So,

Thought I'd start a thread for two reasons, show what you have and give info and tips to others looking to buy race gear for the right racing!

So,

What does everyone have?

I have a mixture - Ive got an RPM suit, ERG gloves and looking to buy shoes to do MRA

My helmet was given to my from my best mate for my 21st - still going strong today!!

I have a Shoei helmet :rofl:

I am also looking into buying a suit, gloves, boots etc, So i will be interested to see what the pick of the bunch are.

I have been looking at the RPM single layer club sprint package that revolution offers, anyone using this now?

Thats what mine is Ryan. Ando and I use them.

You'll need to by the underwear also for doing MRA AFAIK, but have also been told can wear long pants and long sleeved shirt underneath also.

Can't let Chris have the goofiest pic in this thread :thumbsup:

My gear bag now contains:

Stilo helmet and a HANS device - sports version (the poor mans version) but just as good as its big brother

2nd helmet which is now my back up for if I ever can't run in my Stilo & so old I can't see or remember the brand!

RPM Mondial suit (double layer)

ERG Protek suit (double layer)- second suit a good investment for me given how smelly they can get after sitting in them for days at Targa!

Sabelt balaclava & fire proof undies. Sabelt had the only black balaclavas I could find- they don't show the grime you pick up after dropping them on the floor!

OMP Gloves

Co-Pilote Rally Watch (does superduper rally stuff & is definitely smarter than me)

Will post some pics when I am awake enough to hold a camera straight (tired, not pissed before you smartarses say anything!)

Below is my first investment in gear, purchased with a gift voucher from mates (hence the dodgy pic to show what I'd bought!).

These are still my favourite dancing boots- made by ERG and are super comfortable and a good fit for a smaller foot. Can't remember the style but ERG don't seem to make anything like them now. Unfortunately they stopped being the right standard for rallies run under CAMS so I also now own a pair of Sabelts which are not nearly as good a fit.

    • 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.
