Recommended Posts

ok

re-designed the heater hose system on my rb26.

Not keen on running the turbo coolant line around the back of the head. Personal preference.

This is what I came up with.

Will it work ?

See any problems ?

Any suggestions ?

Can post up what it looked like orginally later tonight but keen to hear from guru's that already know the rb26 heater / water system.

Also please excuse the shitty paintshop pic .... drawing not my thing.

Your diagram is a little too ghetto for me to even understand :P

Is it birds eye view? I spent a fair amount of time thinking about lines and what not, but still cant figure out your drawing, sorry man.

lol ghetto and I was going for more a punk style.

Its a birds eye view from the underneath which probably doesn't help things.

The right hand side is the front off the motor, the left the rear obvious.

The top section is the plenum side, underneath mostly or if the plenum wasn't there.

One thing to note the AAC / cold start valve has been removed from this system,. might be why it looks so foreign.

How is it I post a thread asking for help and end up just giving information away without anything back ???

Yes its messy, it is a mock up :)

Good Christ, your missing the ACC and distribution block thingo.

Yep I took it off :D

I think I give up with the help, cheers anyhow.

Can the mods delete or lock this thread ???? or can I do it ??

butters your drawing is quite easy to follow mate...if you know what your looking at and talking about.

the feed off the block (front and rear) can be ran under the engine and up to the heater core...the only problem i can see is the right angle bend through the firewall. As for the coolant feed around the back of engine, just block it off tee feeds together and run to the front.

I thought so but I drew it so made sense to me ... lol

Thats a good idea, Hadn't thought about that. Was stuck in the follow stock mode there.

That will make it a lot easier, cheers for that.

    • What are you doing with the car? Drags, sprints, racing? A decent upgrade of dba 4000 rotors, good quality pads (endless, project mu, intima are all I have used), quality fluid and braided lines. All have held up to multiple big track days and street duties. No need for big fancy kits as some also require significant energy to come upto operating temp. Look at 350z caliper and rotor upgrade too.  @Dose Pipe Sutututu comment on them and did a good write up.
    • I've driven that one and it's a great deal and drives nice. The owner definitely treats it right on track. You would have gotten it for what you paid for this one too.   Keen to see what you do to this one. 
    • I have a question with regards to R34 GTR guards. All the info here is quite old. Useful, but old. At what point does the bumper itself become a clearance issue with wide wheels on a R34 GTR, specifically the part I've drawn in red here: All of the info that people post about implies that 285 is as far as you'd go before scrubbing becomes an issue, but they speak of hitting the inner plastic liners, not the bumper itself. Just how wide could you go if you took the liners out? Has anyone done it? I have been messing with my own car and spacers and heavily cursed my lack of planning, but I might not feel so bad if there's actually no gains to be had by going a GTR guard and front bar combination for $5k+ of money I do not have after spending about that much already on my solution which now has problems. (Woo) At least I now know why GTR guards and bumpers flare out like this over their GTT lesser cousins. I feel that in 2024, someone has gone further and attempted to run 315's or somesuch on the front of a R34 GTR. If you have, please post. If you're tried and failed for some other reason definitely post so I feel better about my mistakes
    • Genuine URAS Type R front guards in FRP. These will fit a GTT. They will only fit a GTT. If you have a GT or GTT and want wider fenders with a Z tune look up top, this is what you want. You use this with a regular GTT fitment bar. Not a GTR bar. They fit GTT guard liners and plastics, not GTR items. So if you're reading this thinking "Ah! I have a GTT or GT and want wider front guards that bolt directly on, but do not want the hassle of changing my bonnet and bumper and plastics and undertrays or anything else, this is what you want. The fitment is annoyingly perfect. I really would rather someone pick these up in person and not ship them. SE Melb.
