One thing was surprised about what the fuel surge I got on the track. Car was fine with streets on but as soon as I put the real rubber on and had a go, after they warmed up the car would just die into turn 4 and over Lukie Heights. I just had a new Bosche 975 fitted and they say it's mounted exactly where the old pump was. I asked about a surge tank when it was fitted but they said it wasn't needed. I dunno what to do now.

hear hear Laurence.

Adz if you have the standard pump we can set up a good swirlpot pretty cheap using the Bosch. Just have to pay for a little welding is all and some hose. Full Sik race trick man.

I used the Bendix Ultimates on my gtst as well, if you have good tyres they seem fine, I never had a fade problem.

I think the thing that makes the biggest difference is quality fluid, once it has boiled once it is stuffed for ever. We used to use the Castrol SRF in the race car but have given up on it since we had to bleed it after every race (not every weekend, every session) and use the Motul RBF 600 stuff now.

Word to the wise team. Don't spend a lot of bucks to find this is not your thing. The only people who will be impressed with your mods is yourself. Non trackies have no concept of what you do and the rest of us trackies will have loads of respect for you just for having a go. Just do the safety basics of brake pads and car fluids and get out there, but gently at first. You will sooon establish what is absolutely necessary.

So true. There will ALWAYS be people in faster cars OR slower cars but can actually steer. :Oops: So no point spending lots of money only to go out there and try to match the times of others. The challenge i lay out for myself is to go out there and have the most fun... :D

People wont talk smack if you aint the fastest, or you spin...hell i actually respect ppl that are spinning, it means they are having a go. As long as its a whoops spin, not im a TOOL trying to be a drift king or hero under brakes around other cars.

And it looks like i might be out of action for a good while. At least until late October :D

Just showing R32 reliability...................................

 

They are getting old now.

The car is fine, my original engine was fine until i messed with it. So they are old but if you keep the maintenance up to them then they can still be reliable. Problem is finding another RB20 that has been well maintained without stripping the motor down before isntalling it.

Hahaha, so true. I remember Roy wasn't happy untill the semi's were balling up and had big blobs of rubber stuck to them. Mind you it took a 180 spin to get there :rant:

I'm keen for the HSV weekend - because on the Sat is also an MSCA sprint day at PI - and I've already paid for a day with them so I need to use it up!

We'll definitely have to get Duncan out to Phillip Island before he leaves anyways.

Maybe Roy can compete with Duncan in his rental if the 32 isnt back?

But Oct 24 - Maserati Day at Sandown has to be done also. Good day out to give you something to aspire too. You go to a day like PIARC and come first and not feel the same urge to go faster as what you do at the Maserati day where every second car goes flying past like you are standing still.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      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!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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.

      Lock up the old for sale / wtb threads.

      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.
