The plastic bracet that holds the bonet release handle above your right leg when in the drivers seat...mine is broken :devil: What are the chances of finding one? lol, it's not DESPERATE, but currently it's held in place with some zip-ties...the cable may also need replacement, as it feels very tight when you pull the handle, though that's more than likely caused by the current setup.

If you have one spare and don't mind parting with it, name your price :P

Thanks.

The bracket comes attached to the cable (as far as I know), I dont think that there is any way to get it off... You will probably have to buy a new cable (from Nissan - meaning $$$$).

Otherwise, just make up a bracket yourself to suit out of sheet steel or alloy, drill some holes in it, paint it black and Bob's your uncle. :)

Hi Troy, as bullet32 has said, the cable is attached to the plastic bracket and a new cable needs to be sourced in order to fix this problem, it is also a major f**k around and does cost a few bucks for something thats not a big issue!

Just always remember to push the cable back when you pop the bonnet and you'll be set!

      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!

      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.
