i mean umm don't get me wrong guys.. skylines are great.. but why did they change touring cars from turbos to v8's????

yeah thats right

*dons flame suit and runs out* muahah

Lol..dont think your flame suit can protect you from shotgun pellets!

They changed touring cars from turbos to v8s so the v8s can start having a chance at winning!:P

Makes me wonder though if a NSX-R can beat those v8 touring cars..

I owned a V8 Commodore.

Cost me close to 5k in repair bills within 9months of owning it.

First.. Subframe cracked where the diff mounts up (IRS)

Second.. Gearbox bearings died

Third.. LSD Diff openwheeling and grinding really bad.

So my nice 'solid' lol commodore was not so solid after all, for a daily cruiser yes maybe, if I could put up with the rattles. But as a car that will handle a bit of a hammering, no. >_<

I freaked the first time I jacked the commodore up, opened the drivers door to grab the phone went to close the door and noticed my nice 'solid' commodore's door wouldn't close as the whole body twists when the car is jacked up. It was literally a good 5cm's out. :S

Talk about a solid chassis. No wonder those things split in 2 in high speed accident. :P

I've owned one so I can pay out on them. :)

Touring cars where changed for all the Ford and Holden fans to have a sport where drinking and lack of intelligence is encouraged over a very long day, which BTW finished quicker when the skylines where racing :laugh: .

If Holden and Ford aren't so scared why did they knock back Toyota from entering the V8 supercars?

Because they know even a fridge on wheels will kick their ARSSSSSS!

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
