Hey Guys,

Just wondering how yo guys feel about the Red in the premium version? Personally I don't like it and opting towards the Base model, except im left without the bose stereo system and the dark wheels.

Unless I buy the base model and change the wheels anyway, im sure I can work around with the stereo. I just wish the Premium came with the option of just black interior, what do you guys think?

yeah sadly in aus we are a bit limited for choice. the japanese cars had 3 options levels. base, premium, and black edition. the premiums in japan had the upgraded alarm, upgraded bose stereo, dark wheels, bridgestone tyres but still had the same seats as the base model. and the black edition was a premium but with the red insert seats.

maybe buy the premium and hope down the track someone with a base model will want to swap seats with you... :D

Just get the premium and get the Red retrimmed. Couldn't be more than $1k.

Regards,

You can't be serious! Cut out the red and patch in the black inserts? What about all the stiching holes which will never match up again?

These seats will get ruined for sure.

Just take a look at the photo of the 4 GT-Rs lined up in the "R35 Development Project, A snapshot of a customer build" thread. One of the cars has the black wheels (premium) and three have the "charcoal" wheels. Can you really see that much of a difference? And if you spent $4000 on upgrading the standard stereo I'm sure you'd end up with a hellava better stereo than the so-so Bose system. (Plus you get the stickier Dunlops) :D

      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.
