have you connected all other end clamps? if so undo them a little to allow for some movement. It should just slot back in unless everything else is locked tight, with a bit of a wiggle a bit of lube and a few choice words.

i havent put the hose clamps back on yet..not enough gap or space to wiggle the other end...not even enough space to push it down and slot back in.!! really frustrating me now!! i got it out easy at the first place but putting it back in is an asS thing to do!!!

anymore trick to slot it back in guys??

what do you mean by not enough room to push it back down and slot it in, Try completley disconnecting the other end of the pipe so you have more movement to push it on then connect the other end when the throttle body end is on....where bouts are you?

sorry mate but the only way to get it on is to persevere at it and have plenty of patience. i always have trouble with my piping yet i eventually get it back on. Im missing a couple fingers off my main hand and i can do it.

well as u could see on the photo,i got the left side out, but the other end i couldnt, no way i could disconnect completely at the other end..pretty much dead end...i live in altona..next to altona beach or altona station...

There is no real "trick", just have to make it go in :blink:

Sometimes a tiny bit of oil around the inside edge can help

i know what u mean, but thats not even close to my case, my hose is not even facing evenly with the other end/inlet that you can just lube it and slot it back in...hose is slightly few m.m. above the inlet manifold and tried pushing it down to face the inlet and so i can just slip it thru but thats where the problem is, cant push it down far to face the inlet and then in...argggg

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
