So iv'e managed to sell my 33. Well it didn't really take long but long story short I needed a bigger car for work and family. I am most likely picking up a stag tomorrow and as any typical guy am already looking at what mods to use and who to talk to.

I'm sure there's a stagea thread on here so anyone got any directions?

Oh and yes i feel bad for selling the line but at least I haven't strayed to far from the pack. lol

Cheers

Kane

I don't give a shit whether you buy mine or not, but have a look at it as a template for mods :devil:

They need the standard RB 100k service upon purchase, they NEED good pads, tyres, shocks and alignment bushes, the springs and swaybars are an optional mods, but the others are a maintenance item. Radiator reco is a peice of mind thing.

Full exhaust saves fuel and makes it go better, same with FMIC.

Will add more after dinner.

If you are interested in making an offer on mine, feel free, if you have stagea questions, I will answer them whether you are interested in mine or not, here or in the stagea section.

find that hard to believe, im lucky to see 400 out of a full tank, standard exhaust i was getting a minimum 400 once ran it till 450-60

interesting... my freeway fuel consumption improved massively when i did dump/front/cat, also helped around town.

have you done your cat? and done plugs lately?

      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.

      Lock up the old for sale / wtb threads.

      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.
