Well it just wouldnt be xmas without something happening to me.

Xmas eve was filled with alcamahol, food and all around shinanigans in which my phone was destroyed.

Xmas was spent being hung over and not really being able to do much for the whole day so i decided to go up to my uncles farm/vineyard with Josie as most of the family was already up there preparing a Hangi (for those that dont know). We got up there about 11am and started drinking and eating the massive amounts of food that were there.

Later i decided seeing as we were on a farm and ive always wanted to learn how to ride a motorbike i would get my cousin to bring out his trail bike and teach me how its done.... everyone was worried having known me for long enough to know im bound to push it too hard and damage myself in some form of way.

Much to everyones and my own surprise i managed to fang around the paddocks like id done it before... even popping a couple of monos in 3rd gear and not coming off.

Trying to encourage my gf to get on and have a go we decided that the 4 wheeler would be a much easier option as it was much more stable and "impossible" to come off and it was automatic. Boy were we wrong :)

She jumped on and took my cousins gf for a ride and they had a ball tearing around the paddocks at about 20ks an hour til she realised that she had to change gears and started getting some more respectable speeds of up to 50ks an hour. I kept ducking and weaving in and out of their way teasing them til she finally got off.

We both thought we'd get on the 4 wheeler and have a bit of fun where Josie was driving... i think she was trying to get her own back while she was in control for all the times ive scared the begeesus out of her in my cars :) unfortunately she wasnt counting on a barbed wire fence just jumping out at us from nowhere while we were doing 50kmh to which we plowed through... got airborn and straight into a pile of posts. As soon as the bike landed i bounced off the back slamming my arse into the ground, but its ok, a big rock broke my fall and lots of smaller sharp ones managed to dislodge a fair amount of skin from my leg and put it in a safe place so it didnt get any further bruising etc PHEW! :P

Josies true colours shone through tho as she had totally no regard for herself and as soon as we came to a stop and i was on the ground clutching at my arse she got straight up yelling "NI ARE U OK!" and came running for me worried i was, in her words, "broken" :)

She was in shock... i was in agony... the 5 people viewing were also in pain... on the ground 10m away in tears... BUT NO ONE BRANG THE VIDEO CAMERA! i was so pissed... would definately have been a $10,000 funniest home video. Lucky for us a secondary amount of posts were just lying on the ground because we were heading for the bull paddock where all the nasty bulls were kept and with the momentum we had we would have clean gone through there too, not to mention that fact that josie managed to avoid going through the wire itself and hit the post dead center which pushed the barbed wire down as we went over it.

Well... i think im going to get back into bed now and keep my arse on ice and hope the swelling around my legs and butt cheek goes down. Had a ball though... definately getting a bike... dirt or road im not sure on as yet.

i've done this before on a bike at my mates farm and there it was that time of day where it's not dark but not light, i managed to clothes-lin myself with a fence wire round the neck...riped me off the back of the little pee-wee i was ridin :P (his little brothers..man they're fun) i was jsut lucky it didn't brake the skin on my neck..and that i wasn't riding the trail bike i had been on 5 mins before...still bikes are awesome. i'd love one. good read 2

mmmmmm..... hangi :aroused:

Make sure that there is a video camera where ever you go for new years eve..... i'd hate to be reading another story like this and be told once again that there is no footage.

I hope your botty is feeling better soon.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • 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.
