Oh No Look What I Did To My Echo's


Recommended Posts

I'm glad Adam didn't smash the echo. It seems he is getting plenty of time in other peoples cars at the moment!!

coz he's a girlie man that won't drive his own car... even though its a fortress on wheels :P

Nice work Adam... and driver dynamics crew.

Adam isn't driving in either of those first two shots

The first one is one of my instructors Lawrence who holds about 15 world records, the second one is me.

Here's a pic of Adam jumping :D, and of my missus doing her first ever handbrake turn :D

Do you guys change the suspension in those cars you use in training, or are they as they come from the shop?

And what records do you guys hold?

Coooool.. I want a shot!

Yup that's Adam. I can see his handbag.

Yep thats me all right my hand bag was safely stowed in the over head compartment until I had landed safely. haha

Thanks once again kev for teaching me how to jump. Cant wait to see how the promo vid comes up.

I highly recomend you guys give it a go. Was such a rush and very safe. Although i did freak out a bit when Laurence and i did a tandem jump noes to tail. I was trailing and i couldnt see the jump just the back of his car then woosh i was airborn hehe. Cant wait to do it again.

Pity about Scotty Kev, was a very enthusiastic guy.

I used to do something similar in Brisbane when i was rallying. Had a railway line crossing on top of almost the same profile but wider, so I'd hit it at 80kmh and just gently touch down on the other side. Of course you can't go past balancing a Leopard tank on a knife edge for sublime, except maybe crossing a donga that's too wide flat out with just throttle control to rock the tank so you transition from one side to the other without hurting yourself and the 42 tons of steel, stuff it and you nose in....hard.

    • 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.
