What an arvo! Thought I'd go get the tyres flipped due to severe inner wear due to the last Clayton place setting the wheel alignment to 8deg toe ? so I went back to the usual tyre shop and they put 2 big splits in the side wall of the tyre while doing it and then tried to say it wasn't them even though they just said it's that bad you can't drive on it as the sidewall was balloning out, then how the hell did I get there on them, then they said they looked fine when they first pulled the wheel from the car, go figure. So after some talks they said they will pay for the new replacement.

Then I get home and check the rims and they have put small scratches and a gouge in all rims ?

For such a simple job I've yet to come across a tyre shop that can do anything without f#cking it up.

The machine clamps on the inside of the rim to get the tyre on or off. Guess they weren't careful.

Sorry to hear, a least you have come to some sort of arrangement.

Yeah just lack of attention and care. Gonna have a go at them tomorrow about damaging the rim lips, can't see anything happening about it though.

*sniff, sniff*

Is that jealousy I smell in your post Alex? I think so. Mmmmm red V35 fronted Stagea...

The black Stagea is full Dolphin PM35 body parts (grill, eye lids, front lip, skirts, rear bar and spoiler). Looks surprisingly good (???!!)

Have started wondering what a Y50 Fuga front end on a Stagea would look like....

That wing is ridiculous though. Not sure if it's the adjustable version, but epically OTT.

Y50 Fuga front end might be ok, if it'll fit. But no one around here would put a different face on their M35, would they? :whistling:

Jealousy of what...?

You like it do you? Its all yours!

I like the black one. Needs a good clean but.

No thanks, that red one burns the back of my eye balls and sears the darkest recesses of my brain

Only those with an NM35 need consider a facelift.

Oh, and it is highly recommended :)

Why? They're 2 very different cars. Ask your mate how quickly & comfortably he can cart a family away camping for a weekend. He'd be embarrassed 'cause he'd have to drive his mums' camry wagon, lol.

Still, I bet it was a nice experience riding in (driving?) a 10 sec GTR. I admit I've never been in a car that quick.

Why embarrassed?

I stopped comparing my car to gtrs or s15s. There is no point. You have to start of thinking you have a wagon!

I can do say, 80% of what a gtr can do. But I can still carry a couch in the back when I want to, and I don't get stalked by cops everyday. That's a win, to me.

yeah yeah I know I know its a different car...

I guess embarresed might be the wrong term. More "disappointed when I stomp on the accelerator and I don't get pinned to me seat"....LOL

I can help with your addiction... :)

I would prescribe another 100kw to put that smile back on your face, but power costs money and lots of it. (as i'm sure your gtr mate has found out.) And you cant control what you have now... Back driving yet? :P

So Scotty, when are you joining the 400kW club?

    • 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.
