There's an R33 shell on ebay. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/R33-gtr-v-spec-rolling-shell-gt-r-rb26-rb26dett-skyline-/301096121649

I recently fitted a new fan clutch (Davies Craig Part No. 5265) to my R32 GTST. When the engine is cold the fan disengages as it should but once the engine is warmed up, at normal operating temperatures, the fan is running full speed. The temperature gauge in the car is sitting slightly above half way which has always been normal for this car and under bonnet temps are fairly low. I think the new clutch is engaging too early, but would like to test it. I assume if I put the clutch in a pot of water and heat it I should see the thermostatic spring unwind when it gets to the temperature where it engages, but what temperature should that be?

Location?

Postage on the radiator fan to Melbourne 3042? Thanks.

Winton practice is on Fridays. Link Did the new intercooler arrive yet?

Tank to tank = 700mm End to end (including flanges) = 760mm Its close. Might fit.

Russ, I've got a greddy M spec if you want to test it. I'll measure it tomorrow, but I think it should fit. Its on my car, but as usual my car never gets driven so you're welcome to pull bits off it. It was a fairly cheap kit so probably isn't the greatest core, I have no idea how well it flows but you could test it. If it works we can sort something out, at least until superlap. Let me know if you want to try it.

Talk to me before you advertise it. I'm interested in the whole setup.

Hey Russ, I've been planning on calling you about these for months. I didnt realise you had advertised them. I still need tyres (I haven't driven the car since the last DECA). Do you think the 245s will fit ok on an 8in rim?

That was the problem. Thanks for your help.

A couple of weeks ago I bought a rebuilt rb20 gearbox off ebay to replace my perfectly functional but very noisy (bearings) box. The seller couldn't find the receipt from the rebuild, so I have no idea what was done or if it was really rebuilt at all. From what he told me synchros on 3rd and 4th had been replaced and he didn't know what else had been done. Yesterday I had the new box and a new clutch fitted. All gears select fine, but it keeps jumping out of 3rd gear. All other gears appear to be fine, but I haven't driven it much yet, so I can't be certain. It is always while deccelarating and usually at about 3000rpm. What could cause it to jump out of gear?

Hey Dano, got any pictures that show the dint?

Racer Industries had a store in Kensington but I think it has closed now. You could try giving them a call. http://www.freewebs.com/racerindustriesmelbourne/

Thanks, but I'm out due to work.
