you are all neglecting a few important things from the usual petrol and oils ... ;)

insurance

registration

brake pads

tyres

my running cost works out to be about $1000 NETT a month.

this comprises of a $33.5k car lease + budgeted $5k a year worth of running costs (all aforementioned ie. insurance, servicing etc)

my car has ~200rwkw and averages 13L per 100km

Well true, in that case mine is also $1000/mth (just think, I used to tell my gf on a regular basis that she cost too much to maintain... compared to a skyline I could have 4 gf's now).

But would one of them put that same silly grin on your face? ;)

Hey, it is a myth about the 25 thing, the insurance doesn't drop just overnight. Always do a bit of looking around for the insurance as there is big $$ differences.

$1000 a month is probably pretty fair though, I would be in the vacinity of $1500 a month, but that is due to a hefty loan, but that will end this year.

i spend around 40-50 bucks a week on fuel going to Uni, out with mates, cruising etc..

servicing once every 4-6 weeks (depending on how much i drive) which is under 100 for a regular (oil+oil filter and sometimes top up someother fluids) and around 300 with brake pads, sparks, etc etc..

insurance is 3600 a year but i dont owe anything on the car so thats around 600 bucks including insurance a month

oh yeah but thats without mods :D

      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?
