Hey Guys,

My name is Scott. I've just moved to Perth from New Zealand. Back home I was driving a Turbo Toyota MR2 and have definitely been bitten by the turbo+rear wheel drive bug. I was beginning get a bit of track time under my belt at home. Once I start working here I'm hoping to get another car to use on the track but this time I thought I'd go with something with the engine in the front. So I'll eventually be looking for an R32 gts-t or gts25-t as I've always liked them but never had one. ANyway I thought I'd introduce myself as I'll probably be lurking the forums for a while doing my research before buying one.

Cheers Guys.

Yes welcome Scott to the SAU Forums

Hope you get a neat clean low-Km well-serviced TLC'd undamaged R32 to your liking!!!

Do you drive like Andrew whatshisname that keeps winning Targa NZ?

Yeah If I could get a neat clean low-Km well-serviced TLC'd undamaged R32 I would be stoked. And reasonably un-modified would be nice too. I think it's going to be a long search.

Well like I said I was beggining to get a bit of track time under my belt but that all came to a rather abrupt halt. My skillls weren't anything flash, although I once got fastest MR2 at a street car day that the MR2 club went on :down: , I was just out there to have a good time and to learn. The last track day I did was in April this year. At the start of the day my car looked like this:

But by the end of the day it looked like this:

Oh well, I'll try not to emulate that on a future warm-up lap. :blink:

Great footage tho'

What camera setup are you using?

It wasn't a warm-up lap. On those days you do one warm-up lap early in the morning and then each time you do a run you're free to go full tilt from the blocks. That was late in the day and I'd already had plenty of uneventful outings. It doesn't look fast in the video but I was doing 100-110ish when I went off.

The camera is just my we Canon handheld it was gaffa taped down to the centre console between the seats.

      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?
