HELP!!!

Does anyone know anywhere to get coolant and oil lines to and from the turbos for a R32GTR.

They were bent beyond repair upon removal and Im just wondering if I have to go through nissan or if there's somewhere else cheaper...

I figure that whilst Ive got the engine out it should be fixed right... just to save me doing it again

Well...

A number of the traders on this forum are wreckers, would be a good place to start?

Failing that, the yellow pages has a very large wrecker listing for australia/Jap imports etc if you actually have a look :)

Has anyone used hose fabricating places to make the coolant and oil lines to the turbos on a GTR?

I tried enzed and they said they couldn't do it but I get the impression he just didn't wanna do it. Anyone tried enzed or any preferred hose fabricators?

Im hoping to get braided teflon coated lines and was just wondering if anyone has any good places

Ok guys... please dont laugh, my wallet is in too much pain at the moment

enzed wouldn't touch it, another hose repairer we use at work wouldn't go anywhere near it.. and after some convincing, I finally got pirtek to make teflon coated braided hose for $850 for 4 coolant, and 2 oil hoses... it looks pretty cool, and all fits perfectly with the hks gt-ss and the dump pipes but OUCH...

I think the next upgrade to my gtr will probably require me to sell an organ, anyone know what a used kidney is worth? How about a liver?

I will check with my friend when i receive mine and get them made up if the price is right.

850 is crazy!

so very crazy unless they are using all earls fittings and braided hose etc like whats on Dirtgarages car. then 800 would seem about right..

well when you look at its its about 30ish x 8 for the fittings for the water and oil lines, then the lines are around 60 per meter depending on size, then there is any other fittings like bends and such, and if its all speedflow then the adapters for the thread to speedflow.

also, this guy can help with braided lines ect, GT MOTORSPORT, 17 yalgar road kirrawee (the dead end street like 3 factorys up from just jap), 02 95214389

  • 3 weeks later...
  • 3 months later...

I used -6 for the coolant and -4 for oil lines.

I could price it again this is what i used from memory

from coolant block on motor

2 x -6 to m14x1.5 @14

2 x -6 14mm banjos (use std banjo bolts) @20

3 x -6 90 deg braided @ 35

3 x -6 straight braided @ 16

1 x -6 90 deg male male @20

Then the oil side

i think out the block on motor

2 x -4 m12x1.25 @ 15

1 x -4 straight braided @ 20

3 x -4 90 deg braided @ 60 (billet)

2 x -4 M12 banjo @ 20

prices are approximates, but would be close. Be approx 500-600, i was able to get wholesale through speed flow as i buy heaps of this stuff so was alot cheaper, the 60 retail billet -4 goes to 35 wholesale.

Only think you need to check is the metric threads as i cant remember if they are 12 10 14mm etc.

This is only the lines under the turbos, the other coolant lines that go over the turbos i left metal.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
