No sorry guy's i can't provide a photo...due to one of our Cruiser girl's breaking the camera last week....

For those that have Skyline's if you can stick your head right under (if it's there) it will be bolted to the steel just down from the rear wheel....

ill try to locate a camera.....

ok i had a bit of a look under mine and im not sure if im looking at the same thing as you...ok but here goes

on mine i see this black i guess basket looking thing with vents in it....and it is bolted into the rear panel...as far as i can tell this is just a blastic cover to protect the things on the inside... as my car is different to most other r33's i have a resivor in the boot for my active diff. my plastic basket thing i would say is there to protect this and its contents eg such as the hose coming out and going to the diff and also there are a few other gizmos in there that may be related not sure??

Left or right side...... on the exhaust side...(LHS) There is a hose and vent thing on mine,i think that is for runoff of something...is there anything on the otherside..... That's where the one in question is

I thought it might be a secret compartment for something.... but it is exposed to the elements so that theory went out the window....

Prolly a vent into the bottom side of the boot. Have a look to see if it has a rubber flap deal, or, from the inside of your boot take the trims out (drivers side) and ferret down a bit and you should see the vent and inside of the basket thingo....if it is the thingo I am thinking you mean....

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
