Hey kids, I'm about to go and get some gear for a pod filter, adaptor and probably some other stuff like gear knob, oil and oil filter for my gts, can anybody recommend a shop that is close to the clayton/mount waverly area that you know and would have this stuff in stock?

Cheers,

Evolution R is good, but pretty expensive (Unit A2, 2A Westall Rd, Adamco Business Park, Clayton 9543 6255)

Or try Ice performance, i had my clutch put in there and they're really good... address is at:

www.iceperformance.com.au

By the way, if you are getting a pod filter, TRUST Airnx are REALLY loud; they sound like a mega blow off valve when you back off the throttle. It gets kinda annoying, i had a K&N on my old car which sounded sweet but wasn't as loud...

dont think ice sell nobs and stuff :P

might wanna try somewhere like Auto1 i think there is a shop in bayswater....

i got my pod filter from there.... just a simota one but it does the job and only costs like 80 all up

Unfortunately, Inark is right. We don't supply things like gear knobs, pretty lights or gauges.

We can however get pod filters, piping, oil filters, oil and the like.

Evo R in Clayton supplies most of the gear your describing. Give them a call.

ok ok, SMGII caught him napping. Also, didn't use 'launch control' - did you know that if you use it 5 times (the OBC records it) it will void the warranty?? It is in the Users manual...

gotta love that ! silly rich people's cars.. in fact new cars in general!

hahahaha thats gotta sux, the computer dobbing on u to the car dealer!!! :lol:

I don't normally drag and I don't normally 'brag' about this kinda thing. But I wanna set things straight. I think the M3 SMG is really good! One of the best, based on my experience. I got about 225rwkW (RB25DET) and I dragged this ol' man in SMG M3 once. ;)

The way he launch, I've never seen a better traction off the line. It was so quick and efficient! It must have felt like an F1 car. And changing gears, too... I'm always a fan of the M-series, but this car is my fave. Replacing the E30 M3!

I barely had traction in 1st and going to 2nd. I lost, not by much (probably by 5 inches or so) but I still lost. And all the while I keep on hearing that the SMG suck... I wanna know what they think would be better than that. Don't tell me it's a Ferrari 'coz I never even dream of purchasing one! ;)

By the way, that Don guy is nice...

I agree, Evo-R ain't cheap... But they do a pretty good job at keeping customer happy. Get to know him and he'll help you out with the pricing... :D

    • 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.
