Hey, I'm after a new hose as pictured and also the other similar ones if they're not too expensive...not sure where to get one from though? Also does anyone know what I'd call it or its function for general interests sake? I am in Adelaide.

Thanks for any help,

Tom

they are the breather hoses, they help equalise pressure across the head, and also recicrulate any excess pressure back into the plenum. you can get the originals from nissan, silicone ones (probably from traders like just jap on here) or custom braided lines.

BTW you should enclose your pod filter, its no good sitting there sucking in hot engine bay air. it might sound better than the standard airbox but its probably costing you power not gaining it

hey duncan ive always wanted to know, are the braided hoses from super cheap (around 60 bucks for a kit with i think 5 diff hose sizes) any good?

i know they say you get wat you paid for but does it really make that much of a diff wen the hoses are braided?

if its what i think you are referring to, they are just braided sleeves to make your hoses LOOK braided.

Thanks Duncan, so if they are a little worn and split at the ends do I need to replace it as fluid's not passing through?

Also, any suggestions on how to enclose the pod filter? I've seen threads on aftermarket boxes for sale, but for 33's and 34's or the do it your self cardboard/aluminium style...

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
