they always do.....

um up to about $12K on the line in the last 6 months :) ooh well should go hard.

thats pretty damn cheap for paint.. but its only acryllic .. why not go for 2 pak paint? but then again your already on the costs.

our AE is almost ready for painting.. been undercoated and is still halfway through the rub back... still reckon at least a month til its done....

im in the search at the moment for an ae86, with fuel pricers rising the skyline becomes more and more a weekend only car.

i've always been a fan of the ae86, my mate has own 3; aus levin with 4ac then aus levin with 4age swap and now he has a jap ae85 tureno coupe.

i just want to find myself a nice clean ae86 i really like the tureno soo its going to be soo hard to find one cheap, i might just end up getting aus spec levin and going a 20v swap and put some quads on it

thats still a popular mod in Japan... just get the black top 20v as it has more power std than the silver top.

That's actually a mate's car that's being race-prepped (sitting next to my AE86), which I tried the kit on as it already had all the panels off. Its got a full cage in it (only half of it in while we redo the wiring in the car).

I can get em from Japan, but as I said, they're not cheap ;)

my mates car. i have more recent photos of it but i am in the us on my laptop so this is all i have

where abouts did he get the rear wing??? and how much?

and how did it get attached ... we wanna put it on the sprinter.. but need to get one and figure out the attachment before we continue the prepping.

    • 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.
