Trust Enlarged Front Diff Cover

Hi all

Just a heads up. I fitted a Trust front diff cover on my r32 gtr. If I knew what a head f*k it would be to fit I would not have bothered ( took me a good solid day ). Has anyone else fitted one ?. Did you fit the top three cover bolts that sit near the oil filter? . These bolts where nearly impossible to fit and tighten.

As a side issue. The front diff vent hose connects to a nipple below the intake manifold. I find this strange as I thought it would have been vented to atmo. Is this the same as your RB26? . Any input would be appreciated.

I can't see why that would be true. 32 v spec and non vspec front diffs are exactly the same. so are R33 vspec and non vspec front diffs are the same too. as are the covers. as are the sumps. so I can't imagine why they wouldn't be the same.

Thanks. The car is a V spec and it is nearly the same as other r 32 gtr as far as I can see . Good to hear that the diff is vented to atmo now I will have to look at replacing a slightly leaking diff seal. Has anyone fitted the Trust extended rear diff housing ?

Must have been mistaken. My bad.

The rear diff may be a different story though, as some GTRs have an active rear diff which is different to the normal mechanical 2 way LSD the other GTR models have, so that may be where you got the idea from. :P

      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.
