Biatches please.. :P

Gradenko - mine are all between 150 and 155 with the exception of number three which is 130, which was considered low. All of yours down at this level don't sound too good to me..

Go the conversion! :P

Adam - thats my plan too.. :)

The thing is I can blame the low readings on an uncharged battery and unlubruicated cylinder walls. Compression test results can be random like that.

I'll see if Steve thinks the dyno reading tomorrow is about average or too low.

Adam, Not necessarily true, alot of people don't keep cranking them, they stop at 4 cranks, if there is any major difference then you know the compression is low, so actually readings can be misleading, it is the variation in readings that is important.

compression test aside, 350ml of oil has come from somewhere...

350mL of oil in vapour after 20L of oil has passed through it (4 oil changes). Could that be classed as normal? Macka has that filter on his breather, does he find a layer of oil coating his bonnet lining?

The catch can mod is damn useful. All this oil would be lining the inside of my intercooler and clogging the idle solenoid otherwise.

Pretty much the first time its been checked, yeah.

Just got a call from Danny, it pulled 280rwhp (shootout) after tuning on SST's rollers with no sign of detonation. The front facing plenum mod is a success! :). 280rwhp isn't anthing special, but its about all a 5 knob s-afc is going to let us safely extract.

maybe get a real catch can without coke residue in it! :)

Careful, dont knock his coke bottle, he's awfully proud of it.

Half full eh, so when a you going to go the twin coke bottle mod?

lol @ zanda

deesh, the coke bottle rocks! Its the kind of quality engineering we've come to expect from Coca Cola Corp. Afterall, if it can hold concrete etching coke for months at end, whats a little luke warm oil? :)

Twin coke bottle mod is coming. The hose attaching the left and right breathers together has a crack in it, so I may as well run new piping from the left breather to a bottle of its own :)

BTW, test drove the car today and its insanity peppers. Modified plenum mod is highly reconmended for all you fmic'ers.

    • 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
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • 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.
