rear tyres need replacing (they came with the cars original wheels, who knows how old they are) (understandable)

the cat got loose on one side and the gasket slid out so i am endangering the ozone (understandable)

rear p plate not shown have to stick it outside the window so as everyone knows im a p plater, not just the lucky people in front of me (understandable???)

rear break lights needs to be sufficiently bright (understandable)

and finally

the all mighty "H" pattern is not displayed, because in the rare occassion that i decide to shift from 5th and forcefully into reverse, i can look at the "H" pattern and say "oh yeah..."

im happy :)

i also got fined for the p plate and also something else i forgot, which in turn have both got a cash value fine and loss of 3 points, but because he said i dont seem like a hoonish driver (must of been the sandles, unkept hair, and listening to queens of the stone age), although i am driving a hoonish car (must of been the car?), and the new rules state any p plate would lose their lisence once they lose 5 points, he only gave me the smaller p plate fine so i only lost 3 points

nice fellow

yes , when they are busy is usually the best time, i had my wifes car defected for rim size so i swapped the tyres over , got jetspeed to give me the road worthy then took the ride to Vic roads in burwood ,,it was a busy day ,,i drove up ,,the inspector actually said to me "i thought u was here coz of the height of the car(my wifes car is basically sittin on the bump stops,has about a 48 mm clearance from the ground),,anyhow told him nope just the rim size,,he said ,"did i fix it ?",, i said ,"take a look",,he replied ,,"nahh rims look ok",,went inside got it cleared and see ya later.... and that was all inside 1 hour from when i got the defect.

Good Luck

You'll be ok Michael, I got done for blue lights in the front bar, steering wheel padding, BOV (cos it had a shiny one)! accelerator pedal must be a rubberised surface, (mind you under the metal impul cover it's hard plastic)! and he questioned the firmness of my suspension!! and the boost gauge was in my field of view!! :bs!: I took my car to a strict RWC place and he said well all of that is crap but take the shiny pedal cover off and your tires are borderline on the rear so fix that and replace your front brake pads. so on went some mags full set of brake pads and burwood vic roads processed it without looking at the car. the fine shat me though.

doxxeh where was this? coz I saw a burgandy r33 pulled over by a cop on high st today.

That P plate rule shits me, I had to take off my beautiful spider n replace it with a stock square POS P plate.

I need to change the tyres on my car too... the back ones have like 30% tread on em.

      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.
