hey just wondering if from how i can best discribe it anyone would know what my problem could be. it kinda sounds like brakes that have sand on the discs or something. like a light grinding/scraping sound, seems to be coming from around the clutch area although i at first thought it was coming from my belts up front. any1 who understands wat i mean, figure it could be a common issue but not sure. would love some suggestions wat to check as i cant afford a mechanic right now. cheers

when it first started happening it would stop when i put the clutch in, apart from that the clutch seems fine. the brakes are all good. havnt done any burnouts but as far as the rest goes im not too sure. i got a video that mite help but im having trouble uploading it. i click attach file and it starts to load then we the bar fills up it just stops there and wont attach...

Hey man,

Its all good, i need advise too in my thread, and i know what its like when no1 will help you out, i got like 100 or so views with no1 sayin nothing...

Pretty intense job, the gear box has to come off, and while your there u might as well do the clutch. We sell Xtreme clutches at my work if u need a price, probably get the bearing with it..

I done a clutch by myself 1 night and didn't work out too well, i couldn't figure out how to put the clutch fork back on and had a mate come over and finish for me. Depends how good you are swinging a wrench, i have big hands and some of the bolts on the back of the box are a bitch lol..

But yeh glad too help bud,

Craig.

cool, sounds like it mite cost me a bit more than i liked :( mite just take it to my mechanic and see wat he says. just sucks coz i got a track day coming up and dont really wanna have something break. i did my clutch bout a year ago so itl suck if i gotta replace it., cost me $900. oh well thanks again for ya help, hopefully i can work it out soon

    • 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.
