with that air box it in it going to hit the radiator because that will go to the top of the front bar piece???? cos i was thinking of doing the same but droping my radiator down two inches to clear?????

ben... im drawing up a v mount setup at the moment... dont want to make it until the engine is sitting in its rightful place.

im going to use an MY00 WRX crossflow radiator/thermos/header tank setup... might be something for you to check out..

the wrx radiator is a little bit shorter than the skyline one.. same width though, or close enough.

the early wrx doesnt have the cap on the radiator.. its a pure header tank setup..

btw... great to see the project is moving again.. mine has gone back to the drawing board.. starting all over again.

I'll be converting the Crownie boxes to Alloy soon, i'm at superlap/a wedding this weekend, so i won't get to look at it. The over the radiator intake seems to be vary popular on race cars. Only seem to be the Japs that persist with the pod filter in the guard.

If the new airbox goes to plan, i'll duct from the LH guard to the turbo to cool it.

Well we did some more wiring on the weekend. The car now cranks over, and the fans, ecu and horn work.

When I was at superlap I took lots of pics of the GIO airbox, my original design was very similar, but i'm copying the GMS one now, as it's pretty simple design.

damo is a auto electrition so that helps. it's a trimmed down standard loom, as the factory wiring is small and light. And all the extra bits and peices are single runs tied into the loom. The ABS will be wired with mil-spec, but there isn't enough colours to do all the car.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • 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.
