R33 Gtst Front Caliper Missing Parts

I am almost ready to put my new rotors, calipers an brake lines on my 32.

I had my 33 front calipers professionally rebuilt an painted my the car was in at the workshop last year (they aren't on the car yet). I pulled them out of storage on the weekend and found certain parts of it missing!

The bolts that go across the opening on top, where you'd see the pads come into contact with the rotors, are missing on both calipers. As well as the lil spring steel plate/shim that goes there too.

What I was wondering was, is there any other parts in that top area besides the pads, bolts an shim?

Would my 32 type m caliper donate it's ones or is it not compatible?

The workshop also lost the bolts for my radiator panel -__- their work is really good but I'm still not impressed

Any advice or help will be appreciated :-)

The workshop lost them, but I have to shoulder some of the responsibility too, since I failed to check if they were in the box the calipers were returned to me in.

I only noticed last night and was hoping that it maybe a common knowledge thing, cause I have to fight to get the skyline into the garage to work on it lol. One garage space, four cars, four opinions on who gets the garage.

Yeah I know the feeling, I lost the centre caps to my wheels, forgot about them at the tyre shop.

Hmm, you can always crash into their cars then say "should have let me fix the brakes before when I wanted to" :P

      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?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
