I just wanted to drop in and say hey.

I'm a transplant from the states married an Aussie and here I am in WA.

I was looking to getting a Syclone/Typhoon brought over from the states but the wife wasn't too keen on it.

Being I wanted something different that I havent played around with and I wanted an AWD car the Sy/Ty was my choice. But since I was told no by the "boss". I decided the closest thing to what I wanted was a skyline. So guys keep a lookout for me on this board because I plan and intend to prolly ask some really stupid questions. I've built my share of street cars in the states.. ( 69 Charger RT 512rwhp, 75 Vette with 400+ hp, camaros firebirds, 56 GMC Pick up (ute to you guys) with 480rwhp 86 mustang, list goes on and on)

See ya'll soon

o0o0o

69 charger rt

mmmmm

i want one

Bro let me tell she was a beast has a 4000 stall and 4.88 rearend. Wasnt tubbed but with full on slicks she would spin just a bit and just snap your neck. in the quart she prolly run in the high tens low 11's.... which doesnt seem that fast but you are also moving a land yacht. She was super heavy but a real head turner man I miss it just not the petrol bill...lol

Tell your wife to get f**ked, buy whatever you want as long as its not gonna break the bank... whats up with guys these days, getting ruled by a woman!!

She's the one with the trust fund :angry:

or as they once said, "the one with the gold makes the rule"

Either not complaining I'd never would have considered a Skyline if she didnt like thie idea of importing for the states.

    • 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.
