Hey guys.

Getting bored tonight so i might as well try and sus out another of the small probs ive found in the Line

The issue at hand. whenever the handbrake is pulled whilst driving. instead of being offered nice strong rear wheel braking. im given a nice loud screech. (roughly a similar sound to that of tired old brake pads rubbing metal on metal). Anyone had this happen and have a nice easy fix i could do this weekend??

cheers. Luke

the question I have is why are you pulling up the handbrake whilst your car is moving? The handbrake is for hill starts and to stop your car rolling away when it's parked on uneven ground. When you are rolling and want to slow down or stop you use the footbrake.

True. Although it would be nice to have more ways of kicking the back end out then just by using the clutch.

and. they are disc brakes. not drum brakes. 96 S2 R33 gts-t (sorry didnt mention previously)

lol, well fair enough if it's for drift then most likely you have worn it out. and your S2 GTST does have rear drums for the handbrake. you most likely need new brake shoes and possibly the inside of the rotor bell need cleaning up or even replacing (need to replace whole rotor if that's the case).

      We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.

      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!
