well i was driving it today .... put my foot on the clutch then i hear something small fall from under my car... im like wtf??? anyhow then i hear soemthing a lot larger fall from underneath then i hear something being dragged from underneath my car then the pressure on my left foot dissapears from which the clutch pedal makes against my foot so im thinking there is a problem. I take my foot off the clutch and instead of the clutch pedal coming out it stays in agaisnt the floor. i found this funny. so i get out of the car and see the clutch slave cylinder hanging from under the car and resting on the road. after a few phone calls i arranged for some tools, jacked the byuetch up and solved the problem temporary.

im wondering why the hell it just fell out, it seems funny to me oh well.....:)

oh dont worry i will fix it up, notice the 1 bolt as well holding it in place this is because the thread in the other hole is stuffed, i'll fix it though...

oh also today i was driving fast along dandeong road and i saw a cop car in my rear view mirror with its lights on im not sure if it was for me but i conveniently went into the chadstone carpark did a few laps then kept going, i was proud of myself,

pred yes i am back in melbourne but i am going back to japan asap, im going to study japanese for a while then go and work over there, i have contacts :D

      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.
