They run these events for all enthusiasts Erin - and you're no exception so...

definitely...

a) get the bodywork and rims/tyres squeaky clean (including behind the fuel filler flap)

b) clay bar the panel work

c) polish the car and get out the swirls

d) apply sealer

e) apply canauba wax

f) get rid of every shred of grime in the engine bay, and coat the plastic bits.

One extra hint:- as the judges come around, ask them if they'd like to check behind the fuel filler flap.

Q. Why?

A. Guys always forget to clean that compartment.

You girls are always good at asking questions. You might as well put it to advantage! :thumbsup:

erin - what do you want to do that for? like, really... what do you wanna enter it in a show n shine?

i mean - if you're proud of it and it doesn't cost money to enter you have nothing to lose..

but really - if it's going to cost $200 like autosalon does...

...then why bother? why pay $200 so that some idiot can "scoff" at your entrance?

that $200 could go towards a lot nicer things for your car :)

furthermore... while i'm getting my rant on...

...i have NEVER understood why car owners are made to PAY to enter THEIR CARS into autosalon..

i mean - you go to a music festival - the bands and dj's get paid as they are the focal point of the event, the organisers pay them money because without them... there would BE no music festival?

so why does every car entrant have to pay so much money, when without them - there would BE no autosalon?

I've been saying that for years.... it's because the organisers are in it to make money. But without the cars, there would be no show... Entry should be free or THEY should even pay the competitors to put their cars in!! Why put in all the time and effort, just to have a bunch of people walk around looking at your car and if it's worthy maybe take a few pics... maybe get a trophy? big deal, people see my car every time I drive it on the road :laugh:

      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!

      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.
