Them's fighting words!

Maybe you're right though, with those heavy cast D1Rs and all

GTS-T will hit the track before the GTR does

And if it's slow it'll be the driver, thing is reasonably well set up for a daily

would like to come to sandown, but got shit on :(

gloria off to Centreline Suspension for JDM treatment. i was surprised chris knew what was going on before i had even said anything "so we're going to need a lot of negative camber, and you dont mind if it exceeds 100mm ride height?"

take a lot to get a gts-t around a track quick,and if it a good daily then it's not there...just ask Simon.

dialing out the understeer of such a heavy motor at speed is very hard.

It's a manageable daily. There are much more friendly cars going about on the street, but people are surprised when they drive it how palatable it is for the power output and how quick it can be putted around mountain roads. I modified it with the intention to make it capable and retain some creature comfort - expensive process and ultimately a compromise for the street is usually a compromise at the track, yes, but even things like 0 camber for a street setup, tyre and brake pad choice...things I can easily change before a track day...make it a better daily driver.

Adjustable everywhere and poly bushes throughout, the KAAZ 1.5 way is wonderfully predictable and helps her to be tail happy when you want it to be, really helps with turn in at moderate to higher speeds and the opposite at lower. Granted I'm not doing 160km/h corners on the street, but it'll be interesting to see how the car goes nonetheless. I think the suspension would be the thing to hold it back given the struts sound a bit shot after years of Toorak Rd. If nothing else I still have a decent whack of power to make use of our long straights. Could always give a better driver a chance in it and see what they think.

    • 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.
