Just purchased a Ross Race Series Balancer for the RB25 with 10% under drive on the W/P and 20% on the power steer.

Great price and very easy to deal with.

Ross Performance Parts

:woot:

Very nice

Are you going to dry sump it too?

Just a quick update, i picked up the car from the smash repairers today and i am very happy with the job. All the holes in the roof and the rust has been repaired and it is ready to be fitted out with the cage, so excited.

ha ha, what sunroof??????? did a great job. Project coming along well Ryan, and yes the list of things to do always seems to grow instead of shrink lol. Let me know if you want your oil pan modified while the engine is on the stand. We built a couple of high energy style pans with internal gates and baffeling for RB engines for circuit use, there is a thread somewhere. Just be easy to do it now. Still get a bit worried about oil surge in the standard sump and with the suspension you are running you will see decent corner speeds and braking G forces.

Hope to see it at OP.

this is an old post from when we had the workshop but you can see the sumps, they clear crossmembers etc.

pay no attention to the group buy stuff, but if there is interest its better to do a couple rather than a one off.

Id be keen to see the threads on the oil pans, im contemplating something for mine but dont want to the hassle of fitting a new swaybar with the high energy option.
Looks great!

Did they fully weld the new roof panel?

wondering if they used bog, if it will crack during the stresses of the track, although you will have a cage which will stiffen the whole thing up.

No bog in my car buddy.

He used a poly urethane glue stuff that will give a little i think, you can't weld them completely cause it will deform the entire roof i think. It has been spot welded at a ratio of one spot per inch, Then the poly urethane glue stuff does the rest i think ???

Time will tell if it cracks or not? Fingers crossed it is all sweet.

Well just a quick up date the car has been delivered to Brads to get the cage sorted so hopefully i will have it back in a few weeks to finish painting the inside then it will be full steam ahead re assembling.

I will try and up date some picks along the way.

    • 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.
