Ahhh.... Makes sensenow ;)

I live in Cottesloe, saw car in Mossie park... (I'm your neighbourhood RAC battery dude :-)

I work at MSC on McCabe St which is next to that place. Have seen many TVRs there but never a Tuscan. And yeah Lancia Stratos as well as many other uncommon cars. Lots of kit cars. And boats like you said.

Also saw Miles' car there ages ago jacked up getting suspension upgrade :)

These are available in Australia !

There as common as WRX's in the UK and only about GBP40K over there.

Tuscan is definately the cream of the crop for looks from the TRV stables.

Q. How you scam the thing into the country ? They wouldn't let me bring back a S8 Audi :-(

yeah the tuscan is pretty ugly i think, all the rest are ok like the chimaera, they look like normal cars not a space ship :P. but still crazy car, i wouldnt knock one back if i was given one :D they do look nice just not up close.

b005t: we had a green Chimaera and sold it for the tuscan cause it wasn't fast enough, they are still nice though

Kidd: The Tuscan and Chim have never had a problem and i have driven a Cerbera that lives in perth quite a few times also when we had it on loan (yes for more than half an hour) and no major problems as yet

Steve: HA, thats ok, after the lights turn green you wont have enough time to scratch your own ass when after you've been handed the chop. Your right actually your pulsar is much more pleasing to the eye, that bonnet is so sexy...

    • 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.
