the top pippig im really wanting to replace coz as you may see when they put it on it started hitting the bonnet, so i had my mechanic try and lower it as much as he could coz it was rubbing pretty bad

Yep but you will find that is a bigger job than you think as you will need a different intercooler setup etc

yea im just concerned that if it rubs a hole in it im kinda dead in the water

Pack race tape :P Lol, no really you should have the pipe modified to stop the rubbing! Plenty of other cars running that style piping without issues :yes:

yea its lowered now and isnt touching as far as i can tell but if you look at it in real life the way they placed stuff and the cheap rubber piping seems weird. btw a quick qestion with the stock turbos should they constsit with its boost or should it patter out around a certain rmp then kick in again ? or should i have that looked at? lol

first turbo so im still figuring out how it should ride and what it should feel like with the mods he put on it.

i dont know the boost or horsepower yet for sure, need to wait a month to get the cash together to put it on the dyno and have it serviced. but from what the guy i got it from he said it was 187kws and boosted to 14 psi and after a fortnight of driving it i very much doubt that is real.

yea im taking it to millennium motorsports and putting it on the dyno there and he said he would make sure its boosted safely and rework the boost for different gears so i dont get 14 psi on first gear etc. so im hoping that will fix her. apart from that shes a great car even has the factory sunroof =). clean inside just need to remove that pink crap from the skyline on the back and pull off the gtr badge.

Lol well report back with how it all goes mate!

Gotta go, talk later!

Fix the weak spot. turns out the turbo smart machanic boost controller was stuffed and pissing out pressure, running like a dream now all thanks to cyifly from these forums meeting up and having a look at her for me. awsome guy and god damn his car is a BEAST! lol

    • 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.
