Any technician/mechanic/engineer will have to undergo extensive training to work on the VR38DETT since it bears no resemblance to the RB from the ground up.

How difficult will it be for such an engineer/mechanic at our existing trusty workshops to get trained-up & feel competent to diagnose problems on the VR38DETT, let alone rectify issues and then service them?

Since so few mechanics at so few Nissan dealerships are being trained-up around the country now, how much in-demand would they be, if a few defected and went to a couple of our trusty workshops?

And even if a mechanic didn't leave his boss's dealership (despite even a personality clash), how tempting would it be for him/her to do after-hours work on a VR38DETT?

At what stage are we in with this game of 'chess' between Nissan Dealership CEOs and trusty workshop CEOs to obtain parts, tools, diagnostic equipment etc for the new 'beast'?

I've :worship::):) ed on too long already - I know. Tez

If it's of any help the service manual is available online now, but I guess the real issue would be experience on the ground. How many cars are coming into australia next year? It's only something like 200 or 300 right?

Diagnostics is a new ball game though isn't it?

And if I were a Nissan mechanic on 'not very high rates of pay' I'd be awfully tempted to do work on the side...

so long as I wasn't sick of seeing cars at the end of the day/week

Does not the COBB accessPORT read and clear DTC's?

      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.
