sold my work equip anhelos on thursday just gone.

very sad.

but decided itd be a better idea to have a matching set of 6 wheels.

so i plan on buying 6 XXR 531's in 17x9+25 all round

so i thought id better test fit a 9" wheel to the front.

this is a 17x9+38 with a 25mm bolt on spacer.

oh and they actually rocked up yesturday.

unfortunately its gonna be a while before i can get them fitted up as i was in a car accident on saturday just gone and my daily driver was written off.

so all my spare money i had aside for the laurel has gone to buy a new daily.

not happy. but hopefully the insurance company of the guy that hit me wont take to long to pay me.

yeah i did.

turns out i shouldnt own r31s. have written three off in not at fault accidents.

a mate came round yesturday and test fitted my modded knuckles for me.

gonna have to spend a bit of money gettin everythin to clear now. hits everywhere haha.

.... havent got lock stops on my arms. currently hits the castor rod and the inner well at the back. haha. and arms are binding.\

turns out the knuckles ive bought are freakin insane also,

they actually run reverse ackerman by the looks of it.. and are extremely quick.

should be interesting. i predict a shit load of spins happening. haha

im only running stock arms at the moment, thats probably got a fair bit to do with it id imagine. haha

its not actually hitting the inner well at the moment. i havent got tyres fitted to the XXRs yet. we just mounted one of them to see what i was likely to hit,

will be getting tyres fitted in the new year. at the moment im not even allowed to touch a car because of the bloody crash.

  • 2 weeks later...

i would but this is basically gonna be driven on the street maybe a couple times a year,

and after spending this year in the passenger seat of my mates 180 track car. i really want a pair of sparco seats.

i still found that on the track with the recaros i was having to brace myself on the centre console/door. admittedly I haven't installed my harness yet, but I figure someone else might as well put the road legal recaros to good use.

    • 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.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
