Compression rod bushes!

G'day Fellas,
Been lurking somewhat, real quick intro, Oddly enough I'm a classic Peugeot nut and that takes up most of my car building time, however I'm onto my second import Nissan, First was a E51 and I'm now kicking around in an M35 RS4 that I got for a steal while i Finnish off the Pugs 

Bloody AWD! I had a small knock in the front right of the Stag, it has gotten worse so i figgered i should actually chuck it on the hoist, still wrapping my head around late AWD I wiggled, wobbled and whacked everything with-out to much confirmation of anything, to be honest, it looks like i should do all the rubber under there in the future, but money and time is in shorter supply due to the other french commitments.

So after dragging back though posts and suspension diagrams I'v identified where i think its stemming from, the "compression rod" even finding the correct term was an episode, The inner bush is pretty maggoted, There seems to have been a fair bit of discussion in posts on suppliers that all seem to turn into PM's so leads me here, what the flamein heck can i get them?!? i dont mind 'Thane, also, do i really have to pull apart the whole assembly to get it out? 

Is there a mob that will hook me up with a full front end bush kit at a good price? I'v already done TieRods, and the other ball joints "seem" ok

Cheers guys,
Cal

      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.
