Another lurker from England

Hello,

Not sure when I joined up here but have came here for a wander round. I bought an r33 gtr vspec in July last year and has took around 6 months to be put back on the road. Was missing an engine and gearbox when I got it and while a new engine was being built, I upgraded a couple of things. Its still on a run in map which is boring as I am limited to 4000rpm (link g4+ limit set at 5500rpm) but I noticed it had a misfire between 2-3000rpm under load so it is back at the garage 120 miles away having that and a few other things addressed.

Id never driven a skyline until the day I went to pick it up a few weeks ago so its all new to me. Did around 145 slow miles and have about 500 to go before the oils changed and the map tweaked with the limiter taken off. Be good when its ran in so I can familiarise myself with it and see what all the fuss is about.

Not sure its been worth all the hassle so far but haven't really had a chance to get to know it yet. People keep telling me it will be worth it in the end, I live in hope.

Bit of a long-winded hello but there you go,

Cheers

Rest assured it will all be worth it. I miss my R33 GTR to death. 

Many GTR owners on here have gone through pain with their cars only to be rewarded at the end. Stick with it. 

:welcome: to :sau:

    • 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.
    • 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?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • 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.
