better not be too much down here (nsw qld border) i have a game of golf on tomorrow morning...

no offence meant buddy, but surely a some decent rainfall for you guys down there is a little more important than golf..... from what we hear up here you guys are in a serious drought......

It's not that bad, it's just that the rain dosen't fall where it is needed due to bad planning of dam location many years ago.

fair as nuts

was down on the border of vic/nsw last november at is is shocking down there

at least we can wash our cars up here :)

I wouldnt go that far, as there arent that many options for damn placements... But thats another story. You say its not that bad, wait for level 5 next month :) Thats going to hurt a bit more than people may think.

No I meant that it isn't that bad as far as rainfall levels go. My grass is green and the weeds are going strong without any additional water. If I had a rainwater tank, I am sure that it would have overflowed plenty of times. Just when you go out west (Ipswich area) that you notice it.

its rained here pretty much every nite of the week this week (well, there was water on my back deck in the mornings anyway)

we did get a good thunderstorm about a month ago though.... best for years.....

my oldies are still back in cairns, cant believe dry its been up there

they loved the storm the other nite when the lions played the saints and it was a big bog

not like cairns to be dry . . ..

ha ha putting a dam on the largest catchment by far in our area is a heaps bad Idea

Well where has it got us? Why all this talk about puting a dam in the Gympie area?

Common sense states that you will always get more rainfall east of the hills (ie. Mt Glorious, Nebo). It's all well and good puting in in a big catchment area, but if that catchment area isn't going to provide much water in the future then it's not much use.

There are plenty of other options out there. Look at how much water goes into the storm water system and then out to sea. Rain water tanks should have been thought of by the government years ago, not just now.

    • 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.
