Guys, thank you so much for helping me with this dilenma..i personally feel that even though the S15 might be a newer model (2001-2002) the R33 S2 (1996-1998)..but am i right to say that Skylines are actually the "flagship" sports car for nissan??

I am well aware that S15 gear boxes have a few issues, some of my friends with the S15s says they would change the S15 gear box to a 5 speed gear box from either an S14 or the R33 gearbox. May i ask if there are any potential problems with an R33 S2 GTST?

I totally agree that if i splash out close to $30K on the S15, i will not have any money left for mods. So which means if i pay close to $19k for my skyline, i will still at least have $8k to mod it, will the $8k of mods be enough to achieve very high power?? Please advise, thanks guys.

The GT-R is Nissan's flagship sports car, which is not the car you're getting. While they share the same base, there's a fair amount of difference in them. Greatness by association only works if you're a poseur.

Technically the Evolutions share the same base as every other Lancer, but I wouldn't go and buy a VR-X expecting it to hang on to the back of Porsche 911 up a twisty country road.

      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?
