took mine out on sunday, cut my hand on various screws and stuff like 6 times.

In my r32, i unscrewed the fuel line bracket just forward of the filter, then got the filter to an easily accessible place, then pulled like a MF, just came off...

try getting pliers, clench just at the end of the nozzle ( on a soft spot in the line) and lever the pliers against the fuel filter... worth a shot... : )

i just changed my fuel filter on the last service its a bitch...

put hose clamps on either side of it so u don't spray fuel everywhere (also makes the car start much sooner after you have changed the filter) then remove the engine side first (pull damn hard (don't yank it from the engine, hold the hose and the filter and pull them appart) then pull really really hard to get it off from the fuel tank side. thats the hardest....*

My advice is to not do up the hose clamps too tightly when you put the new one in, because I reckon this is what makes the hoses harder to get off next time. Just tight enough to not come loose should be enough.

when i did mine i rememberd getting one end off but the other was tight asss....so i just cut it off...haha. im very paranoid so after i put everything back together i went over the hose again with a wet rag to neutralise any petrol that leaked in case it ate into the hose or caught on fire from the engine heat. as i said im paranoid...lol the car was so responsive after that. any idea on how often the filter should be changed??

depends how u run your car also...if u run it to empty then alot of the shit in the tank is more likely to get sucked up...if u leave like 1/4 or abit more in the tank before u fill up, dont chnage it too often...but its a simple thing to do, makes sure your engine gets all the fuel it needs and wants.

No one has yet properly explained to me why this is the case. I don't buy into it personally.

    • 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
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • 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.
