hey guys,

Just starting a new thread for this.

Ray (SXR) from RE customs has kindly offered us the use of his workshop on thursday night. What do you think everyone, is it do-able??

The shop is just off Westall rd, right near the corner od westall and dandy rd in springvale.

;)

I'm stressed just thinking about this... :D

Really Dave??

That would be awesome too mate, thanks for the offer. I was a little worried about taking it to RE as I didn't want Ray to have to stay around all night while we attempt to fix my box (that one was for you Bec!). So that may be the better option. I should know everything I need to know by this evening, so I'll keep everyone informed.

Bec: hahaha I wanted to, but was wary of the female audience ;)

Not too sure yet, should know evrything by this evening. I'll find out about the TV :D

Yeah it is. It's still driveable, it just doesn't like low speeds in first and second gear, or going into gears all the time...

Nothing needs to be replaced as far as I'm aware, and the flywheel should be fine. It was all out of the car last week, and everything was fine, apart from some minor hairline fractures in the clutch plates. But I may leave that until the off season to fix

So just old box out and new box in?

Should be easily done in one night. Even with only 2-3 ppl.

What time we starting?

Make sure you have things like new oil, WD40, rags, oil pan (ice cream containers)

I'll bring jack, jack stands and tools.

yep, just old out and new in. The only issue is with the rear main seal, which may require some silicone around it due to block damage.

Do I put shlt oil in, then good oil once it's run in, or just good stuff straight away?

Ahhhhh cool cool

I'm not too sure about kick off time, it's up to you guys, and possibly Dave??

Ray has also offered me a pretty good price and can do it this week, so maybe that could be the best option as I feel a little bad about putting everyone out like this...

Just have to see whether I can russel up the money to do it.

I've just spoken to Sam and he's informed me that the clutch may need the rebuild ASAP, and would really advise against putting the box in the car without doing it as it's not disengaging properley.

So it looks like I'll have to do that before I do the box...

Thanks so much for the offers guys, I really appreciate it, but I'm going to have to hold off I guess until I can do the clutch rebuild...

:)

    • 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.
    • 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.
