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:

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

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
