hey guys just after some opinions.. recently blown my turbos gna get that fixed soon but was going to do quite a few things as well in the process. basically atm its got catback exhaust, hiflow cat, os giken twin plate, air filter, suspension & mines ecu. i was gna get injectors/afm/fuel pump/pfc/dumps/cams and suspension/brake work as well in the process of replacing the turbos (hks 2530s/hi flow/gt-ss)... but that will cost me quite abit especially labour work! so came to my mind maybe i shoudl jus fix the turbos (replace with stockies or a cheap alternative) and then sell my car get a R33 gtr?

your thoughts?. the only reason why i hessitate is i've put alot of effort into fixing up the 32 and maintaining it and i dont really wana have to start modding again from a stocker and the fact that 32 GTR's arnt worth that much anymore. ill be pulling out a small loan regardless of whether i build the 32 or get a 33. i mean theres nothing wrong with my 32 other then obviously the blown turbos.. its pretty much given me a hassle free experience owning it. also for those who have taken the step to a 33 is there much differnce for the price? (from prices r32 gtr's are selling ill probaly have to add about 8k)

so help me decide!

My personal choice would be to keep the R32 - you know the history of the car and exactly what's wrong with it. Buying a new car might bring on a new set of problems. Modifying the R33 isn't going to be any cheaper than modifying the R32. And as far as your R32 not being worth much anymore, at least it doesn't have too far left to fall, whereas the R33 will likely depreciate another $10,000 or so over the next few years...

Of course the third alternative is to fix your R32 up and buy an already modified R32 - with the mods already done you're definitely going to save on labour!

      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.
