Nah , the tyres you have will be fine . Speeds are not that high and you will scrub them up anyway so best to use the crappy rubber.

We aren't looking for the fastest times around the tests , just a steady improvement.

Ken - they are absolutely awful to drive on - and theyve only got worse since cos the way ive been driving the car lately. When i took it out the back of Jarrahdale on Sunday - i found the car very difficult to control specially when cornering - so if i can get my hands on some loaners i would rather do that.

Been taking your depression out on the poor car ?

Trust me , it won't be too much of a problem if you don't get any.

Why don't you get some 2nd hand ones for a while before you can afford new ones.

And yes , I saw your post re. not buying crap tyres again but a lot of the problem was stuffed shockies causing the lumps in the tyres.

nah im getting second hand ones coming to me - couple of weeks away tho - its insurance n rego month im soooo poor in june - bloody paying rego on two cars!! But i cant not have new tyres - as dad said no point having a performance vehicle if you cant drive it properly - aidwin saw it bouncing all over the road very uneven - might as well be driving with square wheels.

Paul said he probably can get me some loaners.

Yes my poor car gets a lot of my fustrations taken out on it - hopefully it'll escape the polices attention tho.

besides im a competitive person - i wanna good time doing it for the chickies :)

Yea but it's a training day and I'm not interested who gets fastest time.

What we are trying to achieve is smooth control , good planning and recognition of car dynamics and how it can work for you.

I could probably jump in any of your cars and beat your times but that shows nothing.

I want you to better your own times , not some one elses.

cheers

ken

my car gets it if im pissed off so if im calm i'll better my own times - if im pissed i'll try and better everyone elses.

i dont know might just be the state of mind im in but i cant wait to get out there hehe

    • 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.
    • 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.
