Thats typical Japanese bidding..drives me insane. Bloody kamikaze ninja numbnuts thinking if they wait until last 10 secs they'll get it.

I just chuck my max bid in from the get an be done with it.

What are you going to use to run it ??

232,000yen. Didn't wanna spend anymore then 230k to be honest but like u said I hardly see them on there. This one was the best condition one I've seen on there.

I think you got a good score mate. yeah the bloody time extensions on yahoo auctions shits me. I've been buying off yahoo for over 10 years and lost many nights of sleep back in the early 2000s when auctions would re-extend for hours and hours. ending time would be say 8pm and they'd bloody go until 2am with tiny little bid increases every time extra time was about to finish. drove me insane.

When I was staying in Japan early this year my mate mentioned you can actually use a site to bid at the last 0.001 of a second to win the auction. Found that out after I lost the bid on a GT500 RRR block which went for around 5,500 :(

Waste of time and doesnt always work.

Just work out max you want to pay and throw it in at the start.

Watch it and if it goes past your bid and you want to pay more then throw more bids on.

10 years living in Jappa another 8 on top of that going there on travel business and visa hopping, I learnt a long long time ago not to waste time or energy on dumb stuff the Japanese do.

If you do you will be banging your head against a wall for a long long time.

The Motec 800 will run the V-cam no problems.

Also Midori Seibi have been doing setups with a custom Power Fc that they reset.

Screw the GTR's go a big single..

Autoselect Yellow Shark with V-cam

Big single would be to laggy on the 26 for now, and means my ARC twin entry cooler would be useless :(

Just wanna get the thing running already. I'll be going either Tomei 2.8 or Brian Crower 2.9 later on.

Now to save some funds again for a front diff and a whole heap of Nissan parts.

that was just my point mate. response from the -5s is the key for the track. note kaido_RR build, he's done alot of sensible work. :thumbsup:

    • 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.
