Still waiting to pick up my car. It was supposed to be a 6 working day wait for the compliance plate and has been 8 so far!

Ahh man I had this crap with them also. Ended up taking almost 3 weeks for me. Hope it's faster for you.

6 days? Sure he didnt say 6 weeks?

I was told 3 weeks and took 5 or 6. Took longer because of a long weekend. 6 days sounds optimistic especially with easter coming.

It didn't bother me because I had to sell my old car, ended up selling 2 weeks before I picked up the car.

I hope it's not 3 weeks! I haven't paid for the car yet so if he wants this bank cheque it's in his best interest to get it ready..

They told me 6 weeks to get me one from Japan but 6 days to have the one in the yard complied.

I don't NEED it immediately but I'm keen to start fiddling around with it as soon as possible, my new hobby.

If anyone has any ideas on how I can get my money back and out of my contract I will drive over and buy this car immediately???? HELP!

ring him and tell him if he doesnt return your deposit you will dob him into the authorities for complience issues. ie not changing tyres until you called him out on it. Im sure he will not want that coming down on him.

I'd walk away from $1000 to buy Chris's car.

You would have to spend at least another $10,000-$15,000 (I would bet that would be the tip of the iceberg) to have the work done in the manner it has been done to his car.

You are right...I bought Chris's car this afternoon. Picking up tomorrow.

    • 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.
