  • 2 weeks later...

ok, BIG stuff happening. spent the weekend stripping the interior and fitting the gear.boot has been redone with grey fabric and rear parcel shelf re-done in black fabric to contrast with the grey/silver, and also with MDF cut to fit (with cut-outs for the rear wiper). head unit in and now centered (standard was off to the left (?), plus doors done...pics to follow when image shack works!!

edit: stuff it...went to photobucket instead! HA!.

Remember...this is a limited money project...i could use vinyl, or something more bling worthy...plus lots of LED's etc...but this is to show what ANY one can do on a tight budget. (well kinda tight). AND this is stage 1..just get it in and working.........later down the track the boot will be upgraded to something more show worthy!!

looks good mate. just a word of caution tho, with yoru sub boxes there, make sure they are secured very tightly to the floor and kept off the rear quarter skin. as a fellow 31 owner, i have seen, and been the victim of objects being pushed against the panel from the inside and pushing dents out when going round corners. its a nasty result.

otherwise, good work! i'm currently working on my own boot setup. where did you get your carpet?? i just bought 60 bucks of auto carpet but they only had a dark grey colour - would have preferred light grey....but oh well.

haha..yes sub box's not secured yet.so i know what you mean...bangbangbash etc... will be done when mate can get car in!.....and there will be a fill panel from the subs to the rear of seat so as to cover up the wheel well, make it all look like a continuous panel.

oh the grey carpet ?? my mate works for Straithfield audio and this is what they have in there install section...nice of him to use it for moi! eh!

AND i also got a 2farad cap in aswell...but didnt take a pic yet..also got LED's and some strobe lights coming soon (HK) so when it's all in i'll get some more pics and maybe even a vid (youtube) of it all working!!

    • 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.
