Ha ha ha ha - and read the letter by 'Mike' on page 28. - It's short so I'll type in in

"GT-RS SUCK

I was recently reading the Dec-Jan 2003 isuee which I found lying around and something was brought to my attention. In 'Reaction Time', one reader - obviously the owner of a Skyline GTR - beleives that his car can beat an old-school V8. If he had any sort of a brain, he would realise that cars like the old GT-HO and Monaros would leave there litlle Jap-crap imports for dead with or without the need for a turbo. I am a p-plater but while on my Ls I was behind the wheel of a stock standard Diahatsu Charade with a 1.3 under the bonnet (which I am aware is a Jap made car) and have not once been beaten by another Jap-import car.

I think Nissan should stick to making family cars because the Skyline is a heap of shit. The ony real import to come out of Japan that is worth buying for performance is the WRX STi."

Ha ha ha what a classic - Nice one SPEED. I think you just chucked that one in there to stir the pot some more. :(

B-man that is the 1 thing that i cannot stand!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate all these people (usually aussie V8 drivers) going on about the power and potential of holdens. Not bagging these cars but from my experience skylines in all cases modded or standard pull-rank over all the locally manufactured cars. I hate when ppl dont look at the full story and just stick to their own biased oppinions...

Hey guys, Iain from Speed here (as opposed to Iain on speed... :Paranoid: )

We're glad you like the article and look forward to having some SAU cars featured in the mag. :headspin: Thanks for letting us know about the show and the help during the day.

Oh, and that letter wasn't written by anyone here in the office. Rest assured we get weirder ones. (It can be a real worry...:bonk: :looney:)

Cheers :)

      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?
