lol as old as this thread is i had to reply

this is some of the most funny shit i have been reading for ages.

there realy is some drop kicks in the car scene. an OXY!!!!! wtf are you on about.

springs are $150 a pair so for the sake of $300 you would rather an oxy!

how the hell did you afford an r33 in the first place? did your mum buy it for you?

its sad shit like this that make the performance scene look so bad to the coppers.

seriously. sell the skyline mate and buy a hyundai. you suit it.

Its equally as sad that you dig up such an old thread to post such a pointless reply just so you can flame another forum member to make yourself feel better because mummy didnt hug you enough when u were a lil boy.

And this is only your second post on the forums! Looks like your going to a wonderful contribution to site :D

wtf was the point in you posting?

Hey just curious

I was thinking instead of buying lowered king springs etc because i want a custom height for my car, of just heating up the springs with an oxy accetelene blow torch.

Ive done this previously on my vn commy couple years back :miner:

Ive got a r33 series 1 1993 skyline with standard suspension

What do youse think? And im on a very tight budget haha :P

cheers

I know it's old post, but anyway... all you gonna end up is a weirdly uneven ride height, like in my case... My car is about 2cm lower on drivers side compared to passenger side. and I didn't do it on purpose, just shit old worn out springs.... I had to order custom made new stock height springs because you can't find new ones anywhere

by heating up the springs and allowing them to cool on there own will be like normalizing

this will lower the car but it will also soften the springs and they will be less stiff

my suggestion is buy some springs or cut the original ones

      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!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      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.
