Hey Guys,

I'm writing to you today because I have a dirty love affair with an ex that's gotten really rough.

The thing in need help with is my VL commodore, I first fell in love with her in 2006 when I bought her but then a Japanese lady got in the way (WRX) which turned the relationship sour, then another japanese lady (R33) stole the love away again!

But now the reality hit. Well hit my old man....

My VL has been cluttering up his shed for a while now and he's sick to death of it. I've just dropped a new donk in it and then the oil pump broke. So it needs a new one. The old one off the old donk is good to go, I just need to swap her over.

I really need some help to get it going again so I can sell it and get it out of my old man's shed.

The car can either be in Devonport or Hobart. What ever gets more support really.

Can you guys help me out? I'll be honest, working on cars scares the hookers out of me after f**king up this car the first time so I'd really like your help.

Dad say's if it's not going this weekend he's going to take it to the tip. Seeing as I've recently put $3k's worth of suspension in it I'd rather not see that happen. Can you help!?!

If we want it in Hobart I'll need a tow car and a trailer to get it there, tow car donor can borrow my WRX for the day.

Help me SAU, you're my only hope!

Zoid.

That will help. May need some assistance pushing this bad boy up my driveway mostly :P

Your driveway? Surely it will be kept on display on your front lawn like all good VL's?... (commo dig)

I have the ute as I mentioned before, but I don't think she's up to any long towing trips at the moment unfortunately ;P

    • 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.
