I dropped and changed the oil in both diff's

the oil that came out was putrid and like it had turned to water. glad i did it.

also got scotty to make me up a new "pre throttle body" IC pipe (the one with the BOV attached to it.) Have a look. gonna get some 3m sticky heat shield and cover it up. should look good

Easy to drop the oil in the diffs?

Me thinks a Tutorial is a good idea :D

good idea. might write one up on the m35info forum if the mod's want?

took me 20 minutes each diff + the time it would take to take the tray(rock deflector thing) off the front

you need a 1mm Allen key 3 quarts of diff fluid - should take two and abit.

same as servicing the transfer case.. drain with bottom allen key bolt, close up. fill with top allen key bolt until it overflows. pretty simple honestly.

dont know if u notice a difference in drive, but gives you piece of mind knowing you've done it.

I think if you come from S.Africa, its called a Ellen key.... (saw it written on a S.Africans toolbox - lol)

Anyways Going to strip, clean, and re-set the Throttle body this weekend. Any tips?

I got the reset idle air volume instructions etc etc... anything else i should know, what to touch/ what not to touch?

also interested. i cleaned the visible part last night. now warm idle is 750ish RPM

oops.

can it be reset?

Depends. Not on my original one it couldn't.... unless Iain has somehow managed it.

I think I may have stretched whatever is in there because my warm idle was just over 1100rpm (cold was around the 1600rpm mark)

Edited by iamhe77

650 +/- 50rpm is factory spec, so 750 shouldn't be an issue.

Mine idles 550-650 (500 when hot). No issues at all.

Guess it just comes down to how comfortable you are with it.

yeh. if i come accross a second hand one, i'l grab it and fix it. but i think it will be on the 'when i can be bothered' list

why not clean and re-set the idle...?

Nothing to stretch in there - its only cogs/motors/sensors afaik

mine is about 750 at the moment in N or P, about 700 in D.

Did the other shopping trolly (that has done 175k Kms) today, cleaned TB and MAF, good result -idles much smoother now :thumbsup:

Cam had one that wouldn't set the idle after cleaning. Mine is the same. I don't mind an 800rev idle in drive though.

Mine may not set the idle any more due to the engine light being on and the ecu in fault. It will drop the revs after the learn but the next time I start it the idle has raised again.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • 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.
