Its a hit and miss affair. sometimes the paint cracks regardless of what precautions are taken. Its the risk you take.

Doin mine on the weekend, Will be interesting to see if i can gitterdone without busting the paint.

in my experience (got all 4 done on my R32), from what i have ben told by the guy who did mine, the paint should never crack if someone good is doing it

if you are FLARING the guards then its another story, but simply rolling should be fine if the paint is heated and a good technique is used..

what i was going to say, if you dont want it cracked then ask him before.

mine cracked when we did it, but then again we did flare them a bit and didnt heat them, but gettin a resray so wasnt worried.

Spoke to kevin on the phone and he said he heat the paint up and roll them several times starting with a smaller angle working the lip back. Shouldn't damage the paint but depends on the condition and how old the paint is.

Seems like a pretty cool guy. $130 for him to come to brissie and could be cheaper if I go to him down the coast.

    • 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.
    • 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?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • 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.
