Starts with a K :P

Nothing wrong with a bit of limiter once engines warm, though I generally try to avoid it. (on my new car even more so)

DING DING DING DING DING 100 internetz!

Woulda been up for it earlier in the day...need some daytime mountain run.

Good or bad for the engine, I never understood the appeal to limiter bashing. I like to keep going forwards in a progressively faster manner...

Not really lol, I got the price I wanted for it, he can drive it as he pleases. Just wouldn't recommend anyone buying it from him for more than 2k lol

Yeah of course he can drive it how he wants and happy that you got the price for it! But if I built a car up like you did, seeing some dickhead thrash it around, and end up majorly f**king it up would annoy me because of the emotional attachment. I mean you'd probably never know, but you get what I'm saying man.

That's quick! What happened to 12 month wait? Our 18 month wait for 86 has been upgraded to ~6 months too.

Dat extra allocations to Australia ;) Took them long enough. So by the time mine arrives it would have been 8 months wait rather than the original quoted 12 months. If someone were to order now, it wouldn't be nearly as long. I think they realised catering predominantly for the US market and then having cars sitting there unsold wasn't a good thing when demand clearly outweighed supply in places like Australia, even if our market share is so small (I think I read 3%)?

Test driving another one next weekend :)

    • 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.
