goto EAS in airport west

theres no need to drive half across melbourne for a std procedure item

theres done a trillion skylines

There is no need to drive half way across Melb period, wether for a basic tune or a full house build up :P

It's the reason I don't recommend EAS to eastside people; good workshops can be found on both sides of town, just silly to waste money, time and fuel driving across town. Having said that, EAS has a a fair few customers come from the east and also country areas, so each to their own.

WOW! iseekool thanks alot, thats really helpful. maybe ill buy those oils to and provide them to whoever i take the car too.

CHEERS THAT'S GREAT INFO.

Also i forgot to mention, when i change gears in my auto the car seems to move or shake forward or backwards a little.

IS DAT A SIGN OF MY GEARBOX SCREWING UP? or just needs new oil? My uncle mentioned something about getting my gearbox flushed and add new oil... is that suppose to make it better?

I have the same thing happening in any auto car, it is normal for an auto, especially if the engine is cold due to the higher revs, once everything is warmed up it is felt much less. How bad is it? Is there a big delay when it happens? Do you notice any drivability problems, rough shifts or mis-shifts?

Changing the trans fluid will not hurt. :P but personally I'd put it as a lower priority for now. Depending on how much you drive - the trans fluid should be good for another 1/2 year - but of course as with anything the sooner you change the better. Don't forget to use Castrol Transmax Z. :)

dr drift in brooklyn??

like has been said, the 100 000 service isnt rocket science, just takes a bit of work. So i reckon ideally you would just want to get a workshop that is relatively close and knows skylines. It will cost you around the 1000 mark id say, When i was living in Albury, i got mine done, i think it worked out to about 1000 from memory.

      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.

      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.
