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.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
