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.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
