Went to Autobarn today again because i didn't manage to remote start when the engine is cold. The whole idea of remote start is to warm up the engine. But autobarn can't fix it. So it's a bit useless for me to get remote start oledi. Spent so much for nothing......

At the same time, i also bought a boost controller and a blow-off valve. Anyway is blow off valve illegal? i think i prefer the factory made valve than the one i bought in autobarn. And there tune my boost to 1 bar.. will that cause any damage to my engine? IT's really a fast car now... Yippy~~~

Unless you have an aftermarket Turbo + FMIC i'd be turning that down. From my memory 1 bar = ~14.5psi which for a stock R33 Turbo is way too high. Try setting it to about 10psi and 12psi if u have a cooler and not too hot a day.

BOV is illegal in Vic if u do not plumb it back.

U should be able to get the remote start to work even on a cold day. Take it to another alarm installer.

For me, turbo timer setting at 1 min all the time and set the rest of the time to auto depending on how much u r boosting it

As Benm says, run it on 10psi for stock turb and it should be sweet.

Good luck with your skyline :)

Think about it this way. If anyone really wants your car, they'll tow it. But get a reality check. Your car is not a porsche, it's just a 20000 skyline. Most likely, they wouldn't bother with a towtruck.

I do a fair bit of work installing alarms, and i'll tell you that no matter how you install the alarm, it's still fairly easy to remove the alarm. Think about it this way, how do you install it? you cut wires, and join in the alarm. What will stop someone from removing the alarm unit, and rejoining the original wires (join wires of the same colour) ? Shouldn't take long at all. 4-5 hours to install a good alarm, 10 minutes to "uninstall" it. Alarms are more of a deterent for kids, or inexperienced people who think "oh, i'll just break into that and hotwire it and get a skyline!"

True, i got an alarm fitted in my car the other day (wont go into details) and while it's not a bad system i didn't go for the best on the market, there just seemed no need.

There are some simple ideas that might make your car less attractive for thieves, such as garaging it at home, and parking next to more expensive looking cars in shopping centres :P lol

      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.
