hey guys,

i have had a search. where does the water return line go to from the turbo, i know it runs behind the block but where does it actually go into the block. im putting a gt3040 on and need to know as i need to make up some new water lines. and how much pressure runs through there.

the water return is the lower fitting on the right hand side of the pic , at the end of the chain and has white dots on it...

the one above it is the feed.

ps .. not my pics .. cant remembers whos that are either :D

oh ok, RB25 water feed comes out of the back of the plenum into a rubber hose for about 100mm, then into the steel line you see in the pic from my last post.

as it is done there, just use a rubber or braided line onto that and to what ever fitting is on the turbo...

putting a hose on there with a hose clamp is fine for water, i did that for a gt28rs on a sr20 and it worked fine.. even double hose clamp it if makes u sleep better at nite

enzed told me that u cant do it with oil but cos the pressure will come up under the hose clamp and make the hose slip off..

i had the 100mm hose break on me, so you might wanna look into replacing it anyway.. only took me 20-30 mins to do, but yeah, lose some skin off the old knuckles. :)

you could undo the 10mm bolt that holds the metal pipe onto the head if you want, then have that steel line stretched at the end to create a bead for the hose if you want...

The feed actually comes straight from the back of the waterpump, and runs through the plenum and around the block and to the turbo. If you ever get an aftermarket plenum like a greddy item, you need to plumb the waterfeed straight from back of pump and run it to the turbo.

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
