Hey guys, bought the mrs a new car after selling her 'Holden Astra Lemon'. Its a Black 1992 R32 Gtst Manual and its in terrible condition. pinch.gif

We bought it with around 170,000km on the clock. It has rediculars sun damage on the exterior and interior, but we only paid $4k for it rolleyes.gif

I'll be posting pics soon as i have already started the project and bought some parts.

BTW this is my first real build as i haven't done much to my R34, or worked on RB20's before, so ill be needing plenty of help with different things along the way, I look forward to your comments!

So there you go! thumbsup.gif

After a bit of a look around for some spare parts we found an ad in the classified section that suited our needs perfectly as the seller was in townsville and had pretty much everything that we needed for the interior laugh.gif

THANKS sLyLinE.32!!!!

Here are some pics of the parts we picked up

We also grabbed a new centre console because the original lid had shattered underneath the leather, and we got new air vents for the dash! very cheap too!

And finally some small progress on what we have done to the car so far...

Looks like a good starting point mate, a bloke came into my work once about 4 months ago, he had a 32 in way way way worse condition then this, almost all the clear was worn off, interior was destroyed all he really had was a drivers seat and a steering wheel. althought he had a big 26/30 under the bonnet, man it was good fun going for a test drive :). All the best, watching with interest

    • 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.
