ok well i know there a current post about what to bring back from the land of the rising sun if you had the choice.

however, in this case i do. parents going over for business, and shipping some corporate things back, now i cant have anything too massive, i.e. body kits wheels. ect.. and it doesnt nessesarily have to be shipped back.

just wondering (under 500) what can i get for the car worthwhile over there that i cant get here. open to sugestions in performance and cosmetic/styling category.

i got a 95 33 with minor mods; cooler, exhaust ect..

cheers

too hard I'd say to try and get your parents to do some performance part shopping. I would do this:

ask them to go to a book shop/magazine shop and get a few option mags, drift tengoku, GTR magazine, hyper rev etc, whatever you are into.

ask them to go to a hobby shop and buy some nice models, JGTC skyline models are pretty sweet.

and finally ask them to bring back something really japanese.

cool thanks. yeah i have no idea about japan. only that i enjoy the cars the've made. any nismo stuff from keyrings hats, models, stickers sounds the go. plus maybe some mags. thanks guys. i know 500 is a bit of a small limit, to go performance wise.

although.. are say a bosch 044 or wallbro, or tomie equivilents any cheaper over there??? all that jap writing and yen stuff confuses the hell outta me.

thanks for your replies too.

But as Beer Baron said, it is quite hard to find performance parts shops in Japan, they are not often in the main touristy parts. It might take your parents the best part of a whole day to get out and find somewhere.

I made it to a SuperAutobacs when i was in japan.. It was ok to have a look but really is no different to Autobarn in Australia, except with more cup holders and a few sets of Rays wheels.

Maybe see if you can get someone to buy something from yahoo auctions for you and get it sent to your parents so they can take it home for you?

      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

      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.
