The one I have here is "Magic" Brand.

It gets rid of the glue by applying it a few times and it breaks it down and you can wipe it away.

Don't know if it would leave a mark on your dash, best bet is to test it for colourfastness on a small spot of you dash which is out of view.

um.. i tried metho on mine which cleared some but not all of a mark i had on mine. I was initially worried the metho would eat away the plastic but it works a treat. I think you're stuffed as the super glue actually changes the chemical composition of the dash and bonds itself into the plastic molecules.

You could always paint it blue? hehe

coz double sided tape doesent hold hard enough

the superglue just form a thin plastic layer onto on the dash. It aint that a complex thing that it changes the molecules of the dash

nah man, predator is right. Dont' get me wrong but - This is Serious!!!

The molecules on your dash may have changed forever, I suggest you immediately go and visit a Chemical Engineer or someone who is experienced in dealing with the transformations of polymers and get some help!!!!

..........or just go buy some super glue remover!

:D

hey..stop that...

seriously - the idea of superglue is to form a bond between the glue and what it bonds to. For plastic it will seep into the plastic, and that is why it is so effective at what it does. While you can try superglue remover, it will probably still leave a stain in the dash as its below the outer layer - as you will probably find out.

Don't ask how it got there its a long story!!!

try it - it works really well (goes out and buys shares in super glue remover company)

But try it on a spot of paint you can't see first to check if it's gonna effect your paint.

inasnt - you can get some really stong double sided tape stuff, similar to the one that comes with an SAFC originally from a hardware store. It doesn't even leave a mark.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
