average speed was above 130 and got booked at 137 at roma ( damn it).

highest speed was bout 150 on the highway the other side of mt isa!

lol that's faster than you went at the Maryborough sprints... (or any of us for that matter!) Weren't you heading up that way only a couple of months ago when you dropped into wheels on wide bay for a look this year?

P.S. what's with you not getting a drive yet Russ??! :thumbsup:

lolol , well sorry Russ but seems I'm now Johnny on the spot :happy: .... not my fault you moved up there! :D

You were damn lucky not to get the fine for 140 mate, instant loss of licence! Did the big 'cruiser get up without needing 5 litres of oil topped up? lol :thumbsup:

I can very happily confirm I drove the thing yesterday and the mirror is solid as a rock now ;)

I came out late and did not get to see your run mate but I heard that you went into the 53 :P

You know you gotta give more feedback about the drive than just a short blurb on the mirror you know :P

And you didn't come say hi?!?!

Mid 54's actually, but in my defence I'd never driven that track layout before, or the car obviously, quite a bit to learn in six laps :O

The car is amazing, Mark said my eyes were like dinner plates when I stepped out, it's such a sweet little handler, but the standout for me would have to be the gearbox, wayyyyy cool that is!

Oh, and having all wheels spinning in 5th gear at the bump between turn 1 and 2 is pretty funky :)

Yeah we discussed it getting a passenger seat yesterday, will be difficult due to the muffler box but we'll try. Other peeps neeeeed to experience this car!

And funnily enough, I'm the only person other than Mark to have driven it..... the back of my throat is bruised. haha :)

OMG! You got to drive that ;):O:O You get to do everything your my hero! :):P A passenger seat is a must! If there is a will there is a way..Getting a hot lap in that would top my ride in a radical I reckon :O

*I really need to read the above posts" LOL

Sure, its a nice car. But you cant tell me you didnt jump from it just itching to get behind the wheel of an RB20 powered BOHEMOTH GTSt ! :)

haha I might be joining this RB20 clan shortly! They better be all you guys crack them up to be....

P.s Roy your car is a personal favourite of mine..Loved it on song at DECA!

Mate, with eyes that large even girl would stay away from ya :P

Seriously, I got out there quite late and a lot of people went home aldready. Briefly spoke to Mark and did not know that you were out there until I talked to Dazmo in the evening.

That is an awesome time for first time on that track and in the car. Hope you get some more practice with it ;)

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      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!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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.
