Bought and installed a new battery today (with larger terminals to suit, and a new battery clamp to hold it in). I now have 610CCA's of juice available to kick my starter motor in the guts!

what shade did you go on the window tint josh? darkest legal? just wondering how it looks against the stock rears shading.

we went with the darkest legal shade which here is 35%- I like having a car that doesn't get picked on by the cops (yet). It looks pretty good. You can tell it's lighter but there's not a huge difference. But then that could also be due to the front windscreen being so light? I'll try to get a decent pic of it.

(sorry for butting in :blush:)

I used those TRW Lucas pads in R32 GTR calipers on my R31, very nice, from stone cold to the hardest I could push 'em.

Get used to washing those wheels; they're dusty buggers...

:blush: some ppl were saying that they aren't too bad but i've noticed a fair bit of grime already

i'll probably swap them out for the qfm hpx when i've got the money or am sick of washing the wheels

Get a can of Autoglym wheel seal for your rims, then you'll basically be able to hose the dust off.

On the weekend I finally go around to fitting the carpc into the wagoon, had already fitted teh screen previously when I put the CB in but had a couple of wiring issues.. got those sorted out yesterday so now everything works mint!

Must say, I've missed having a carpc!

Oooh, post photos when you're done, please!

Last night finished fitting new tie rod ends to the Stagea. This morning had a full wheel alignment done. :P

Saturday the Stag gets a brake upgrade ... Sumitomo 4 pot calipers and 297mm rotors ... Lucas pads :)

put in my tranny cooler, hard suction line to turbo, turbosmart BOV (couldnt be bothered with having to plumb back the standard BOV) and also dropped the front drive shaft,

definatly fun times being RWD but pretty just doing it to make it easier for when i get it tuned soon,

    • 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.
