hey all

had a small pin hole in some hose behind the block the other night, wrapped it best i would with some race tape + cable ties..

lasted a few days till today the racetape has a tiny pin hole too!

my question is, if i pull the hose off n wrap it with 5-10 layers of racetape will it hold (my first on the side of the road attempt was only small patches as we didnt have room to fully wrap the hose... thus my cable tie idea thinking it would hold the tape in place.. it succeeded in holding the tape in place!)?

or should i not be a cheap kent n buy a new hose?

what is the hose called? (highlighted in red)

yea just get a new hose mate, cheap as. ITs a heater hose, im guessing water is pissing out, go to auto barn and get a hose plug or stopper. cut it whee the leave it and just block off the hose. its no essential and unless your in a real cold climate u wont need a heater..

Replacing it mite be a pain to loacted that one.

Dont even waste your time with pirtek they are a bunch of useless wankers. I swear that if the rest of them are like the ones here id rather smash my head against a brick wall.

Anyway, just lube up and goto nissan. probably be around 80 bucks.

I think I have this one bro. Will double check tonight if you want. I bought it from nissan ages ago as I ordered the wrong hose and they wouldnt let me take the other shit without taking this one as well.

Let me know if your still chasing

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
