Hi guys,

I want to replace a cheap aftermarket head unit and have tried following Chris's sticky instructions but I need some more help please.

I have done some searches and read everything but a lot of the links don't work and I'm still none the wiser.

My car is an auto so I cant pull the shifter boot up to expose the screws and the auto shift indicator doesn't want to prise out without significant force and I don't want to break anything.

next am I prising the whole AC vent panel (the piece that has both AC vents and the hazard button) out or just the two individual vents as the individual vents don't look they would expose anything except the inside of the ducting.

All help appreciated as my new head unit is just sitting next to my puter waiting to be brought to life.

Mark.

pop the ENTIRE AC vent panel out - two screws.

remove ashtray - 1 screw.

pull entire assy out and unplug radio,antenna and AC controls.

Thanks again Chris,

Using your original instructions together with your most recent reply I was able to do the job today.

As there was an aftermarket unit already fitted it had the antenna adapter but had the original plugs butchered but i soldered/heat shrank all of the new wires and everything works hunky dory. I also added some Sub leads and unit amp switching wire while at it to save pulling the whole thing apart down the track when/if I fit a Sub.

I took some pics and was going to add it as a response to your sticky if you don't mind as I know that thick blokes like myself find pics easier to understand.

If you were closer to my place and weren't so busy I would have just brought it to you.

Thanks again, Mark.

      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!

      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.
