The utes and sedans are very nice looking cars but they just dont cut it for me. Ive been in many of these XR turbos, manual and automatic, while they go very good for a standard car, theres no wow factor, it lacks that feeling of a special car.The interiors are fairly bland and the handling is below par to what ive become used to. Id seriously look more at the Holden SS or Maloo offering because they have a more upmarket feel, feel more powerful and have character. The XR ute does look nice, but is boring,

I personally love my line to bits. its different/funky wit tha 4 doors :) so i dont feel like "another line owner". Its the best car i have ever owned.

The XR6-T is noice. and if offered one i would take it. but its just not me. i have a hard time trusting australian or american reliability (each to their own as is said) . :D At the end of the day though. when i have good money and a better house and such. im buying a EVO 6.5. mmmMmmm

any1 give me some really good paint fixers numbers?

i wana either get it patched up so u cant tell or if thats not possible get it respayd.

Hey Driver,

I am the proud owner of a GT-T too. You will be in love again once shes all fixed up. As for getting it fixed...

My Dad owns Ginos Panel and Paint one of the top Panel and Paint shops in Perth, they will do an awesome job of fixing it up. The phone number is 9430 7288 website www.ginos.com.au (website DNS seems to be down right now, so try http://165.228.4.139)

My Brother also works there, he said that if a panel is keyed or scratched the correct way to fix it is paint the whole panel.

Anyways if you do decide to drop in, you will get quoted by either my brother or my dad, so they will recognise your car :) They may not be the cheapest around, but they will do the job properly and it will look awesome.

Cheers,

Jarred

    • 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.
