Pirtek can make up custome hoses

I had them make up some custom ones for my highflow

enzed?

get em to come to you (in mobile van) to measure up & fit what you are trying to do.

Easiest thing is to get a copper pipe cutting tool and cut the line that runs to the rear of the block off, and attached a new hose to the existing copper line.

Otherwise you basically have to take the engine out to get the existing banjo bolt out, and a new one in!

Pretty much everyone cuts them and attaches the new one to the old copper line about half way along. I just used EFI hose, some metallic coated heat shielding and 2 stainless hose clamps to connect the old line to the new line and it works a treat!

why dont you guys just remove that rear water line completely.

i did have it cut off with some hose pushed on to it, but i was never overly impressed with it as it didnt have a flair on the end of the steel tube, so i was allways concerned that it might blow off and then cook my motor.

when i changed to a high mount i had a look at where that hose went too. and it was suprisingly easy to remove entirely.

i allways thought it was near impossible to remove but took me less then 10 min.

simply undo the bolt into the back of the head, and then undo the hose clamp and pull it off. you can then run a brand new piece of high temp water line around the back and into the new turb with no fear of it ever leaking.

i know that sounds easy but it is tight, so a small 10mm spanner, and a long screw driver to get the clamp off, + a small pair of hands to help if you get stuck.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
