hi

my r32 gtr came with no heater hoses and my cd workshop manual doesnt show them.

I can tell the bottom hose at the heater  is the long one but at the motor end does it go to the block inlet or the pipe coming from the thermostat housing :P

thanx

As it happens I'm doing mine at the moment as I have the plenum off and decided to replace all the hoses so I only have to do this once (in theory). The heater hoses actually aren't all that expensive from Nissan (well I didn't think so anyway.

As you've probably seen there are two hoses attached (or should be in your case :D) to pipes that pass through firewall on the passenger side near the ABS actuator. The bottom of these hoses is the 'longest' - it runs behind the engine to the drivers side, angles down near the clutch master and then attches to a fitting at the back of the block above the starter motor. The second hose is actually 2 separate hoses that are joined at a sensor behind the motor near the ignitor box. It pretty much follows the same path as the first hose, but joins to a metal tube arrangement attached to the bottom of the plenum. The metal tube feeds into a fitting near the thermostat housing via another short rubber hose.

After all that I'd say it would be very difficult to replace the hoses without removing the plenum and it all becomes obvious once it is removed.

If you want I can give you the part numbers for the hoses and they're probably around the $100 mark for them all.

Excellent reply thanx

Im having trouble getting the long one onto the block fitting trying to do it from underneath after i moved the starter out of the way.

I bought hoses 1 long + 1 short =$96 and 6 plenum gaskets =$25 so i need the other short hose  plus the sensor(sensor joins the 2 short ones???) 

wasit easy to get the plenum off while in the car???????

I intended removing it but was gunna wait till i got a oil filter relocation kit. and do it all together

Ive got a couple of days wait for a new radiator so i wanna do the hoses and the timing belt while the rad is out but cant afford the filter relocation yet. then off for a run up to brisbane.

There are inlet and and outlet hoses to the heater core at the firewall. One of them is a single long hose, but the other is made up of 2 shorter hoses joined by the sensor. Nissan sells the hoses individually, so there are 3 hoses + the sensor. On top of that there's another short hose near the thermostat (you probably can't even see that one.....if it's there in your car (??).

Plenum was easier to get off than I expected, but still fiddly. The 'secret' is to unbolt the small 'sub' plenum from the main plenum (the 'sub' plenum has the AAC valve attached - in fact it's best remove the AAC valve first). You also need to disconnect the fuel pipes plus a few other small bolts attached to the bottom and side of the plenum - all good fun as it has to be done by feel (ie blind). I also found I needed to use a range of 12mm spanners and small sockets to get the plenum nuts undone.

I'd recommend doing all the hoses, etc after you take the plenum off.

Heater hose PN's:

92410-05U00 - long heater hose

92402-05U00 - hose from engine to sensor

92401-05U00 - hose from sensor to firewall

27724-05U00 - sensor

14055-05U11 - hose at thermostat housing

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
