holy shit you make me want to give up my v8 commodore! Do you have higher res pics you can send me? I wouldn't mind one for my desktop wallpaper

What the hell you doing on here?! GTFO! :D

HA! Nah nah!! just kidding :) LOL! So you gona get a Skyline... ;)

Tharaka that looks awesome, nice purchase buddy!!!

Hope to see you and the car soon.

So is it a "hiflow VG30" or a "hiflow RB25 with a VG30 ext housing"?

My old turbo (RB25 with a VG30 ext housing) has been fitted to an R34, with an untouched std engine, for the last 2 years. It's making about 273rwkw on 15psi, without any issues, and this guy uses all it's ponies ;). More boost didn't see substantial increases, so 270rwkw is about it's limit.

Nice car in the flesh, saw it when i was on my smoko at work, u drove into the carpark at the back of my work when i was outside, had Ps on it. or am i wrong

Thanks!

Yep, it had P's on it

You work at Rue bar or something?

I remember seeing a Black 33 with a GTR wing in their carpark there

Thanks Al

240 still scares me, especially considering it was raining today...

I want to keep this car pretty reliable, so I might stay under 250.

Well done on the purchase dude. Ben is one of the most fussy pricks I know when it came to keeping that car clean... it's in top condition. The hks ssqv BOV is most annoying :huh:

Haha, I have a HKS SSQV as well. Some people love it, others hate it. But when youre driving through mount dandenong late a night on a cruise, everyone can hear it.

But that car looks mint mate. COngrats on the new purchase. And that should be plenty of power for road use.

Lolz...its ben's car...congrats mate...that has got to be the luckiest R34 around as it had the pissiest and weakest owner before you...i've never seen a car which had an easier life...ben did not do the car justice and it took the rest of us to bring out the car's best...but seriously...great buy...now whack the boost up on that sucker...

    • 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.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
