Well she made it there and back in one peice again.

not much issues with the car except for " no good fuel between - Rocky and Mackay on the highway.

knock sensor in powerfc hit 197 at one point where i put in 95 Ron petrol and aclerating from 2800 to 3400 RPM, backed off straight away........ was a pain trying to overtake with engine light constantly flashing if accelerating too hard.

fuel economy - OK 11-12 litres / 100 km.

stone chips very little..................

just dont drive behind anyone thats all, especailly 4wd, trailers and trucks and dont tail gate them either or when they are pulling to the curb. Wait a fair bit back so you wont pick up all the stuff they pick up and theres plenty of overtaking oportunity.

You will cop a fair bit of Bug.

An easy way to sort that is to go to the IGN/INJ setting and just back off the ignition a couple of degrees. I found throwing in some more fuel helped too...

Just have to remember to do it again if you switch off the car...

A friend of mine did Sydney Brisbane-Sydney in the R32 GTS-T.

God I'd love to do that, if it weren't for the restricted speed limit. It's tha long pain of getting there. Driving fast doesn't mean you have to drive stupidly. The european been doing it for years at the autobahn.

      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.
