:) I love how you keep everyone updated on your life story.

:bunny: Selling a house is hardly a life story. Sorry, I thought this was Wasteland :rofl:

But seeing as you asked .....

Life Story entry #315 - Stagea has gearbox problems. Stuck in third gear.

Life Story entry #316 - Agent informs me I have offer of $xxx,xxx on house. Offer accepted.

Life Story entry #317 - Shopping for next toy. Have 30 days to seek new ride.

:blink:

Damn ...

Stagea is stuck in 3rd gear. A/T light flashes at me and stag drives in 3rd gear (since lunchtime today).

LOL, not you too!

The company Ford cranked over very slow (almost like a dead battery) before firing up this morning then put the tranny into limp mode.

Drove very slowly to the nearby Ford dealer and paid the guy $62 just to tell me that there were no codes logged in the ECU.

If I had just turned it off and restarted it again it would've cleared the ECU (that's all he did) but was worried the battery was on its way out and wouldn't restart. :bunny:

I'm about to do an oil change and the best I've come up with is:

So yeah.... I'm interested in getting my hands on motor oil and gearbox/diff oil

Bloody inconvenient isn't it? :bunny:

Gotta drive the silver stagea tomorrow anyways. So the black stag gets the week off anyway.

Well autobarn quoted me $996 for a 20L drum of gear 300, and thats basically retail price. Ive emailed some companies interstate so once i hear back from them I'll let you guys know. If i can get a 60L drum, you guys can just pay me for how much you need.

Have you asked anyone about 300V Chrono?

    • 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.
