Oh good, excuse my scepticism. Assuming you have a link branded exp cable, your yellow wire (PIN7) going to expansion port 1 is an output, not an input. Just going by what the software says.

 

Would hate someone to find incomplete information. Unless of course, the hardware has changed from whatever vipec you have to whatever the current link is.

Yellow goes to temp 2

Yes, for the current spec link plug ins tho, as you can see there are 2 exp ports, with only exp 2 having temp inputs.

Just wounding if anyone know if you have to have a specific oil sensor to work with the vi-pec or if any 5v sender will do the job?

I bought one from Link for about $150 but in hindsight I should probably have bought a $30 one. At the time (about 6 years ago) there were a lot of $150-$200 ones on ebay but now there seem to be none which suggests that people have realised the cheaper ones work fine.

Funny you should mention that. I recently got 2 x $30 jobbies, both duds.

 

Ended up getting a $120 one that is ethanol compatible (was for fuel pressure).

 

You can get Honeywell sensors for ~$60

      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.
