??? Im not sure if its the same but an rb26 is about 4.6 litres at minimum; most people put in 5 for extra protection around high speed bends.

2.5litres is waaaaay to low; did your oil light ever come on?

ha yeah thought it was a bit low nah no oil light

i was guessing about 4.5 litres

all good now thanks

Yea my r33 has perfect oil level at 4 litres. Did an oil change in a mates R34 and had to use the full 5 litres and it just hit the minimum line on the dip stick... wierd.

that is weird, i usually put 4.5 - 5 litres, seems to fill her up nicely ( R34)

Im sure your not that silly, but was this before you filled the filter?

Im almost 100% positive that the OEM manual says that they take 4.5 litres.

Thats what i always put in mine and it doesnt go above the F mark. Even 5L (that i put in for track, maybe a little over) it didnt show a great increase on the stick either.

Was after, filled with oil. Ran the car to fill up the filter. Then checked the level, and then added more oil and kept checking. Found it real strange.

    • 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.
