I know how you guys like pictures :cheers:

The blue one is the hydraulic profile I grind on and the red one is your GTR cam. This graph is what is on the camshaft. You can see what needs to be taken off. The little closing ramp on the blue one demonstrates a very good hydraulic profile made by nissan to prevent fast valve seating and potentially necking the valves.

This one is to give you an idea of what happens at the valve. The red (GTR) profile is smaller because it has had some clearance taken off it. So you can see the gains to be had from this grind. I don't have a GTS grind on the cam doctor (or couldn't be stuffed finding it) but rest assured it is quite a bit smaller again.

Wacol. 4076 Q.

Put a note in there saying what you want along with your details and attention it to me. (Just a general rule for anyonw who wants to do it)

is that near st lucia? 4076 was my new postcode i thought...

Luke, I've been slack and not on for a couple of days but will hopefully get them away today.

Ivan Tighe's huh, had some cam work done there before when it was near the city. Very impressed with the rep and the work done.

As for Qld, give me ummm ......3.5 months and Vic can go to hell, or antarctica, whichever is closest. ;)

    • 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.
