on your browser so that is why it works for you.

Can anyone else try it and see if it works?

vids work fine for me. I like the nismo exhaust on the Z. The blow off valve is just a recurculating 'turkey' (gobble gobble) that I have heard before. You get a little bit of the open air "pshht" under high load.

The Defi gauges are too red for my taste and don't appear to match stock color as well as most would have you believe. I will get some pics- maybe some vids- of my stewart warner gauges that seem to better match the stockers.

Thanks zivman.

I tried with Internet Explorer instead of Mozilla Firefox and it worked. So any mozilla firefox users need to use IE in order for it to work. D'oh...

Odd, I get no sound, just video. I have media player 10. Do I need to update any of my codecs? Does this use DivX?

Is it just me or does these videos take a while to load? I'm currently on a T1 line & it seems to just sit there trying to connect.

I'm on Mozilla, no problems. Server is wierd, some were moving 300kpbs, others much slower.

The camera car + wind noise made it hard to hear, but nice car.

I have a question...

Is it possible to use another blowoff valve with the APS kit? Would that make it louder?

These videos were from a digital camera, i just wanted to share these with you guys. Im going to use my DVD camcorder next to see if the sound is any better. The APS blow off is pretty loud. Also if you aren't using Headphones or some really good speakers you can't really tell. I have polk audio at my desk right now and can't really tell. When I use the headphones and put on the "Wow effect" from Media Player. It sounds way better. But we'll see how the other camera works because like RAVI said the wind noise blows.

GTNPUZ: Try right clicking save as
We noticed the servers been hit a lot so that may be it as well.

Late.

That was a Maxima... It was pretty quick but I wasn't able to really get on it because it just rained slightly before we got there and it was still wet. I was losing traction all in 3rd.... So I had to shift to 3rd to go up the hill and couldn't stay in 2nd like my buddies G so it looks like the Maxima is almost eating me up. Kinda like we are doing a Touge ahahhahah
