Hi All,

Just thought I'd put a few words together to say hello. My names Anthony and I've been a member of SAU Vic for the past couple of years. A recent work contract has seen my family and I move from Vic to Perth for approx 12 months.

I have now owned my R33 for about 5 years and being extremely passionate about owning it joined SAU to meet like minded people. I also have an L2S cams licence which enabled me to join the Vic champoinship last year and ended up taking out my class as well as coming 2nd in the overall champ table (check the thread in the vic section) :P .

Now in Perth and expecting my car to arrive in about 4 weeks time, I'm itching to get back on the track and was wondering what kind of track days you guys run and at what tracks (it will prob save my licence too :D ). Also once settled I'd love to join SAU WA (adding another state tag to my collection :) ) and come along to an event or two.

Anway catch up with you all soon,

-ant95gtr.

Hi Ant,

Welcome to WA :P SAUWA participates in MC (motorkhana), if your interested PM Sneeza. If your interested in track days then become a WA Sporting Car CLub member, they have regular track days up at Wanneroo. SAUWA also do regular cruises and social events, so make sure you join up.

Cheers

Paul

Thanks guys.

Cheers for the heads up on the upcoming track days but unfortunately I'm only expecting the beast to arrive next month. As for the drags, I'm not really into 1/4 mile action as circuit racing floats my boat, but might come along to see what times I would run for a bit of fun :(

Paul, I was actually given your name in Vic as a contact thru GTRgeoff. Now I'm a member of a CAMS recog. club and have my cams licence - so do I have to be a member of the WA sporting car club or can I just join their track days?

Topaz - as said above I will miss the track day on the 20th but are there any others planned and who do I contact to join in?

Ant, remind Geoff that he owes me a beer ;) You could still participate up at Wanneroo, but it would cost more if your not a WASCC member, depends how regularly your going to participate. Feel free to give me a call if you want any info (0422 972 195).

Cheers

Paul

Anytime you want to come collect mate.

See Ant, told that they were a good bunch, and all the things the other states say about them is not true.....

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • 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
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • 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.
