Thanks guys, yeah thats correct. HKS25/40 on about 18psi making 262rwkw. Id like another 20 or so to really punish 3rd gear though...

1) obtain 2 x20lt jerry cans

2) drive to hoppers crossing united

3) fill said jerry's with E85

4) continue driving to campbellfield

5) hand car and keys to rob and danny @ creatd

6) watch car on dyno making 300rwkw

7) punish 3rd

just realised it says your first time in the vid description, was it your first time out drifting at winton, or in a legal environment in general?

nice save on that big tank slapper at the end of the first vid too

Well it was my 3rd time on a track in general. Before that i did the drift beginners day at sandown and before that i took my decently setup VN wagon to Calder on one of those Wednesday drift nights...

lol yeah pretty full on toward the end of the straight...

Im bl**** BURNING that my camera died towards the end of the day at Winton. Cos toward the end of the day i built the courage to use 3rd gear through the 'S' bends & down the whole straight and its not on camera! Some serious, scary speed is gained down that straight in 3rd... :P

lol yeah the vn was fun... LOTSA fun!

Had shortened pedders sports rider shocks all round, custom 600 pound springs, white rear sway bar & front strut brace, nolathane bushes, manual 5spd 3.8ltr, mini spool with 4:11s, exhaust, bucket seat, 17inch BBS's and thats about it!

Had no dramas torching 2nd & 3rd gear at calder lol.

sweet, car sound nice too but it sounds like your in the wrong gear, maybe 2nd? bump up to third through the esses and slot into 4th coming onto the straights, it will extend your munji's (short) into oh-munjis (longer).

Yes definately not the right gear... it was my first time on a track with that car (besides the sandown drift training day) so I was a little scared of 3rd to be honest! But that was only for the 1st half of the day untill i built up the courage in the afternoon! Was about 9799800 times longer/better/smoother/faster.

Ive been practising 3rd gear a fair bit so i definately wont be using 2nd again at the next track day... :thumbsup:

    • 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
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • 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.
