Hey all,

R33 GTST Series 2

bought one of these the other day: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ALLOY-INTAKE-PIPE-4...id=p3286.c0.m14

Doesn't state anywhere on the ad that its a pain in the ass to fit and that it is not a direct fit.

Hose from blow off valve and breather house have to me changed or modified!

Few pics..

Take off standard cooler piping

Test fit new alloy pipe.. oh look, nothing lines up!

End up having to run new house for breather and BOV

Had to do with what we had for joining hose to alloy pipe as we couldn't get a hold of the correct size pipe for BOV plumb back into intake.

Also, had to trim about 2cm off the bottom of the pod filter other wise it wouldn't sit under the bonnet because the alloy pipe is a bit too long!!!!

In other words,

dodgey kit! Nothing lines up!!

hate to say it but this is what you get for cheap knock off items on ebay / 2nd hand traders

its probably autobahn 88 or something cheap etc

if it was a legit HKS or Trust item it would be about sub $500 and fit perfectly and mate up

but if its a knock off $80 item what can you expect?

just blank off the BOV and practice p i g e o n noise ;)

Already have.. just made up the BOV return line just so it looks like its hooked up

is that a hose holding in a hose there(big fitting nearest afm)? haha

Yes lol, BOV is blocked off anyways

Defiantly run a bigger bov return hose :P

Lol, its just so its there to make the BOV legal as you know its meant to be plumbed back. The BOV is blocked off anyways

Ah good ole ebay "direct fit" parts...

Cost you more in time than something from a well known trader if you paid initially :P

Good writeup/info on what you needed/need to do etc though for others that might get into the same predicament

someone must have stole his account

how do i know if my stock r33 pipe is closing shut running 17psi? would my knock increase??

you will lose lots of power :(

put it on a dyno and have a look while a run is being done. much easier than trying to drive with the bonnet up and someone standing on a skateboard leaning into the engine bay, LOL

There is none.

Only time you will see a 'gain' is if your stock one is sucking shut, which really isn't a gain, its just replacing a stuffed/broken part

sorry ash but i beg to differ

i made a "dose" pipe on sunday night after work and fitted it all up its 3 inch stainless steel and about 30cm long ish

the response in every gear is much better it definately had a good gain in response. the dose is not very loud either which is good too.

    • 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.
