Well..... my GT-R goes to its new home today at about 4.30pm . :D

Its hard to deal with after owning it nearly 6 years, but I'm selling it for the right reasons.... i'll have another GT-R in a few years time.

Who else has sold their GT-R..... ? Was is difficult to watch it drive away. Im dreading that. :wave:

I'll still be on here of course! Met too many good people to leave! :wave:

Heres some final pix of her.

Hey Rod,

Never met you but am in love with your car.

Your GTR is a credit to r32 gtr's.

I'm a big fan of it and have saved pictures that you have posted in the past.

I still can't believe that i read somewhere that you never "tracked" it.

goodluck with your next one, if it turns out anything like the one above pm me when you want to sell. :D.

Shes gone now too..... I didnt watch her drive away, couldnt do it. The proud new owner is on here, no doubt he will say hi if he wants to. :wave:

Aw - it is a sad day when that happens.

I'm man enough to admit I was a bit choked up when the purple fella drove off into the sunset.

But I'm sure the new toy will bring you hours of fun :D

Rod,

Sold mine some months ago when I moved down to Melb.

Was difficult, but as long as you can justify to yourself why you've sold it then you can live with it :)

Though more difficult when the new owner destroyed it :rofl:

Markk: Congrats, good buying!

Markk will look after her I have no doubt. :) Im sure he has plans to develop her further.

Dave, yeah I know mate was still hard to see her go, right reasons or not! Was even harder pulling the Fangartist sticker off it. :rofl: Give me a few months & hopefully i'll have a new toy to put a sticker on!

James, I must admit I was more emotional after she'd gone than I thought I would be, just felt empty.... :P

Anyway I went out with freinds last night and drowned my sorrows..... Just got up! :)

Rick, yeah I'm feeling a bit better about it now... no doubt the next track day I go to watch i'll wish I still had her......

Cant imagine how you felt after what happened to your old one. :sick:

Definately a sad day, when your pride and joy goes. Can't quite relate to 6 years but certainly after a couple, I was attached. Helps in some ways seeing it but in others, it doesnt.

I am sure you will enjoy the new toy though, especially in your neck of the woods with some twisties :P

Will we see you again in Melbourne anytime soon?

the question is, would anyone here give up their bf/gf to keep their car?

Edit - but i dread the day i have to decide to sell my skyline. I wouldnt want to see people come and thrash my car after I have babied it and put all the mods etc....

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.

      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?

      What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
