Hey guys, I'm Nigel, a member from Adelaide.

I'm asking for a large favour for monday (04/08/08)

Myself and a mate land at Brissy airport at 9am, and need to get to Morayfield to pick up my new beast from another member, ready to drive home to Adelaide. I would greatly appreciate a lift from a generous member if it was in any way possible. The trip will of course be rewarded with petrol money. The trip is 45kms approx, and would prefer a faster and more economical alternative to a $100 taxi for a <45 minute trip.

I also need to make my way to Queensland transport on piper street at Morayfield also, but thats only a $15 taxi from the car's location, so i have that covered.

Hoping that a member finds it in thier heart to give 2 guys a lift on thier way to work or whatever.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nigel.

yeah i was gonna suggest the train whist reading too.. would be alot more convenient.. take train to neatest station and bus/taxi it to his house then drive to qld transport.. alternatively if your just looking to trade in the plates just drive to adelaide and trade them in there.. its do-able

i would have been willing to give you a lift but have to work

good luck with the new car :)

i figured most people would be working. Time is an issue, hence i dont wanna wait for the train. Already checked the time tables, and i'd be losing over an hour of precious travel time. Car is unregoed, so cant drive it till i get permits from qld transport, hence all the taxi's.

Hmm I'd be happy to run you around for the morning but not sure I can get the time off work ><

Surely there is someone on here who works casual work or something?

We don't have any luggage by the way, nor do we smell.... (contrary to rumours)

Easy way to make $50 for 45 minutes of someones time?

We need to hit the road to home by about 11am, so thats why i'd prefer no taxi queues or trains.

Cheers guys

Haha nah it's true, any decent car will out-corner a decent bike. Look at the difference in how much rubber is on the road - two contact patches the size of a 20c piece versus four big 235mmx20mm or whatever patches. A well-ridden bike can be damn hard to catch but a well driven car should be able to hold more corner speed, the only saving grace for the bike is that it can use wider lines but it takes a LOT of commitment to ride that hard.

It's fun trying though :blink:

      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.

      Lock up the old for sale / wtb threads.

      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.
