yep fine just a bump on the head from the hans/helmet

check out the thread he has posted some in car footage... looks like a brake failure of some sort... and then some brain fade as he still tried to turn into the corner with waaay too much speed... hit the sand sideways and the rest is pretty evident

yeah it's a bit dump. the vid of the aston martin shows what happens when you hit it. you get airborne and miss most of the gravel trap.

here's the incar from the zed. you can see as the crash starts he hits the lip and gets airborne and is just going to fly over most of the gravel trap regardless of whether or not it cartwheeled.

and you can see this crash at the same spot starts almost the same way. car hits the lip, gets airborne and misses half to two thirds of the sand trap and ends up in the the wall. having the sandtrap fall away from the track edge like that just doesn't work. nor does the lip before you hit it.

the astons flight does look quite graceful though... lol.

lol, same time! d'oh.

that BMW crash is nasty. shame too as the driver did all the right things, he countersteered enough to keep the car straight, slowed down as was motoring along happily until he hit the stunt ramp which just completely fked his day.

How could the safety design elements of that track be ok'd by any governing body worth their salt is beyond me......

quite seriously though, how they'd have/still have public liability insurance with run-offs like that is beyond 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!

      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.

      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.
