Personally, I'd just save up my pennies and wait till I had $2k and go down to steve @ sst and get a wolf3d installed. This will get you a full ignition/timing/fueling computer, remove your boost cuts, speed cuts and will also allow you to controll the boost as well. A safc is gonna set you back $550-$650 (depending on where you buy it) + dollars spent to tune it on the dyno. To up your boost now its gonna cost you about $100 for the bleed valve, I dunno how much the cut defenders are and then the dyno time to set it all up. Save the dosh and buy the ecu, you will get much better bang for buck.

Kym, Yes, the R34 cooler is better, but it's the overfuelling that will occur at 12psi without an SAFC that makes me say that 10psi is better. I think with a decent full exhaust the boost will rise to a reasonable figure without the need to muck around with bleeder's for the time being.

I've got a bleed valve from previous owner (uninstalled), so the only unknown cost right now is for the boost cut defender(s), depending on how many I need..

I probably will go the ECU a bit later along the line together with the FMIC, but for now I just want a cheap and effective power increase in the form of boost + front/dump pipes. Sound like a good idea?

    • 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.
