Interesting, a nice looking c211 you have there. Its obviously an import, i would hazard to guess that you have the only c211 gt-ex turbo in Australia. How much did it set you back? Have you tuned the motor aside from the intercooler?

$200. im in nz. some old guy was trying to sell it to a wrecker!!

that i/c is interesting...easy to do?

pretty easy, had to make a adaptor plate for the new trottle body and had to moun i/c water pump and radiator. made a big difference but not enough, have taken all the emission gear off it .

I've been sort of considering using one of them on my DR, by big difference what do you mean? reckon it's worth it form a budgetry point of view?

Thanks.

well it made a difference buy being able to wind up the boost and to stop pinking, although it depends on where you set the timing to. mines about 23 degrees. i forgot to mention i had replaced the turbo with a r31 rb20det turbo and i have been running avgas in it to. im running about 13-15 psi boost.

thats why i did it, i needed to get some more poke and didnt want to spend a cent, but i got sick of the intercooler pump noise pretty dam quickly. must be stuffed. probably not really worth it in the long run really. will be fitting a front mount intercooler soon dont want it tolook to wanky tho!!

    • 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.
