Hi people, I would like to get some feedback from Brisbane locals on wether it's a good idea to open up a wrecking business in Coopers Plains or anywhere else in Brisbane for that matter.

I will be specialising in Japanese spares (GTR/GTiR/GTS) / Lexus parts (IS200/LS400).

I get told mostly that Brisbane is a very slow city, but I have faith in it, I'm from Sydney but fell in love with Brisbane when I visited it for the 20th time.

Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Zak

sir31.... as a qualified auto elec and a nice person myself... I will NEVER go to all jap again in my life. They made me want to sell my old car and buy an aussie car. I was very upset with the service and threats they said. I will never promote or even think of mentioning their name to anyone.

They looked at meas a little fish who could not affect their business by taking them to court. So ill make it my purpose in life to bag the crap out of them and tell people not to go there. As i am no longer in this industry they cant touch me for bagging them out to others.

I now drive to Cresta on the southside for all my part needs. As as least these guys treat their customers with respect. Thats all i want, parts and if something goes wrong they will offer another one or an exchange or refund. Not a parts they sell are FIRM sale type system.

The fact that the guy took cash and didnt give me a recipt is dodgy. TAX MAN...... OVER HERE...

Then i take it back that afternoon to the same guy.,... "Ive never seen you before in my life"

      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.
