Ring Anthony at Turbotechnics. Tell him the guy with the burgandy skyline sent you and he will do you a good deal. He has done these before. He is real good with RB's

Call Anthony on 49565466

TWO.06L off here is the best builder of an RB around here. No questions. If he will do it for you, you'll have to pm him and ask nicely I'd say. This is if you want it done very well, be prepared to pay for the quality ofcourse. Wouldn't bother if you are looking for a budget solution.

Thanks psybic, yes we do all our own engines...and customer engines too. Although our head work is outsourced as the guy we use is simply too good. We are not budget builders, but in saying that i rarely see quality offered cheaply.

Yep I have been discussing this with Paul already :D

i dont think i will take it to Syd, just a pain to get it down there when I cant really drive my car. Also I have heard mixed opinions about Hunter Thomas. One of my mates reckons the's the best and then i have a couple others who reckon the's a rip off! Well i got myself a few months to decide because of lack of funds :)

Seeing you created two of these thread's phil, i see my other comment has gone astray!

But i also would get ye ol' locals at DiRTgarage to make your engine healthy again. As stated by paul, you cant comprimise on quality when it comes to a rebuild. And im sure he'll do a great job for ya.

(Btw Paul, finally got all those darn defects cleared too :D !)

Haha, i asked that question a few months ago too!

I got mine from:

http://www.pixelcars.com/

However, when i tried to access the site then - it wouldn't load up.

Apparently the owner got fed up with paying for his forum to be hosted or something....

So i dunno where you can get one from now!! :P

Maybe Paul or Stace will give you some tips :P

Hope the rebuild plans are in full swing for ya!

-Dave.

      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.

      Lock up the old for sale / wtb threads.

      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.
