  1. There should be a mandantory death setence for car thieves.. better still, open season on them..a kind of civil service. Maybe Cpt. A. Blythe could come up with something, licensing..quota's..on the spot penality's. Anyone know of an insurance company that would payout more than $8k current market value on a R33 that's had over $25k sunk into it?? Insurance..must be joking!
  2. Just pay the fine, trust me..no magistrate is going to dismiss police testimony to accomodate you regardless. There's the way things should be..and the way things are. A reality lesson that can be hard to learn.. Lodge a written objection with the superintendant of traffic in your area, if you feel you have a case..then pay the fine.
  3. yep, seems the zip tie is the going arrangement..the two I've done both had them.
  4. If it was operating ok before the problem showed up, it can really be only one thing..air in the system. Trickle bleed the slave cylinder & see if you get the travel back. Nismo cylinder will just give you a lighter pedal effort on heavy pressure plates due to the piston size..can't imagine any other advantage, could be wrong...guess the name's worth something. BTW; adjusting the master cylinder operating rod isn't going to give you any more travel because your just changing the pedal to piston stop relationship...not increasing piston travel..well unless it's badly adjusted already. Should you lengthen it too much, with the pedal fully extended, you will just push the piston up the bore & close off the feed port from the reservoir...and if there's a bit of wear in the bore & you change the piston travel, it's going to start leaking. I'd just kit both master/slave cyls & problem solved..better still get them fitted with stainless sleeves & they will last forever. hope this helps...
  5. Weird..should be 240mm. What's the part number on the kit. Anyone have squealing noise from a rear main seal after installation (pre lubed) it's aftermarket, so wondering if it's slightly undersized.
  6. Next time take a slightly dull edged cold chisel & ball pein hammer..bite into the exposed side of the plug at about 45 deg angle, and make a series of strikes to turn the plug to loosen it...works 100% of the time on anything..drain plugs, wheel lock nuts, rounded bolt heads, broken studs, steering lock bolts, rusted bolts..you name it . Impact power..just keep it legal
  7. It's all good, got to the bottom of it.. Not sure if I should be posting anything on the subject, but if anyone is chasing a top quality R33 street cluch on a budget, let me know. BTW..CBC have rear main oil seals for $12 and idler/adjuster bearings for $77 pair..always handy to know.
  8. Picked up a clutch kit for a R33 DD Saturday..( need this done in a hurry) they gave me an Exedy NSK-6797 kit to fit an R33 RB25DE. These guys said it would fit the R33, but I think only the NSK-7056 kit does (which they don't have). I checked the part numbers on the net and the pressure plate & bearing are the same as the NSK-7056 kit, but the clutch plate is different..ISD104US instead of NSD098U. Exedy clutch finder says it's for an R32 RB25DE among other things.. Question..will this fit or no? wanted it done today
  9. Hey thanks for the reply's you guys..appreciate it. I'll get back with a PM. BTW: it's a series 1, forgot to mention that.
  10. Chasing up a good climate control dash unit and a RHS electric window switch, if anyone has a line on either or both. Brisbane, or posted to Brisbane 4128. Thanks guys. [email protected]
