So I had an amazing opportunity to purchase a GTR!

Until I remembered I haven't driven a manual in 5 years. So, I'm not going to purchase it, as I'll look stereotypical. IE: Buying a vehicle I can't drive, like an old person buying a lambo.

Let this be a lesson to y'all! If you don't want your dreams crushed, make sure you're always preparing for whatever could happen in your life.

I drove a manual up until 1985.......... Drove Auto Commodores and Falcons until 2003.

Bought a manual Brock Commodore then......... 18 years between gear changes. I was comfortable with it inside 500 metres.

Sorry your post doesn't make sense.

lol this thread is funny. Anyways, back in the day, I bought a manual 240sx. Couldn't drive a manual AT ALL. Had my LITTLE brother test drive it for me with me in the car. Bought it.....30 minutes later....I could drive a manual lol. It's not hard. All 3 of my vehicles are manuals now. The real story of this post should of been.

So I had an amazing opportunity to purchase a GTR! But I got to scared so I didn't.

If you knew how to drive a manual, you would of bought it. I haven't rode a bike in 10 years......bet I can pick it up in 5 seconds.

Which model did you get bob? My old man still has his vh group 3 in red which he bought in 84 :)

LOL.......... If you're Sydney based I'd probably know him!

Ironically I've had 3 VC HDT's which are the original 1980 ones. Made 500 based on an SLE so it had all the plush stuff.

All 3 were Firethorn Red (Burgundy), 2 manuals and 1 auto.

Bought the best one in December 2003 and sold it in August 2007 at the height of the Australian Muscle Car boom.

Good cars but light years from an R32 GT-R. Roughly tens years between them but it's horse and cart stuff by comparison.

Anyway here are a few pics from 2006.

Cheers,

Bob.

I'm going through with it. I'm not going to ***** out on this. I'm American, hence my attitude on the difficulty (IE: Price) Of GTRs in the states. I live in Japan at the moment, so I'm able to get one priced fairly. I'm quite excited.

      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.
