Hey everyone,

Ive been workin bulkload theses holidays to fix up my car and get it up to the condition which im happy with. I hate drivin my car right now cuz it honestly looks like a thrashed whore. Work to be done is:

400r bumper being fitted + painted etc.

400r sideskirts to be fitted painted etc.

Rear pods to be fitted+ painted etc.

(Bodykit ive alreadi purchased)

Rear quarter panel being fixed (Backed into a fence)

Whole car "touched up paint job" which is garunteed to look as new.

This will include ATLEAST the front side panels + bonnet being resprayed as they were repainted in acrylic after my accident and arent color matched (THAT work was not done by my uncle).

All work will be done in tupac (spelling???) paint.

My uncle is doin all the work and has quoted me $1600 (family rate). I rekon this is a real good price and i KNOW the work will be first class as he is a professional and has promised to bring it up to mint condition.

Feedback im asking for is rough estimates of that work being done at other panel shops. ie. no mates-rates and also what the estimated value of my car would be. It is a series 1 1993 manual gts r33. Has k&n pod, magna flow 2.5inch zorst, $1800 sound system, 16inch after market rims with falken rubber.

Negative comments are welcome AS long as they are tasteful. Just looking for feedback.

Cheers, Paul

P.S. promise to post pics once car is back.

400r bumper being fitted + painted etc. - $400

400r sideskirts to be fitted painted etc. - $350

Rear pods to be fitted+ painted etc. - $200

Rear quarter panel being fixed (Backed into a fence) - $1500 depending on whether glass is taken out etc

Those are estimates based on my experience with reputable panel beaters

Once all of that work is done I would pay $17-20k for your car

      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.
