Why do you want an enclosed pod? Standard cold air feed does a fine job of keeping things cool, even with an open pod setup. And if the enclosed is for legal reasons, well that goes right out the window when you cut holes for FMIC or have two intake mods. Return flows are plenty for any usable amount of power on the street.

So a drive a Portsea today and my oil temp is this :/

Ambient temp outside was about 27

Just did an oil change of Motul 8100 5w 40 Fully synthetic

Should I be worried? What are the consequences of a really hot oil temp?

Jesus, that's high.

5w40 is bit too thin for weather like today.

Thought we told you to put 10/50 or 10/60?

I was but then someone else said my oil might be dirty... Next oil change I will do it.

Would painting my intercooler black be attributing to this? I'm thinking that's the only change I've done since I've noticed increased oil temps :/

I'm super lazy so I bought a KCI ezy wrench from autobarn today; best $99 I've spent on the car.

Instead of wasting minutes loosening and tightening the wheel nuts - it can be done within seconds; LITERALLY.

Highly recommend it, bitches. Plugs into your cigarette lighter or your battery terminals and comes with everything you need to getting those wheels off fast. Fk yeah!

    • 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.
