Hi guys n Gals,

well my pride and joy got shafted by some space cadet SAAB driver today :kiss:

i was coming up to a red light camera intersection and the lights changed, i didn't want to risk a fine so put the anchors on and pulled up

a sec later i hear a screach look into my rear vision mirror and bang crazy bat was day dreaming and run right up my ar#e .........not impressed

rear is all out of wack and my exhurst is farked, just before the cat its bent almost at a right angle. car feels a little unsettled in the back now to but might just be me.

anyway i'm insured with Famous ......tried to call, but getting no answer just some message telling me to call back later (didn't specify working hours), not overly impressed with that.

has anyone had a claim with them ??? How were they to deal with ??

cheers

I can vouch for Famous, 2 of my mates wrecked jap imports without a third party involved, each car had been modified with the usual.

The representative came out and had a look, lodged the paper work and it was done!

I am also with famous myself, haven't needed to make a claim though. So far I have been impressed.

One thing you have to remember is that there office is in Perth, so if you are on the east cost you have to remember the time difference.

Unfortunately they don't have an emergency line though, so you have to do it all in working hours.

Cheers

just so you are aware, famous are in WA, so they are a couple of hours behind in time for their opening hours...I've made a not at fault claim with them few years ago, very efficient. If you have called outside working hours you will get that message.

      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.

      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.
