Hi all,

Im planing to do this conversion around the middle of next year. But if funds permit i may do it a little earlier. Ill use the GTR rear dif and try get GTR brakes all round. My quetion is what box do u guys recomend as im not doing the AWD conversion i cant use the 6 speed box unfortunately :D How strong is the GTST box? as i want to do everything right the first time so when i have a bit more money down the track i can go for bigger power with fewer issues. Has neone done this conversion or have ne advice to give me it would be greatly appriciated.

Cheers

John

haha yeah thats cool, i was always under the impression they were 6 speed?? oh well im not missing out on nething then, also a gtr half cut is around 6g's ive been told as a real approximate around 10g's give or take a few. but i will also need new wheels aswell, so im giving myself a 15g limit for when i do it so i should be able to do a few mods straight away aswell. from my current insurace policy they only quoted 160 bucks extra for the conversion, and im 17 rating 5!!! i made the mistake of not getting it in writing cause im sure id never get a quote like that again it must have been a mistake.

i saved since i was like 10, working at my grandfathers company, then when i was old enough i worked at maccas aswell, i started saving for a car before i even knew what a skyline was, i managed to put together 10g's and my parents gave me another 6. and by the middle of last year i was a very proud owner of a skyline, since then every dollar i have earnt has gone into my car. And after y12 im planning to take out a 15g loan and do the converion.

this might be a stupid question but why are you getting the extractors if you're doing the conversion next year? i hope you go ahead with the conversion, it would be good to see it done and that way i'll know exactly what needs upgrading so I can do it to my car once i finish uni :D

what age do you get your license in queensland? i get mine in less than 3 weeks!!

u get ur learners when ur 16 and 6 months and have that for 6 months then u get ur p's then stay on them for 4 years. Yeah i figured the extractors wearnt too pricey and i just wanted i little bit more performance from my car for now, the high flow insert also isnt too pricey and an apexi afc i can use with the new engine.

      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.

      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.
