the sad part is there are rusted out bombs that are blowing smoke getting around yet the coppers will pick on someone who puts better lights in their car so that they can see better at night.

I think that our regulations governing roadworthiness leave a lot to be desired. It seems that Lately all that the coppers are targetting is japanese imports.

But ah well that wont scare me out of making my car the way i want it as long as it is not a danger to me or anyone else.

Satanic, I do understand your statement of "you must remember that they are just LIGHTS!!! It is not going to kill anyone nor pollute the environment in anyway.", but it doesn't matter what state your in with the compliancing rules for any car. The RAWS have to follow these compliancing guidelines/rules to make sure the cars (in this case R34's) meet the ADR's.

In the case of the xenon's in the R34's, RAWS have to remove and dispose of the xenon units, then show proof of removal and disposal of those units with pics or a full inspection. I'm in Qld and the story of removing the xenon units is the same.

So where did you get your xenon units for your car Satanic?

svd164, I didn't know that it was a uniform rule throughout Australia.

I got the xenons on my car from the place where I got the car... the way I got them was the same as the way I told everyone above: by going to a car importer that does their own compliancing (add a little cash incentive, and then a direct swap with an un-complied car). I won't post who did it, but yeah basic concept.

The only way they could tell if every single xenon unit was destroyed would be to take down serial numbers which I don't think the units have.

This RAWS thing to me is a little bit flawed... but I'm still learning, maybe there is a legitimate reason why they have to do it.

      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

      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!

      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.
