no worries for the lend of the power tools guys - I wish I didn't already have plans, I would have stayed to help you. Missed Darren too - what a bummer .... I must have left too early. Ah well next time!

Yeh i think i just missed you too, should have got off ma ass earlier and come around! The whole Barbie and work on car thing sounds like a good idea, will have to pick a nice day and not toooooooo freakin hot either, otherwise it will turn into a drink beer and sit on our ass day......... which i'm not saying is a baaaad idea :(:D

lol .... I am sure that is what the day would turn into anyhow .... maybe pick a 35 degree day, we can start at 9am, mod until 12pm, jump into the spa/drink beer/eat barbie/play darts & pool until 4pm when it cools down a little, then back into some more modding until 7pm, then repeat step 2 :D

My latest pet project (apart from my 'leatherette' seats) is to put some 10mm chipboard on the drivers side 'wall' of the boot (behind the lining) in order to mount a fire extinguisher, some spare fuel, spare water and tools. Not a big job, but would require removing the boot skins, measuring up, cutting the chipboard to shape, securing/deadening the chipboard and restoring the boot lining. It is the sort of job we could do to 6-10 Skylines at once if anyone else was interested.

great in theory but as well all know in practice unexpected sh!t happens and it takes way longer then expected. you know that bolt we tried to get off andrew? well we ended up screwing it up again - thank gosh we later had access to vice grips.

DOH! ... I was going to ask you how it went.

And yes, as we have discovered many times it always takes much longer to do than you think - but once we got a template done it would be dead easy to do more.

So, is anyone up for this project, or have another one in mind? I might just organise a day in a few weeks time - I'm thinking maybe 14th October? (Week after dyno day). I would prefer to do it before I head to Singapore .... but could wait until I got back.

      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.
