Just got my 32 back from the paint shop and the steering feels heavier to drive now now, quite a bit heavier, anything over 10 it's pretty noticably heavy.. it's like heavier than my other cars with no power steering, dry turning it it's fine which is odd, feels pretty light, the power steering fluid level is perfect and theres no warning lights.. also none of my belts have broken.. Could this be a HICAS thing? hope not, hate that crap

Quick question, is your speedo still working? I had a prob with my speedo cable and this affected the power steering due to the HICAS system. It would work fine on start up but once I drive it and get to 60kph it would switch the power steering off and would stay that way till I turned it off and restarted. Once I changed my speedo cable, all was fine again.

Oh Yeh thats exactly the problem i had with my old car actually, um my speedo works fine, the odd thing is it doesnt fix after i restart it like it used to (old thing used to screw up every few mins, used to off and on it to fix as well).. also if i drive it for a while and then dry turn it it will be the same as if i just turned it on so it can't be the speedo/80kph thing.. got me very confused, cheers dude, anyone else got something to try?

Yo so getting the car back from the panel shop tomorrow.. can anyone else suggest anything? I don't want to take it to a mechanic for this sort of problem because they'll probably have no idea (have had mates with hicas problems that have replaced heaps of crap and not yet fixed it)

Is it likely that it's HICAS? don't know if they had this problem on gtr's.. hope it isn't because i guess it could be any number of connections thats died.. Just doesn't make sense the way it seems light enough dry turning but at speed it's heavy.. is there some part of the ECU that could be screwing up?

      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.
