I'll be in contact this week about ppl's cars. Just flat out at the moment with other shit.

hey, could I get in touch with you sometime soon, to roll 4 guards on my stagea?

rubbing with the 9.5's on all-round, want to get it sorted prior to the 26th track day.

are you able to help out? Im free anytime basically being out of work,

but if you dont want to "pimp my guards?, can you perhaps suggest someone down south who can roll guards?

cheers mate

i got my own painter for small things like my kit, but if i was gonna get some crash work/flares/etc done, id probably go and see all type with all the good things i hear and see out of there.

well I did my rears today. fronts are fine as is

the 17x9.5rims now feel fantastic thru the twisties, the 235/45/17 tyres stretched but now not hitting the inside lip

jacked the rear up, took off the rear rims, tapped the rear lip edge up, then hit the inside rim fold with a rubber hammer and a solid hammer

ended up folding the inner guard lip into itself, but got a bit of paint peal chipping off.

minor enough, but enough to justify a full paint touchup next year, to repair the mirror rust, rear bar crack and bodywork chip/stone damage.

so yeah, just by folding the rear guard lip into itself the tyres now dont scrape thru the hard corners.

next week it gets a tune, so will also tighten up the swaybars to max setting.

    • 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.
