I had a very interesting story for a little bit ago.

On my way home from my parents place. Recently had been to the drags at Heathcote. Car had Mickey Thompsons on the back, no backseat, no passenger seat + all my actual mods. Blanket laid out in the empty space with my Dog sitting on it. Driving down the back road sitting on 50 in a 60 zone (lol I was in no rush to get anywhere).

Unmarked SS drove past and did a U turn. I freaked a bit cuz I could easily think of a dozen things I could potentially have been in strive for. Got pulled over. "How are you going? I pulled you over because I saw the shiney intercooler in the front bar" He had a quick glance at the car and said "been on the track recently have we?". By this stage I was packing it. He got me to pop the bonnet. Had a look went straight to the boost control bleed. Said he could do me for it but wasn't going to. Just told me to get rid of it and that I may get something in the mail. Also mentioned that I should get the cooler engineered for safety reasons in case I was to crash. Proceeded to tell me how he pulls people up in Melbourne all the time that are Wankers and think they know everything and how he gives them fines.

Waved me on and wished me a good weekend.

Actually wasn't a bad bloke. Could have got me for a fair bit really. I guess because I did nothing stupid he didn't feel the need to make a big deal of everything. I can only wish that he was thinking that because I use a track that I was more responsible. But who really knows what another person is thinking?

Being pulled over for not indicating on a lane change when i was going round a car who was turning right. I even gave it gate when the unmarked cop car was behind me. They just looked at my tyres and left me on my way with a two point fine and $200 fine.

Pulled over for driving a skyline with p plates at 3-4am.. 4 times in an hour :P Which was lots of fun considering I left my license at home and had to explain it each time

1. cop car pulls over on the side of the road and waits for me to pass then an "rbt"

2. undercover xr6t pulls me over not 5mins later.

3. Parked at maccas when 2 cops come into the store and asked whos driving the skyline, rbt (yes an rbt in the middle of maccas as i ate my cheeseburger)

4. Filling up at BP and a cop car pulls in and approached me, as my back p plate had flipped over to the red side in the wind. Spent a while explaining i was a green p plater, rbt etc..

all up no fines or defects though and all of the police were polite to me

      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.
