I was under the impression that to get a licence (at least in Vic), you had to be able to parallel park. Why then did some dufus (on Ps) ask me to park his car today while I was working out front of a police station!?

i dont remember i was stoned when i got mine.

What i do remember though is failing twice

1. Not coming to a "complete" stop at a stop sign = instant fail would of passed otherwise

2. Sitting at red traffic light apparently a green arrow was up for what must of been a microsecond cause i didnt see it and again instant fail..

the stupid thing is despite me driving for over 5 years without a licence and without incident they saw me as unfit to drive... Fuggin rules ay! Cant live with em cant live without em :laugh:

Everyone freaks about the parallel park but my instructor told me they have to give you a huge amount of room to perform it. Makes it quite easy. I actually found my 3 point turn more difficult because the tester made me do it in the narrowest alley he could find.

iirc from when i did mine and what my instructor told me back then; they would like you to reverse parallel; but if they can't find a good spot they tell you to 3 point turn.

but for the reverse parallel; you've only got to park behind one car; and you get 7metres or so that you can reverse behind it, LOL.

and four gear changes. so you can reverse, forward, reverse, and forward again if you need to i think. so no dramas :P.

      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.
