G'day lads.

I'm currently trying to work my way through a few car related debts and unfortunately i'm also rapidly approaching rego time.

Now due to the above my funds are kinda short and theres a few small things that i need to get done before i can get everything reged up and sorted.

currently i'm going to need some new tires and a few other small things. but theres a catch.... i have an electrical fault!

Somehow the 33gtst has sprouted a short, now i cant afford to call out an auto electrician, cos if i did that i cant afford my tyres and rego and other important debts.

So what i'm offering is a slab of beer (type to be selected by the volunteer) to anyone who is willing to rid me of this problem once and for all. I had originally thought it was a didgy contact on one of my battery terminals but i've replaced it with no sucess.

Should it turn out not to be the most straight forward of things i am open to increasing the slab count.

For those who are interested i live in the northern suburbs of sydney.

PM me or post a reply if your interested.

i dont know whats wrong exactly, but my moneys on a power drain somewhere.

i checked today to see if its magically gone away (as sorts occasionally do) but iinstead its sent my battery dead.... good stuff.

Now electronics isnt hard.... its all wire crimping and insulation. but with all the various components and yards and yards of loom i wouldnt know where to start. i think i need to look over someones shoulder and learn.

but it used to be a case of turn key get flickering lights on the dash.... its now turn the key and be defened by silence and blinded by a lack of anything light like.

    • 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.
