OK - I'm getting sick of all the 'can I drive XXX on P's' threads, and thought it's time for some general car-fan discussion...

The topic:

Which car sounds the best straight out of the showroom?

Yep.

Do you like the dak-dak of a 60's Kombi? Perhaps the boxer thump of a WRX? The F1-esque scream of a 355 on noise? Which car sounds the best to you?

BTW: For mine, it's the Maserati 3400GT - in any of it's guises.

That quad-exhaust V8 just sounds so sweet - even under mild acceleration.

As for buying one... I'm sure I could think of many other ways to part with 250 gorillas.

They can continue to overtake me and sound nice doing so.

Can you drive it on your P's??? :lol:

My brother an i went halvies in a 65 Impala with a 427. I have to say, it sounded tuff. There is a white 64 Vette across the road from work, every time it fires up run to the window. So basically old school carbie V8s with nice pipes etc

bloody dinosaurs.

:lol: jk

note also he said "off the showroom floor"

    • 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.
