great day out and good to see a good crowd. same commentators from years ago too. pity the long walk for people who parked on the road miles away. bring on the 1/4 and off street meets.

It was good to catch up with some familiar faces and some new ones from the SAU crew. 'Build it and they will come'... and boy did the crowd turn up, cars parked along the road for klms in each direction.

It felt just like old times out there today, hey MattyR, MattyT, and Nightcrawler? I can't wait till the return to full 1/4 racing!

I saw Zappia run 4.29 @ 178MPH just before I left at 730pm.

One word; Amazing.

I was there all day, saw the Willall guys, DSTROY and Blue32. Where was everyone else lol.

Work, lol. I found out when I got home that it was going till late, otherwise I would have maybe headed out there to have a gander.

We saw you wandering around in the distance with 2 other blokes at one point when we were on the concrete seats on the Southern side, but since we couldn't see much we wandered over and stood on the inside wall of the track for the rest of the day.

I just remembered I also spotted Heslo and Japstar too. I can't wait for the next one, it was sooooo good. I really enjoyed the motorbike stunts too. Parking was chaos, I got a park right near the ticket booth as I got there early in the day, but leaving wasn't so easy, I was boxed in by 5 cars :/

I can deal with that though, we needed the people!

The AdelaideNow article said more than 10,000, but I've heard it was 3 times that. By 6pm 26,000 tickets had been sold at the gates, with people still coming. That's info from FB. I'm inclined to believe it.

    • 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.
