For those who have found a (one) huntsman in their car, I seem to recall hearing that huntsmen pair up (not sure if for life) so if you find and kill one, you probably have its other, very pissed off, mate/partner in the car with you as well.

On that note, safe driving. (and I wonder if they found a nice place to lay their eggs)

oohh that one behind the clock looks nice. yummy

had me a spider in my shower the other nite. it was trying to climb up the wet screen. it kept on falling down. amusing, but SOMEONE(looking in cocos direction) would die. i used to be terrified beyond beleif of spiders when i was younger, (prob because i used to live in a infested house. whenever i went into the bathroom i used to check every possible place a spider could be before showering. uhhh.

my cats name is coco

im so glad to see im not alone. i almost had an accident when a huntsman crawled out onto the sunvisor in front of my face. i swerved off the road into a driveway and jumped out. refused to go within 5 metres of the car until i could see the dead carcass. my mate thought it was hilarious until he realised i was serious and had to find it and kill it before we could go anywhere.

Somehow just having the link the these fella's in this thread didn't seem to be enough.

But they are not as big as they look, that's the dude's sleeve on the right of the picture.

Still big enough but!!

coco, they've probably nested in your airvents, so when you put your heater on full blast their spawn are gonna come flying out at you and sting you to death...

ffs they're just spiders, they're intelligent enought to know that if you f**k with a 6 foot mammal you'll most probably gonna end up gettin squished. they use their venom to hunt shit to eat, and they know they can't eat you. they'll only use it on you if you act like a tard n poke it with a stick or something like that.

Whitetails on the other hand are the bastards of spiders... they'll sting you just to confuse you so they can make a quick retreat, unfortunately their sting makes body parts rot. :(

lmao... :(

id like to see coco in a car during a 45 degree day. He'd be too scared to turn on the air conditioning knowing that... i wonder if he'd rather have a heat stroke than turn on the AC

But like funky said, huntsmen are probably scared more of us than we are of them so im pretty sure if a spider could do a "get-this-human-off-me" dance it would be worse than coco's trademarked one.

My suggestion is to confront your phobia, possibly take a bath with a tub filled with huntsmen... just like on Fear Factor (god i wanna go on that show).

That is just nasty !!

Is that a hunstsman in the picture above ?

I am scared witless of spiders and the biggest ones you get in the uk are about 1/10 that size !! there is no way I could even contamplatedealing with something like that bite or not it is feckin huge !

I once had a spider deop off my sun visor in front of me was about 3cm across including the legs and I nearly crashed my car. I think I'd just pass out if one of those bad boys jumped out on me.

Dont trust little spiders they are sneeky bastards. :)

Big spiders do have a few advantages:

1. its harder for them to hide.

2.you can here them comming (the 8 footsteps)

3. when they bite you its easy to tell. The limb is missing or the puncture marks are the size of bullet holes. :skull:

Yeah we get decent sized spiders at my place all the time, it's an old 2-storey wooden place so there's heaps of places for them to hide and they've had many many years to do so. It's pretty common for us to get spiders the size of my palm, and not surprising to occasionally find one nearly as big as my whole hand. It's farkin excellent when we have exchange students... :bahaha:

When Mum's rellies from England came here a few years back, they spotted a daddy long legs, crapped themselves a bit but after an hour or so they were OK. Then one of them spotted a huntsman (one of the biggish ones that goes out about one knuckle from the palm) on the wall in the bathroom and they very nearly booked into a hotel :D

lmao @ 4ds, funny stuff mate :)

when they byte you

Haha nerd :)

    • 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
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • 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.
