Hey guys,

Am going to be getting my partner to do the minor service on my 34 however was just wondering if you guys had any hints/tips before he starts it. He's done plenty of services before on his own cars and when he was working at my mechanics place, so he knows what he is doing but has never specifically done a Skyline before.

I'll be getting my tip trans serviced by an actual shop as it's time for that to be done as well. Timing belt doesn't have to be done for about 60,000kms.

Any help is appreciated

Cheers

Chanz

Hahahaha lol pats best post for the year to date!

But yes it's no harder then servicing another car. Sparkies will be fun because everything is in the way. Just remember where the hoses go and you will be fine

Just be careful when you replace the plugs to make sure dont knock any shit down into the cyl. Dirt and debris still gets passed the cover and lays around in the valley, only to disloge wen u take the plugs out. Nothing worse than getting a miss after u change the plugs :(

Wasn't super hard, but yet still took over an hour with the use of a guide from the DIY section, which was very helpful.

Turns out the plugs didn't need changing, the platinum plugs it's running at the moment were still really clean (well for plugs) and the oil wasn't black, was still a healthy colour.

However tip trans fluid looks over filled, I'm going to have to get it looked at.

      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.
