Hey Russ if you get stuck i have a r32 subframe sitting at home if you get desperate, needs bushings though, a couple of them are cracked/leaking. Otherwise its had an easy life. Most of the rear suspension is still bolted to it though, but can be quickly ripped off with impact wrench. Also various gtr/gtst diff housing and centre/gears.

Well shakedown 2 didn't go too well. Only got 2 sessions in at PI on saturday

You and me both....although for diff reasons. I went to Sandown and was gentle on the motor for the first two sessions checking knock and temps etc...then the rain hit and out went my chance of a PB :(

No matter as I enjoyed the entry to the front straight ;) and I will live to fight another day!

Good luck with the prep/fixes.

I'm in open class.

Haven't tested a GTR cooler yet coz of the need to modify piping. Lots of time has gone into piping so don't wanna have to redo it if there is a better option. Thanks for the offer though.

well i have just upgraded to a 4" thick core for my car so i have the old "hybrid GT spec" branded 600x300x76 (3" in and out) bar and plate core spare.

though if you are looking for a tube and fin design thats not much help.

Ok. What power has it 'flowed'? what's the length end to end? How much?

Put a STD GTR cooler in it Russ! Best flow kw wise and they actually allow air threw to ur rad which is a big problem with all these crappy aftermarket tube and fin/bar and plate coolers!

Just did similar upgardes to my thing, High mount and GTR cooler now making an easy 320kw and running 30 degrees cooler at Sandown!

Seems like you did okay at winton today Russ, you feeling better prepared for Super Lap now?

Yeah mate. Very happy to get a 1:33.7 at winton. Consistent 1:34's with a turn in understeer problem is great. understeered wide at turn 6 (last right kink before the cleavage) and hit a saw tooth ripple strip. Need another alignment now. It wouldn't turn right properly after that :(

    • 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.
