I picked up my car yesterday (have it back after 7 months) from the suspension workshop, but the crash shop still have some of the parts and dont return to work until the end of January.

Has anyone got any of these parts I can borrow until then.

1: - turbo out pipe (the black factory one with the nipple for the boost controler) that runs from up near the engine, down the hole under the air pod.

2. - A Profec B boost control unit (just the black box that sits in the engine bay)

3: - the bracket that holds up the stock air box from underneath. (so I can mount MAXX's Cold air partition properly)

4: - A lid for one of MAXX's cold air partitions.

I know they put in a last minute rush to try and finish my car for christmas, but at this stage I am not happy with the quality of some parts of the job. I believe they are expecting the car back (when they return) to fix some bits up, but the parts listed above are just careless ommissions on their part.

At least I'll be able to cruse around in the car again.

I have a turbo out pipe (with nipple) off my car Guy

Don't worry about the lid for the cold air partition - it is not the be all and end all - driving without it is ok for a while

Use nuts and bolts to secure the CAI from below - I am pretty sure you need no bracket

Failing all that I have a spare R33 air box and associated bits sitting here doing nothing

Theres your problem Guy...........

If you havn't had your car for 7 odd months i don't see why they needed to "rush" it to get it too you!! In saying that tho it is good to hear she is back on the road after what you went thru :O

    • 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.
    • 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.
