can you provide us with a picture - don't quite get you, but if you're asking for what I think you are asking for, then I might know of a place that can sell you these.

provide more details and I will try to help you out mate.

that looks like a very custom job... the glass on the inside is normally red in colour, its not the bulb that makes it red...

i dont know where you would get something like that... perhaps from the people that make spares or something, before they colour them?

they are the "active-k" tail lights.

from japan... they used to pop up on yahoo auctions a fair bit..

i looked into getting some in last year, they were $800 + delivery + etc... and went f**k it

they aren't "active-k" tail-lights, the owner did it himself,

That car used to be up here in Townsville (Not sure if it still is, might be) im pretty sure the tail lights still lit up red. Very interesting tail lights to see in real life, and if i remeber correctly (this is going to be hard to describe), on our red R33 tail lights, the actual red cover is like a smoothed over one piece, however those white ones arent smooth and you can actually put your hand inside and feal like the steps of the tail light........get what i mean?? :D

Havn't seen the car for about 4 months now so not sure if it is still here, i spoke to the guy that owned it a couple of times but i never asked about the tail lights.. D'oh!

However i remember thinking to myself when i saw them up close is that it looked as if the owner had just somehow taken of the red lens that covered the tail light and underneath it was the clear grooves....? Does anyone know wether thats what the tail lights look underneath the factory red lens??? Come on who has smashed a rear tail light and knows :D

edit: stupid computer

- i remember a mob in melbourne used to sell them (it was an s13/14 drift orientated site, that also sold the r324 bee*r kits) - for the life of me i cant remember the name... shit

      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!

      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.
