skyline engine bays and boots are poorly finished compared to other makers of cars it is usually base coat or black, most white r33 don't even have color in boots, this was done to save money for Nissan, funny thing i have seen magna's and commy's with complete paint coverage in engine bays

KN6 - Dark Grey Pearl...

But just don't add the 'Pearl' so it's dull... Haha!

I have the same colour in my bay (car is KR4). I had to touch some areas up around the cowl area and couldn't find anywhere that suggested what colour is was.

I ended up trying a few mixes, the closest one I could get was a light grey from dupli color mixed with a small amount of "duck egg blue" model paint. Actually came up spot on after a few goes at getting the ratio!

I look forward to the day when I can remove the engine and strip everything and get a nice coat of KR4 gloss in the engine bay mm mmm.

      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?
