good stuff. do some lessons and u will learn the proper way to drive, then u wont pick any bad habits up when u go for your licence. just remember u only have to go for your licence the once, then u can drive how ever feels comfortable for you. but up until you get your licence, try to drive like the rule book says, then u will definately get it.

im gald im not the most inexperianced driver here....pwew!

i drive everywhere, right now just getting used to tricky lane changes and everything that involves slow large turns....aka parking reversing out or driveways u-turns in streets etc

aparrantly my gearchanging isnt as great as i thought it was......

love you ian!

Oh yeah, so good luck man, we'll see you out on the road in no time

im waiting for some good incomes to get me some lessons, my dad learnt australian licence rules 16 years ago, and before that was in the army in poland.......so really she pulls me up for little things like hands on 11 o clock and 2oclock "i should be doing" but really the test doesnt care more or less ....(depending the dude guy thing *blonde moment........blank*)

but so yeah, good on ya man, if you need any hints call on us

Just remember dude. Hands at 9 & 3! 10 & 2 is old school, if your parents or driving instructor tell you otherwise they are just simply wrong, hands at 10 & 2 means if the airbag goes off, it hits your hands/arms and does a lot more damage.

So 9 & 3 :laugh:

BTW, do a defencive driving course as soon as you can! It will help.

      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.
