Paul - I don't think that quite correct because you'll still get some sealing capacity out of it..

Red17 - I'm hoping for something cheap - but somehow I just don't think it's going to work like that...

Ahh - ok.. well we'll find out on saturday right?

I'm going to try to get my hands on a new coil pack for number 3 cylinder as well. I'm thinking it would've been fried due to the kms covered with that dead plug...

Had a compression test done and came up with the following:

1 - 150

2 - 155

3 - 110

4 - 155

5 - 150

6 - 150

Obviously number 3 is way down - but isn't completely dead. The AFRs were measured and everything seems to be ok. I was informed that the plugs being white was fine.

So the next plan of attack seems to be to find out why the plug blew up in the first place. To do this I'm going to get the injectors flow tested and cleaned. They definitely need flow testing first before the cleaning to find out if it was the injector that leaned out or if I have to look further...

Sooo - does anyone know of a place that can flow test and clean injectors? I don't want to have to pull them out myself as I have nowhere to do this work at my house.

was told that if the gap is more than 20 you should do something about it 155-110 is a big gap.

    • 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.
