Hi there, so the writing "skyline" has began to fade on the back of my R33 GTS, how are those letters held on? Just by glue? I have a wreckers close to me willing to take the writing off a skyline they have there and give it to me but i was wondering if its as easy as that? Taking it off then re-glueing or will it damage the car badly? Or is there even a place you can buy those letters online or somewhere? Thanks....kinda a newbie with skylines
Here is a link to what the location of the writing (not my car by the way...just a random one off the internet)

I only have Series II rear panels at the moment so I cannot check but I am of the opinion that the letters on a Series I are moulded into the clear plastic panel and then covered in silver/chrome paint.

I do not think that you can simply replace the letters. Examine it closer to see if I am correct.

I was just looking at mine the other day. A little worn now.

The letters are just painted silver from what I can see.

The plastic strip has raised letters on it.

Just have to hand paint them with a small detailing brush I suppose.

Not sure that I'd bother masking around each letter, but it'd be nice to make a template and spray across it in one go. If I do that, I'll try to attach the template on here for others to use.

I'll see how I go by hand first.

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      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.
