Hi all

Being dam hot here in Melbourne today (like 40 ) i had the aircon on and started to feel the air getting warmer. I pulled up at the lights and noticed steam. temp guage never got over half thank God.... :D

I was about 500 m from home . Soon as i got there (home) i looked under the bonnet and the steam was coming from behind the motor so i thought heater hose . turns out to be the little 1 under the heater hoses

I would have to say that its a utter bitch to get to..

Any 1 had this hose go ?

And whats the best way to get to it ?

Cheers

PS

OH yeah i have a R33 GTS-t with the Rb25

from memory can you see if its just come off the nipple at the head area as if it has just move the coil wires out of the way and have a better look, if it has you may be able to push it back on and then clamp it back up, but yep pointy nose pliers never go astray on there

If you're talking about the same one as I am, it's not that hard.

Is it the water feed/return line for the turbo? How it wraps aroudn the back of the block and has a little bit of rubber hose on it?

If so, check otu the tutorial section. For the r32 turbo swap thread.

You probably won't be able to undo the 24mm banjo witht he oil line in the way, so i'd just removoe the oil line. that'll take 2 secs.

Then unbolt the 24mm banjo, reach around the block and undo the hose clamp. etc etc

Or maybe, you might be able to just change the hose without removing the water and oil line all together.

Just giving you two ways to do it if you get stuck one way or the other

i think he means the feed to the turbo and yeah it isn,t fun took me a while to get it on and i had every angle long nose pliers that exist, lots of swearing to get the hose on and then the clamp cause it sorta catches ont eh bend where it goes round the back of the block. good luck.

Cheers matt.

yeah, that's what I figured, so that's why I thought remove the water line,s o that you can replace the hose, and do the clamp up first without the line being in the way when the space is already tight. Then you can put the water line into the other end of the hose, and do that clamp up?

Hey man, don't mean to question you but are you sure that your head gasket is actually blown, if so can you tell me how you came to the conclusion? If you didn't bleed the system and you took it for a drive and your gauge went way up you may have done the head gasket but it still may be ok.

let me know.

Cheers Matt.

I would love to think it wasnt the gasket......but

the water has gone from a nice green to a light brown thick oil based

and when i tried adding water at the service station it kept blowing back at me

and trying to get home i didnt put the cap on tight.. But it still built up enough preasue to blow

the top radiator hose to bits..

bad luck mate ;)

same hose i'm pissed off about right now, finished my rb25/30 conversion last week and discovered that this hose is on the verge of busting (spraying out at higher temps).. it's twice as fun to get to when you have the added height of the 30 block >_< then you've got to deal with the brake lines being in the way and all sorts of other fun stuff :laugh:

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
