kabab i think is correct, if you have registered as a 4 seater then you have to have 4 seats, but when registering again u must specify that its a 2 seater.......if thats even possible for an import im not sure.

Easy, you can fit a full set of slicks in the back when you take the seat out. Can't even fit 1 rim in the boot.....

i can only comment about the ACT .... my brother happens to be a vehicle inspector .. fortunately not one of your regular rego nazis :thumbsup: anyhow, we were talking cars a bit back and a friend asked just that question ... basically you can take the back seat out of any (import or not) as long as you remove all seat belts and sign some doco (stat dec methinx) which means your car now only handles 2 people

Is that still going to be the case this year with SEVS and things in general ( like compliancing) just getting tougher? I was reading something 2 mths ago and it was talking about having to get your car re-complied after each mod to say that it's "safe" for road use in Aus. :confused:

I really don't know what impact SEVS will have ... I'm not too sure anyone really does ... my understanding of SEVS is that it is the most blatant attempt market protection I have seen for ages and is a complete crock of shite ... they have nothing to do with safety, just money .... I'm not bitter, I promise

yes i think your about right aleks.. there tryin to protect jobs that are in makin cars here rather then the car makers actually making cars we like at a nice price that we prefer over imports...

46n2, basically you car in new system has to be stock to import, if its not, aftermarket things have to be replaced with stock items, and compliancer have to provide evedence they destroyed aftermarket itesm...

      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.
