Hi everyone,

Tried running searches on this but didn't really given the answers I was looking for.

Wanting to replace the factory head unit from my '99 R34 GTR Vspec (has the factory sat Nav which is pretty much useless here in Aus).

Couple of questions.

Is there a wiring loom/harness 'off the shelf' that I can buy and connect to the standard stereo plugs to connect up to an aftermarket unit without having to cut and solder wires?

Also understand that I will need to convert the antenna lead to pick up radio here. Looking to install a unit with DAB radio and digital TV so is there a special antenna conversion lead that I need here?

Lastly, there were hell of a lot of plugs/wires from the factory sat Nav unit that are now redundant because I've pulled out the unit. Anyone know the best way to rips these wires out as it is taking up a lot of space and just want to tidy up cables.

Happy for anyone here that runs an audio shop to give me indicative costs for the labour here. Based in Canberra but occasionally head up to Sydney on weekend to visit folks.

Also happy for any ACT forum members that know how to do this. Will pay in beers and friendship :)

Thanks

      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.

      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.
