I got my aircon topped up the other day (R33).

The guy stuck a thermometer into the vent and left it there while he gassed it up.

Before top-up it was showing 12 deg at the vent. After he'd finished it was showing 4 deg.

Obviously this is an improvement. I'm just wondering what temps others get at the vents.

as if there's bikini babes :no:

now gimme answers.

i guess if it's blowing cold air, but not cold enough, you probably need a regass.

if it's not blowing any cold, then maybe something else is wrong.

whoever you take it to should be able to tell you.

mine was just a top up, and it seems fine now.

Air con will lose a little gas each year and should only need to be topped up every 5-7 years from memory. If you are losing alot of gas and need to top up frequently then there is a leak there somewhere!

Its blowing cold air, but could be colder I guess, my brothers Toyota is really really cold!

How much is a regas? should try to squeeze it in before the start of summer.

cost me $70 for the top up.

Anyone know a good places in the bankstown/st george area for a re-gas?

yeah, the guy i went to is pretty good. he doesnt stuff around.

he's on canterbury rd, at hurlstone park. auto electrician, just a bit down the road from hurlstone park rsl, opposite a service station.

tell him tony with the black skyline sent you.

Sounds good mate thats not too far away. You wouldnt happen to know the exact address or a phone number would you? I might have to get mine topped up, if today is anything to go by this summer is going to be HOT.

    • 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.
