As on topic. See the two small arrows? What are those two hoses for and what would happen if if my R33 doesn't come with them?

They don't look like they're connected to the heater core.

Looks like the heater core has been bypassed, only a problem if you want heat in your car. If you remove the bypass and hook up the heater core you may find coolant pooling on the passengers floor. The second photo looks like the heater hoses were removed with the engine, this is normal practise but the rubber end caps on the actual heater core tell a story of a failed heater core.

Shouldn't there be two holes on the engine as well since on the 1st photo one of the hoses is being connected there. That means there should be two holes on the engine as well which were not blocked off.

There is. You can see where one goes as its right next to the fitting it connects to normally at the back of the block and the other is at the front of the block but has a small piece of hose that connects it to a metal pipe then the heater hose connects to that close to where the other heater hose connects.

From what i can see (look at images), i don't have that metal pipe that goes from the thermostat housing to the back of the engine >< There were so many hoses that i can't even make out what pictures i was shooting.

All that has been done is to remove both hoses from the heater core, and join the ends with a short piece of steel tube.

Ah! That is right BUT i don't have the 2 hoses that goes to the heater core so the only possibility is that it's bypassed from the engine block side.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
