long story short guys i have a S2 R33 and i have no choice but to replace all the water hoses under the intake plenum. why might you ask.... when my second hand motor was fitted on of the hoses under the plenum didn't have a clamp on it which caused coolant to get sprayed over the the other hose and caused them to turn to utter shite bla bla bla. the problem i am face with now is that to replace the hoses i'm going to have to go genuine but some of the hoses are worth $70+. now i know the rb26 has a complete silicone water/heater hose replacement for around $300, is there such a kit for the 25 are there any other options.... any ideas guys

Thanks

And im pretty sure the GTR "kit" does not count the ones under the plenum etc etc.

For some of them you can just get away with generic hose.

I've replaced a couple under the plenum on my RB20 from years ago, just used cut-pieces of normal rad hose

sorry by generic are you guys referring to hoses with formed bends that you can cut to length. i think this is a pretty important topic as these motors are getting pretty old and these hoses are bound to go pop one day.

Thanks guys i'l post up a picture of what my block look like thanks to a very small coolant leak from one of these hoses.

just a quick note i got my call from Nissan and the cost for 6 hoses is just on 400 and i require another that they are sourcing.

I would imagine that if you search you will find my fairly detailed reply about me doing EXACTLY this about 1 month ago - also linked to NISSAN diagrams with all hoses under the plenum with part numbers. And description of what generic hoses I used.

Generic hose will fit most, but you will need the heater hoses both in and out from Nissan ~$30 each + you will also need a 120° bend of I think 3/8" - this can be cut from a multi-fit at your local Repco (or genuine). The rest is generic - you might want to get the 4-way metal joiner new also, likely to be farked.

I have a lot of these genuine hoses in good condition due to doing a greddy-style plenum swap. If you are interested & can take photos of what you need, PM me with pics. Will check if I have what you need...

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
