ok, may sound silly but i am quite concerned with my gearbox.

i'v had a new clutch put in recently, (which i think could possibly just be the old 1, machined)

ok the problem is i can pull my gear stick out of the socket or whatever it is that it sits in,

i don't kno if its normal to b able 2 do that with the r33?

also

odd sqeaky noise when clutch is dis engauged, an pushing clutch in the pedal sqeaks.

and more effort is required in2 getting it in2 gear sum times, it's not slipping though.

um another thing, does every 1 have diff coloured door trims, ie. the carpet stuff on the door,

driver's side blue, passenger is like a blueish brown.

feel free 2 advise me. lol

Gearstick problem - some knucklehead left out the pivot pin that holds the gearstick in position! It probably also contributes to the difficulty of selecting gears.

Take it back, get it fixed.

Knuckleheads always have things left over when they re-assemble any machinery.

Take a metal detector with you - and go over the knucklehead with it - and you may still find YOUR pin in HIS pocket!

also 7000km is a long time between oil changes on a turbo skyline.... (if yours is turbo) i change mine every 5000 without fail and even in that relatively short time i can feel a difference when i change the oil that means it would be better if i did it alittle under 5000km, also i use elf oils, i find them pretty good

and get my gearstick pin put in.

It's actually a circlip, probably just not installed correctly and it popped back out.

Grab a couple of oil filters with your new oil if you haven't done a service in over 7000k's.

Your nice new oil will quickly strip the gunk off which then goes straight to the filter.

Do a filter change after say 500k's, top up according to the stick and hope your lash adjusters come good.

the clutch pedal needs a bit of oil around the spring area that will stop it squeaking... my guess is when you got your clutch replaced the put a heavy duty one in... its a bit heavier but it can take a beating!

door trims?

never see premade ones for sale, buy some 2nd hand ones and take out the carpet and put your own fabric where the carpet was, or if you wanna be real cool replace the fabric with a sheet of carbon fibre :banana:

p.s listen to gringor ^^^ you need to change your oil and filter on/before 5000km if you want your engine to last

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      Blue slip

      By The Bogan · Posted

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
