My old 33 didn't have one in the 4 1/2 years I owned it & I didn't have any issues, I just left it idling while I sorted my shiz

+1

My car doesn't have one & haven't had any engine related problems with the 2.5 years I owned it. I use my watch for the 15 to 30secs timing :P

i think the reason its illegal is because it is then an insurance liability, walk away with it on someone jumps in you claim...all coz ur silly, that way it being illegal you cant claim= same money for insurers... im just assuming here

Rest assured your assumption is incorrect. Have you ever tried to turn your steering wheel without the key in the ignition? Doesn't turn very far does it... good ole steering lock

I've often wondered about the underlying issue though as from what I remember there are certain turbo diesel 4x4's etc which actually have turbo timers from factory. My turbo timer is an integral part of my immobilizer, and one of my buttons on my remote turns the motor off by remote. A lot of grey area here indeed.

Front facing vents that aren't factory fitted need to pass criteria, and CAN be illegal.

Same with mascots, bonnet pins, etc ... anything that could be dangerous to somebody if they were hit by your rice rocket.

Guys, read the ADRs and VSB documents - don't just take a stab in the dark and dribble shit. This is why you all get yellow stickers.

Yet you still see 4x4's and utes with massive steel gates on the front.

If they are supposed to stop the car getting damaged by cattle and roos, what are they gonna do to pedestrians etc.

But I guess it's ok since they are not carbon fibre right? lol

Like I said...criteria...go and do some reading.

Let me do it for you.

Start here:

VSB14

-> BODY MODIFICATIONS

--> SECTION 4.1 + 4.2 (BONNET SCOOTS AND PROJECTIONS + BONNET PINS + MASCOTS)

I'm amazed the old WRXs arent illegal considering that writeup. They look like shit and are dangerous to both driver and the poor people they hit.

Hahahaha how many F*CKING DEFECT TOPICS DOES THERE NEED TO BE!!?!?!?11???

Seriously, all of you just stfu about it. c*nt got defected because his car has defects. yeah, cops were douches to him. cops are douches to all young people with more-than-a-getz-spec performance...

except for cefiro drivers. because we're f*cking awesome like Sam Elliott.

Yeah they look retarded but so do WRX's anyway. :)

Apparently they need them 'cos of the top mounted intercooler though?

    • 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.
