that looks really nice... i guess the glovebox would be a good place for the AFC but kinda defeats the purpose installing an RSM there...

true that I have seen them on the steering colum just infront of the dash they look ok they but you would need to hide the wires somehow so it looks neet.

Something a lil different that the guy in the shop laughed at when I suggested it. I wanted to be able to quickly mount it anywhere didn't mind about the cables dangling as I wanted to quickly remove it when I got out the car to the glovebox. I was originally going to use the velcro everyone has suggested but I had another idea.

I wanted something with a ball joint so u could swivel it in any direction. I ended up getting a suction rear view mirror, not a large one but one that was about the size of my blitz sbc id3 and power meter controllers. I cut it to size, very lil had to be cut off depends which one u buy and stuck the displays on with the usual high bond double sided sticky tape. I then position it whereever I like, usually on my R33 its just to the right and down from my clock it suctions their wickedly, has never fallen off and is quick to put up and down again. I also at times stick it to the windscreen.

For a total cost of $10 its a lot cheaper than the apexi stands which can only swivel one way a lil limited for my liking. Everyone that sees it cannot believe it only cost me $10 cos it looks so good and easy to do!

Well hope this gives u some ideas!

      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?
