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?

Well my day went from good to very bad..

I got up this morning and fixed the nose ..took a bit but got it done..

I took it for a test drive..(not good)

Had water gushing out of over flow like a preasure cleaner..Bla Bla Bla

At the end of the story i have done the Head Gasket

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:

    • I've been reading a lot lately about unsprung weight and how beneficial it can be to reduce it for driving on the track, given my semi's only have another day or two in them I am throwing around the idea of some lighter wheels and a square set up. I have 265/35/19's and 245/40(?)/19 Federal 595's at the moment. The wheels and tyres are super heavy. I looked up my wheel weight online and got 14.5kg naked. Not sure if this was 8.5 (front) or 9 (rear) but that's a lot. I have also been reading about the benefits of a square setup. Much better rotation and potentially less understeer.  When I throw these together I'm thinking about a 17x9 or 18x9 square (preferably under 10kgs per wheel) with 245 or 255's. I can get some cheap 17x8.5 BMW M Sport wheels, they weight 10.5 kg's each but at 8.5 wide could probably only get 245's on them? I know they come with 255's from factory but semi's are a bit chunkier. Otherwise it will be aftermarket wheels in a 9" width. Most of the other BMW wheels are heavy unless you pay a squillion dollars for some M wheels.  Although, the E46 M3 Style 67's could be good but I'd have to buy 2 sets to square them up.  My car has a tickle over 400hp and about to put an LSD in also, is 245 a little thin for a square setup? It kinda feels that way to me. Also, is there any tangible benefit to having 18's over 17's? Is the footprint demonstrably bigger? From those of you who went to light(er) wheels after heavy buggers, did you notice it much?
    • Start with the R32 GTR wiring diagram. The ECU is essentially the same, so the pinouts are good. The details around ECCS relays, etc might differ a little bit, but the reality is that you need to get ignition power to kick the ECU so it powers up the ECCS relay which brings the rest of the ECU up. This also gives power to the other circuits that are needed to make the engine run, like the ignition coils, etc. All of this is visible on the R32 diagram and should give you a strong guide, even if it's not quite the same as the R33. As to specifics - I'm pretty sure no-one can help you from afar, as there is no way to know what mistake or omission has been made in connecting stuff up. It always turns out to be "LOL, I shorted something and an entire wire vanished out of the loom", or "We never connected X or Y main connector", or "shit, you mean I need to have that fuse installed?".
    • hello wanted some insight on what my problem could be so i swapped a RB26DETT into my r33 gtst used a R33 GTR engine harness and im using a haltech platinum pro. The car cranks but no start the ecu isn’t getting any power now im trying to find out why i cant seem to find any schematics  or diagram for the engine harness for the r33 gtr anything helps thank you.
    • hahahaa @GTSBoy that is my last resort. Like use a cardboard and cut it using the indicator as a reference. But I was winging my luck to see anyone had a spare bumper because drawing the outline off the hole is always easier and less chance of mucking it up
    • Admittedly in that screenshot its doing about 13psi but later on in the log theres definitely spikes to 16. What is missing though is the massive peak, then a big drop and then a recovery. While it does go a little higher than I would like on base pressure, I think it's reasonably safe to assume that boost control via the mac valve should be a lot easier to control from here on out. I wasn't game to hook up the mac valve today as it's very wet and it's on the verge of fighting traction as it is.
