Hey guys... This is how my front bar looked before http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&id=137112 but now i've got my stock type M front bar cut so i can fit it with the cooler there.. wasnt easy and the front bar really had to be pushed to fit and the bar is kind of pushing the intercooler a bit but yeahh its on there at least lol..

Anywhoo i used to scrape that old front bar because it was really low... but now that ive changed the front bar when u look at the car u can see the cooler pipe under the car and its so low that instead of scraping the front bar, sometimes im scraping the cooler pipe!!!! I had one of my mates install the whole FMIC for me, its not the usuall FMIC piping its the ones where the pipe go around so it didnt require u to cut through the chassis (so i didnt have to get a engineers certificate).. Does anyone know how much it would cost and whats the exact name if i wanted to get a new one of these sets? It would be kind of a waste since i spent $800 for the FMIC installed so i was thinking instead of getting a new cooler and piping and everything, is there a way to get the cooler moved up or get a new pipe made that wouldnt be so low and wouldnt end up costing me heaps? Ive heard aluminium welders could make me one but it would end up costing me heaps so im not too crash hot about doing that..

What are my options here? Im not too intercooler saavy so any help would be great..

Thanks

depending on just how far out it is, you can move it a fair bit without having to cut pipes etc. i had the opposite problem, where my greddy one was too high by about 5 cm. lowered it about 6 without having to change much, just loosen the joiners and give it a try. i did have to make a new bracket tho.

      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

      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.
