is andrew lawson the RX7 driver? Wouldn't realy bother me, I just want to go racing.

Black sparkly S14 200sx-r (you would know it, its load shooting material).

Running within the top 20 at Rally Tas is a great effort and good on you for getting out there, a point of difference like running a ute or a wild color is always the best way to draw a sponsor.

I heard you guys had some pretty wild looking angles out of corners on stages! How did the tyres hold up?

I can see John's point of view, however minor the contact might have been he now has a damaged car and as Tasmanian circuit racing is hardly about sheep stations any damage is a pain in the arse and its not hard to run very close and not contact, but has to be something allowed for obviously.

Wore a set out coming into savage (i think most ppl did), its not too tyre friendly with all the body roll.

Its understandable stu, no one wants to be repairing their cars all the time, but i guess its the risk you take when you take your car out there. Close racing is the best though, its almost boring watching a spread field.

a "sorry mate" after the race would of made me feel a whole lot better. these things happen and we take the risk but there is no reason to it on purpose (not saying he did).

good to know he ran top 20 in the rally. since our lap times where nearly the same, so might I have. and I bet its had tons more work done on it than mine!! For the record, mine is still 70% standard.

There were black marks on the rear bumper of his car too, but i didn't hear him complaining, thats racing. (sorry im not trying to get up you, your the one out there racing and im standing on the sideline), but it just annoys me what ppl keep saying about it, sure its not ideal, but it does a bloody good job for what it is!

As for mods, i wouldn't call pedders lowered springs a mod!

What has yours got (done to it)

well if its got black marks on it i dont think it was from me. i was fired up and did try to return the favour, but i didnt feel any contact. thats why i had to drop back, i overheated. nothing wrong with close racing, but if you cant do it and not touch...... there's prob nothing wrong with the car( i called it stupid because i had my nose out of joint) but a car dont drive itself.

kings lowered springs, pod filter, 3'' exhaust, strut bar, front and rear camber arms, race tryes. a bigger interccoler is going on it now. the rest is standard.

Raw (Natsoft) race results: http://www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/results....25/02/2007.BASK Last race was Targa A, B & C, some details are a bit dodgy (e.g. there was only one S2000 racing, not two)

Very interesting race that one as well :happy:

Its going to take some doing to tame the wild beast that Andy has unleashed on everyone with his black beast.

Who has what it takes to do so???

eleventy billion horspower!!! :)

I thought it would be a little faster than that......maybe yet to get it sorted though.

Would be incredibly close between the 200SX-R and Tim's Rex!!! What a battle that would be!

I had a good day out there, got rather burnt though.

the move to the new box would allow more pony's to be released as he went thru a number of RB25 boxes previously. i think most reliability issues are have been worked through now. awesome car.

i remeber when he ran the thing at targa as basically a standard road car with a bolt in cage when new... how times change!

      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!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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.

      Lock up the old for sale / wtb threads.

      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.
