Fark, no good; hopefully it's fallen against a closed valve, otherwise you're in trouble. I'm assuming this happened with the upper plenum removed?

If you know which port it went down, and you still can't reach it; removing the lower plenum may allow you better access.

sorry, wrong wording.

no, in front down onto the pulleys and belts.

engine still unopened.

looked for a solid 45 mins with a torch.

not under the car or on the underside cover.

still nowhere to be seen.

hopefully won't drop or jump up into the pulleys when its going.

yep, magnet definitely on my shopping list

I dropped a nut (steady on...) in the engine bay of my Commodore a couple of years ago while I had the intake manifold off and the valley exposed. No idea where it went but the car still hasn't died. WHY WON'T IT DIE? GAAAAHHHHH!!!

Car back on hoist for hopefully the last time for the handbrake cable and a few small things.

Noise from the clutch gone. Seems to be a tiny noise around the cat but i will be replacing the exhaust from the dump back. Now that the auto is gone i can get something that will sit much closer to the body (less scrape yay!!)

Umm picture of Drive Shaft is all i can offer today.

Handbrake is mounted and almost finished but i didn't get a picture as the car was up on the hoist.

So really on the home stretch now. The mechanic has an S13 he is getting off defect for a customer and i can live without the M35 for another day so i'm hoping to pick it up tomorrow / Wednesday/

Stay tuned

Car seems to be running rich and is in desperate need of a tune. Once the holidays are over i'll get it in to have the emanage tune looked at asap.

Enjoy.

Nice of the workshop to put up all the details. I reckon Scotty has already started collecting the parts. Lol;)

I'm sure Scotty already had most of the parts ready to go over a year ago :P

I think he is neck deep in ECU / Turbo stuff atm which hopefully will save me some frustration after the xmas holidays :)

    • 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.
