Hey all,

I had a little bingle in the car on saturday night. Which ended in the roof being slightly bent.

Recieved the call today that she was a right off :whistling:

Insurance have taken the car and is being sold at auction.

Possibly looking for another NA 33 or similar.

Recieving around 10g back after excess. So im open to suggestions.

One of the longest days at work :D

yeh sorry man.

I didn't judge it proply. threw a shicane. some gravel on the road and she just went. only saw the gravel at the last minute.

Car can be bought at auction for like 2g if some one wants a reasonable 33 with only rear panel damage and one broken small window.

omg~ doesn't sound very total to me... its sad how car values can go down dramatically cuz of some expensive minor repairs. 2G omfg! i'd buy it and sell the parts myself man~ the engine itself would already give me profit, then theres the turbo, trans, etc etc.

Sucks how a minor bend in the roof, despite the car can look fine=write off. Anyway f**k the car, your not dead, get a turbo now. Kill yourself quicker next time :)

That is the plan. maybe not the whole killing myself side of things. im not emo haha.

Only thing is insurance is threw the roof.

    • 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.
