My shed looks so big and empty now, my skyline, she is gone. Sold the car on friday to a nice kid from the other end of the state. Damn it was sad to see her go, I hope she treats him well.

Ah well, on to the next project... an RB30DET!

Thanks guys, next I think I will settle down a bit - buy a house, get married and spend every weekend mowing the lawn and being miserable :laugh: But to keep myself entertained I have enrolled for the engine building course at adult ed' and might start building an rb30det and later on buy another r32 to put it in (with a mad alarm! :P )

-Good luck with yours Todd :wave:

yeap..paid a deposit for an R32 in JDS imports..just looking for some parts such as intercooler, and a R34 nose cut..including headlights and fenders,trying to convert it into a R34 front and R32 rear looks..will try to accomplish it one by one though..

Hey Jasper, If you are going to that extent with the looks you should try something completely nuts and put a s15 silvia front on it :thumbsup:

Thanks gmb', I was a grumpy little sh*t on staurday :O but hopefully I might be able to put this new idea on wheels

You obviously have a pretty big budget to do the modification then as you would be looking 6K easy to do it cheaply.

Look forward to seeing it if you go ahead with it Jasper but have you sat down and actually weighed up what it will cost for the front end conversion at all???

Not trying to burst your bubble at all just curious thats all :thumbsup:

I know the feeling dude :happy:

If you want to do something that will stand out a little then maybe a C33 front on A31 mmmmmmmmmm

Dreams are what great things are made of old boy.

Good luck to you i say and i hope one day that your dream comes true with the conversion >_<

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • 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.
