this thing sounds horn! I'm not game to nail it but I can say that by the sound it has it WILL go.

those that have seen it would have noted the camera setup. I had a problem to sort on that this morning.

Thanks chris, the setup is awesome. I can't wait to see the fine tuning.

For those that don't know I got Chris to hook up my video box system and output it to the multifunction display. Works really well and is quite practical for car setup/monitoring at the track.

All the wiring and cameras have been nicely installed and wiring hidden so there is no fuss when heading out to the track or running it on the street.

Currently in hospital with wife for the birth of my 3rd kid and only son (he is a little champ!) so won't be till early august that I get the car back out on the track with some more tweaks, can't wait!

congrats Mark. Bugga, I was looking forward to you dishing some more pain on the porka's tomozz.

Haha! Will have to wait until august Noel. Hopefully we can smash the Porsche cup car times then! Look forward to catching up mate.

ok, the car weighs in pretty hefty but htat won't suprise anyone.

1734kg without driver, empty tank and without the rear wing (Aeromotions R2.two about to be installed). this is with the 20 inch HRE's and Bridgstones on them, they are about 0.5-1.0kg per corner lighter than stock.

will see how we go over the few months getting some weight off it!

thanks!

as for what we will be looking to do:

wheels and tyres (track setup already inplace but the above weight is with the street wheels)

seats (remove passenger seat, racetech bucket seat for driver)

Battery

surge tank (purpose two fold - we maxed out the walbro's and allows running less fuel)

stereo, interior trim, carpets

track exhaust setup

CF panels (as the budget allows)

then maybe other creature comforts/doors/dash and sound deadening if I can make the tough decision to go mental or not on such a nice car.

driver will be losing some weight too. about 5kg of sympathy weight gain during the wife's recent pregnancy.

5kg off me probably saves me about $5,000 worth of carbon fibre!

HAhahaha. Too true.

Just loose it with cycling so you have a lower centre of gravity :D

the quality of the bumper looks fantastic, and it definitely looks tough. will see how fitment goes. nice pics showing the ducting either sode of intercooler iopening. hopefully we can make use of these though I suspect things will be tight back there once on!

    • 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.
