I wish my apartment had at least a covered car port.

I've had my 33 in the elements since I got it a few weeks back...

...and at work there is nothing.

It's not so much the rain as the UV. So I feel bad about it.

My car is in pretty good nick compared to many of the 33's I seen about and I would like to keep it that way.

I've got a car cover now but feel (and look) like a douche putting it on and off and it's a lot of effort. :)

Bad things happen indoors!!

Haha nah, I have a covered carport, and a garage thats apparently big enough for one car, I doubt it and its always been full of too much shit to throw the Ceffy in there. I use my car as storage, and the shed to store shit like bumpers, dash, fender, that are all out at the moment. More concerened about people stealing my shit, not exactly easy to find some things. Would be nice to be able to use the garage, means less time finding tools and work light each night, packing up, means Im not under pressure to have shit back on the car before I go to bed either, I can just lock the door and know its safe.

I'd guess putting a cover on it would make it more appealing to people wanting to boost shit?

Bad things happen indoors!!

Ha ha that's true.

I remember a few years ago a buddy of mine - who owned an Aston martin and a e-type jag - went away to work overseas and on returning found a shelf in his garage had collapsed and put some dents in the jag. lol

Anyway my parking area is secure, its not like it's on the street.

We've got a big f**koff shade sail out the back. a double car port won't work on account of the fact we've got 9 cars in the same drive way.

proper garage goes to *gasp* a BA GT! *continues sob story* well, that car belonged to my uncle may he rest in peace, and so sayeth his will that his sister my mother received his house AND car. And, since it hasn't been driven in two months, a deep sadness within compels me to steal it. and drive it. then put it back.

yes mine spends all day every day out in the elements i used to have schmicko paint work now my bonnet has little or no clear left all peeling off..

what ya gonna do

i no shannons wont insure unless its in a garage

maybe by a portable tent thing.. put that up

My car cover blew off last night...quite embarrassing. Now it's secured with two ropes.

The R33 is slightly too big for the medium sized cover and way too small for the large cover. So with the medium sized cover 'cos it's not stretched over the car 100%, a bit of wind will get under it and dislodge it on one end, then the whole thing slides off. :ninja:

Need to get a flat with a car port or buy a proper house with a garage etc.

See lots of bunky looking cars around Perth damaged by UV. Don't want my car being like that.

    • 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.
