Hi fellas,

I've given it some thought and I've decided to remove my GTR badges to go for the clean look.

Do you guys know how to do this safely without leaving any scratches? Although I know there aren't any screws, the badge is pretty well stuck on with the strong 3M tape as it's an original GTR badge?

Cheers.

Kev

I have removed a few GTR badges over ther years and I use the fishing line method.

It is important to start the line between the adhesive and the badge and work it back and forth in a cutting action. The trick is to leave the adhesive strip on the panel and not mark the paint. When the badge is off then soften up the adhesive with something like prepsol and slowly peel it off.

Good luck and if you take your time you can get them off with no paint damage.

I Used the old hair dryer, No fishing line just got something under it. Use a rag to protect the paint if its a damaging object the as you still circulate the heat around the badge area pell back the badge. Then used eucalyptus oil to help get off the glue.

      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?
