So I haven’t posted in a while here but I picked up a Takeros kit which needed a bit of work and paint and it’s slowly making its way to being done.

its had the fibreglassing work done thanks to one of the awesome dudes at my work, I just need to bog it from the front and sand everything down and prep for paint.

I will need to remove my tow bar which is a bummer but not the end of the world.

Finally got around to kind of fitting up my rear wheels for now (Garson Ryugi Deep Racing 18"x12.5" -22). Adjusted suspension height and damper and smashed guards out with a guard roller, phone books and a jack handle until I either order bolt-on flares or bite the bullet and begin a widebody...

Just sold the black PNM35, so we're back to a one-Stagea, one-Leaf family. :( It drove better than the silver one (had no options so was lighter, had hard bushes, lowered, better brakes and may have been shift-kitted) but since it didn't have a towbar or centre-rear 3-point seatbelt it was voted off the Island.

It served me well though, I bought it because I was doing a 600km round trip every week for work last year, and the mileage allowance I was paid meant it was basically free, so anything I got when I sold it was a bonus. Now I just have to convince my wife we should use the proceed to fit new bushes, suspension, brakes and a shift kit to the silver car. :P

Evo 8 seats finally in. Stripped almost every bolt getting the old rails off and had to drill 2 of them out and re-tap (shhh don't tell). 

Sits much lower than stock, and wouldn't recommend if you're a big person. They are quite snug on my ass. 

Now to figure out the seat airbag delete...

You want to solder a 2.2 ohm resistor into the wiring behind the plug  on the harness; that's the value of a seat airbag.

Poking it into the ins of the plug won't work, needs to be soldered into the wiring.

Seats look great in there.

Cheers, I've figured that bit out.

Totally voiding any insurance that I'm paying for and my safety probably too, but hey they look good right?!

Installed roof racks and roof basket, 3" turbo back straight pipe to a single 3" blast pipe and took the nugget to Powercruise for the weekend. Scrubbed up alright...

Finaly had time to take dp Off. 

I have to make new flange because I bought

Wrong ☹️ 

Just 2hours to remove dp and make flange and I did not lower the trans

 Without the induction heater one bolt would not have left off

    • 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.
