Nice.....I like it!

Detailed mine, and put it under a car cover again (sigh... I wish I had a garage: that way I could actually SEE the car when its not in use!). Pretty sure I'll be whipping the covers off again soon: the weather's starting to get nice and chilly again!

Had my AFM die on me. Boosting up a hill the power just cut out completely, it would barely idle and wouldnt rev. Fortunately i managed to limp the car home by disconnecting the AFM.

Fearing an expensive replacement was on the cards i soaked the AFM with some contact cleaner, let it sit over night and then tired it out in the morning. Amazingly the engine started up great, idled perfect and drove fantastic. In fact its driving better then ever, i went on a 100km drive this arvo with a whole bunch of blasts of the throttle. Fuel consumption is better and revving feels a lot smoother.

I'd recommend giving your AFM a clean even if its functioning well. Next weekend i'll try cleaning the wife's V35 AFM which is working fine to see if it shows an improvement

Serviced the car last night, oil (trying ULX110), filter, replaced belts, air filter and spark plugs (NGK)...... My car had a slight miss under big load and my economy was pretty average (6/7km per litre) One of my coils was covered in oil (the side that I had my rocker cover gasket changed under warranty) .......needless to say I was pretty impressed. Also I had 3 different kinds of plugs in the car NGK Denso and some wierd jap one WTF, all finger tight (washers on bottom of plugs werent even crushed) :unsure:

Wat? Your kidding, dealer serviced?

Thats a job I would be doing myself, so you can check the plug tubes are clear of oil. They wouldn't even tell you by the sounds of it...

I service my car but haven't done the plugs until now.....I am a qualified mechanic, but when the car was in warranty period (3 months) I got rocker cover/ srs light/ swaybar links/ disc machine blaa blaa done, As I figure I am paying all this money, I am not working on my daily when I don't have to.....

Also when I got it onto the hoist i have noticed I have a couple of very bald (camber) rear tyres and most of my bushes in the front need replacing, so at last I have a reason for changing wheels and tyres instead of the chrome gayness. Will also be needing bushes ASAP

Now just talking to the guys that did the warranty work. They did the outer rocker seal and the inner isn't serviceable (around the spark plug tubes) and you need to buy a new rocker cover or sealant the shiz out of it and cross your fingers? I take it they warp?, anyone had this problem before? Someone has had a go at the sealant already (as one of coils also had sealant on it).....

I did it but I wouldn't recommend using too much sealant in there, probably best to find another rocker cover, new if possible, but they were over $200 I seem to remember and would have to come from Japan. The plug tube seal isn't replaceable.

Awesome.......I wouldn't bother with a second hand rocker as mostly likely would have/will warp.....I am getting a few quotes on rockers covers now..... but this is money I would rather be spending on suspension or exhaust or on my race car......

Will report back with quotes

    • 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.
