Well the decision was made not to go with another stock NEO as the risk of failure again with the new EFR setup was too high! It was OK belting around the track on 300kw with the old setup but the big

I agree, hard pipes are a better idea but welding a bend to the turbo makes it almost impossible to sell. Straight joiners on a cast alloy 90 may be a little better but it will limit your power as the internal diameter is much smaller.

I was running 40psi through mine, 2 inches from the maifold. Perhaps yours is just too close, can you spin the housing a little?

There are some great heat insulating and heat reflection products out there these days, no need to change the setup imo.

I run a 45deg silicon bend exactly the same as yours, on the track punishing it for 20 mins at a time running 21psi it was fine. Has held up to two of those track days now. But as scotty said, mine sits probably 4-5 inches from exhaust manifold and has zero issues.

I dont think resale is an issue as i am so happy with the results and performance i dare so i wont feel the need to change :)

Ill try the alloy elbow off the housing as i dont want to restrict any performance!

Good point about rotating the housing, that is something i hadnt thought of and will have a look, could be possible even if its just a bit...

Yep so i think mine is too close to the mani for one as i can only just get my hand between it.

Ill just get it welded up and do it right this time i think! I need to eliminate any potential problems!

So the car has its new home and i will try get my tools and stuff across there on the weekend! I think the shed will need its own build thread so i can come up with some designs... At this stage i am working on something like this -

Then maybe i should coat this white and do the white writing on the tyres? :rofl:

So, no real updates here... Moving house took a lot longer than expected and since doing that we have had no internet and no phone service hence we have been in the stone age!

I have started working on the shed as planned and its coming together as per my rough floor plan -

Also, The LOWDOWN.com guys now have the pics online from the JEM shoot, check out the workshop feature if you get a chance -

As some of you know the car is back at its second home.... JEM....This visit is just to fix a few weak spots we found at the track day....

Hopefully when it returns to the road it will also be quite capable on the track, 2014 will be more focussed on track days and hopefully will get some good laps in without issues!

This photo is thanks to Mr Paul Kelly :D -

      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!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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.

      Lock up the old for sale / wtb threads.

      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.
