and is it a series 2?? or series 1

It's a series 1.

You can also see that it doesn't have ABS (the ABS unit usually sits at the top righthand side - looking at the pic), and it's possible that it's got aftermarket suspension as the strut tops don't look like the factory ones.

Bit hard to tell, but it looks like there's a white plastic T off of the fuel pressure reg too. Might mean there was/is a after market boost gauge.

Oh - last one (LOL), also looks like the factory boost solinoid has been taken out or has been moved.

Also it isnt a  series 1.5 front is it

So what would you rekon the RRP of this sorta car would be ??? ball park rough figure

Think it could be a series 1.5 looks almost exactly the same as my series 1.5. I think I can just make out a series 2 spoiler on the back??? Should make it a 95 series 1.5 (officially series 1 of course). I think the black around the front lights is also a sign of series 1. Seems to have cut away some of the front grill.

It looks like a 1.5 to me. Sewid's the expert on the differences between series 1 and 1.5/2 engine bays because he's compared them directly and made mental notes, maybe you could pm him and ask.

I wouldn't pay more than $20k for a realtively stock '95 model. Probably considerably less.

Btw I think it might be a Nismo grille. A friend of mine sold one awhile back and it looks pretty similar.

Yeah its hard to tell from these photos but it looks suspiciously like Series 1.5. I can only judge this by the pink plate on the AFM. Series 1 that I have seen have green plates. This could just be a batch thing though, or even a replacment afm.

Jimx what colour is your AFM's plate?

It's not series two but we all knew that.

No the factory boost solenoid is still there, it's just to the right of the power steering fluid reservoir.

      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!

      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.
