mate I highly suggest getting grounding wires that ground the throttle bodies & engine block to the chassis.

Made a noticeable difference to the shifting feel of my 5AT no joke, a lot of the myg37.com guys have done it to their 5at :yes:

on point 2 you brought up I only get rev hang in DS mode when I floor it from a standing start, manual mode it's not an issue

thanks, I might give it a go. Did you fit them yourself? Where can you buy the kit?

I would go manual box over auto.

Its a sports car and although these new autos are great and fun to play with, you dont see v8 drivers using auto's...

Once I got used to driving manual again, meaning overcoming the laziness, its a breeze and lots of fun..

its odd, when new auto costs more, however due to demand and supply manual in cases costs more second hand.

I struggled to find a manual v36 let alone not in white.

They were all auto's and when a manual came up it went for a heap more.

BTW I will be selling my 08 sports coupe manual. Even more rare given its blue.

Nope, when you buy a new car autos ALWAYS cost more.

Well this is not the case in japan guys, im not sure about regular cars, but if you check the Model cataloges data that some auction or other sites have, the manuals for v35's and v36's were more expensive when bought new. Hence im guessing lesser ppl buy manuals as they are the more expensive option. And so more rare to find.

Hell Yeah, finding a manual v36 is like pulling teeth!

When I was searching, over say 2 months there were 10+ autos each week. I only saw maybe 5 or so manuals go through in total and they were fetching a heap more than auto.

Good old demand and supply.

I gave up on auctions and sourced it elsewhere.

only reason I sourced one from Japan was there was only 1 manual S in Melbourne for sale and was white.

Hopefully this will mean will make it easier to sell mine in the coming months.

Mine is blue which is popular on v35's but extremely rare for a v36.

      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?
