I might as well join in on this thread, Was looking at a stagea for a while, but ended up buying a gts4 from sydney with an rb25 conversion. First turbo car for me, so will probably ask stupid questions too but will try and keep them to a minimum :)

G'day Max & Chris! Welcome aboard! I was going to post something like...

"Ladies and Gentlemen,welcome aboard SAU Airlines(Skylines...), Flight 30,31,32,33,34. This is not your Captain,and we expect your trip to be rapid,enthralling,eventful and fun. If you look out to your right rearview mirror,you'll see objects getting left behind. I'm not expecting any trouble on our journey,but always have your seatbelt fastened in case of any unexpected turbulence from authorities,rednecks or keyboard warriors. Our estimated cruising speed should not be bragged about,nor divulged for the same reasons as turbulence,however feel free to move around your cabin to enjoy your ride. At any time during ownership,please feel free to call on SAU with any questions or concerns you may have. Enjoy your trip,and thanks for boosting with SAU 'Lines..."

But then I considered that a bit corny and...oh,wait. Was that the voices in my head,or did I really tap that out?!? LOL!!!

Arr they was just ridin' shotgun, keeping the trucks off the a$$ of those slow old unreliable 32's. It's also the best place to pick up all the spare parts that vibrated off the recycled tokyo taxi's. Only trouble is your windscreen gets covered in oil from all the leaks.

And thats the gratitude you show them................next time when you break down out of mobile coverage don't ask a 33 to help, they'll all be at the weighbridge having coffee!!

    • 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.
