Welcome.

From the information previously stated here:

atmo bov should not pass,

ebc should not pass (remove the inside controller and likely to get through)

Timers should pass, might depand on how they are set up.

But I keep mine fairly stock, so haven't needed to do much with complying mods.

the previous was sort of old and looked genuine as he bought an 34, i didn't check the radiator as the car went well, and had the correct support mods but the workshop that installed the engine were only able to give a safe tune to the car. the problem is the radiator has A LOT of black oil and i have lost some oil from the engine when i checked this afternoon.

comment removed, turns out that cooling system wasn't cleaned properly

Glad to see you got it all sorted out - and both of our minds are at rest.

Enjoy your new car man! and like I said when I sold it to you - get some new tyres!!!!! :blink: i don't want to see a picture of the car in a newspaper twisted around a tree... be safe, take it to a skidpan and learn the feel and responsiveness and you'll have some fun :)

cheers matey..

Thanks Theo

hey again!

similar to my last post, i was at Trojan today and saw the old beast sitting there... i had a look at the tyres and my goodness - well done on some good tyres... they looked great and would hold a fair amount of traction down..

you'll have to take me for a spin in it some time - would love to see how much power she puts out in a drive now that she has some good traction... grats :)

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      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!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      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.
