Hey all, Ever since i bought my R34 GTT 4 months ago, ive been wondering what these weird clip/brackets are.

They are on the left side of the passengers foot space, and they look like they are stock items. Does anyone know what use to be in these things?

Thanks

No not yet... i've been advised not to on the Tiptronics... causes more problems than worthwhile.

Just get a FMIC and you'll get plenty of turbo noise :)

As for the flare, for completeness ONLY I'm thinking about going to a marine store and buying one (or maybe multi pack to share with other members - save money). Anyone know any hardcore football rioters or good marine stores?

OMFG THANKYOU for sorting that out....those clips have been a four year mystery for me. I've seen them on a few cars me or my family has owned over the years. A couple of XF falcons i had BOTH had them, i couldn't figure out wtf they were for.. now i know :lol: :lol:

here's a few pics for you of how it should look.

it's actually pretty rare to find these things still in a car unless like sewid you have imported the car and taken it out yourself.

this one is slightly past it's use by, 1997, i've always wondered what would happen if it was lit...

      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.

      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.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
