The upright part of the seats are bolted at the bottom and clip in at the top, and the bottom part clips in at the rear and bolts at the front. if they arent clipped in or bolted tight they will rattle, check to see that they are, unfortunately you have to take them apart to check.

If they are anything like the R33 GTS-T seats, they have kinda hook things that MUST go over the attachment at the back in order for them to sit right. If they dont sit right, they will rattle. Simple fix is to take the seat out and put it back in properly.

Again, thats for the R33 - i'm not sure if its the same as the R32.

You're sure it's not the rear suspension? have you got aftermarkets in there?

I have Apexi N1's and mine rattle all the time... Im not sure what it is causing it, but its quite noticable, and sounds like the seat rattling...

If it is the suspension I had a rattle like that after new rear shocks were put in, I took it back and they couldn't find anything wrong!!! Ended up taking it to Kieth for wheels in slacks creek and they hadnt located the shock porperly on the bottom (apparently easy to do) no harm done.

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      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.
