those look nice there mate, been thinking about getting a new set of boots for the gear boot and hand break, but haven't been bothered as of yet, are they eBay special for like $20 odd plus like $5 for P/H?, if so, can you let me know how they go please

yeah they are, 20 bucks, and 9.90 postage from britania land, the leather is nice. everything fits well, even the rubber top in the gearstick boot. its made to replace the original exactly. i had to trim a little excess around the bottom of the gear boot, and the wire frame in the handbrake boot is a little to soft compared to the original, but hasnt been an issue yet (if it pops out ill add a few dabs of glue).

Mmmm car smells like leather

nice figures mate,

yeah it's sledgehammer like, on another note:

Those who are wanting to cruise down to QR as a group we are meeting at the southbound BP on the highway at 4:30am for a 4:45 leave time, This gives everyone 15 mins to grab some fuel a coffee and a feed.

Make that 4AM just to account for slow people and a quick hello.

been thinking a little lately, i have 2x 10" thermos i want to install into the skyrine, and i was wondering if this would be benificial or would it be better to just get like say a single 16" thermo

Thermo fans are only benificial if you have a shroud for them. There are some shrouds if my memory serves me correct on ebay that suit the standard rad. Control wise, I'm not a hugh fan of the thermo control units that use the probe in the top hose, you would be better off using a thermo switch sender mounted in a bit of stainless pipe in the top hose. If you have an aftermarket computer you can use it to trigger a relay.

happy laps were double as happy!!

track started getting wet again after we had breaky and they asked us to go out again and dry the track off for them (V8 Experience guys).

sry for leaving yas behind, i was in a hurry. Clint you and old mate (forgot his name already) make it thru ok?? i got to the christening about 3 mins late :P close enough for me :thumbsup:

Funny you should mention P plater lancers, there was one acting the fool on the way home in the wet.

I stole that seat fair and square, I have been eyeing off a ride in the wheelchair since it was unveiled.

You'll just have to come up again when it's at lakeside then he can take ya for a real lap.

    • 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.
