Just drove the Stagea all of 30 metres, if that!  Reversed it out of the garage and driveway, turned it around at the T-intersection on the corner of where my house is, then reversed it back in so it can be tucked up tight against the wall and take up less room in the carport.

A light clutch suddenly feels a little bit heavier when you haven't driven a manual for ages...

Gonna have to figure out why the radio stopped working, hopefully it's just a fuse and easy to sort out so I can use it more when the weather warms up a bit.   Car loves the cold, I don't.

Good thing is that it's got a fresh pink slip, thanks to the grumpy old man, LOL.  He's driven it more than I have!

After 3 years, 1 month and two weeks of owning my Stagea, I think I've finally found the little directional toggle switch that is used to control the cursor on the TV. My wife found it lodged under the driver's set while cleaning out the car, the TV itself doesn't actually pop up (stillhaven't got round to sorting it) but it's nice to collect the full set of buttons.

Can someone with a PM/PNM35 please tell me, does the controller switch have two Japanese characters on it? Google Translate tells me it says "decision" but I'm guessing it means "select". Otherwise it's a button for something else and I have no idea what.

Did an oil and filter change using an Aeroflow filter so I'll see how that goes.

Also put in a Whiteline diff bush kit (thanks Daleo) and changed the diff oil.

Diff bushes came out pretty easy with a hammer, washer and some pipe.

Used this setup to try and remove the subframe bush. You can see the juice from the leaky bush. :blush:

I got it out halfway before snapping the bolt and a length of all-thread. It was in there tight! I'd suggest using a head bolt or something high tensile. I ended up pushing out the rubber centre and then cutting out the shell with a hacksaw. All went back in ok and feels all good on the road.

    • 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.
