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

    • Seems to be the case mate , still an OK price for a grey import.
    • I’m interested in the carbon diffuser fins and Toshiba MFD screen replacement if they’re still available.
    • @GTSBoy yeah i know it was not the "great" idea but it is and option...but i think i will stay on no BoV rather then trying to make it work with "half" this and that. But that GReddy FV2 is cool...i like that you can make it like stock if you want (and have/make the custom pipes) For other thanks! it was alot of information. But for the sound...a dont rly "like" both of them...specialy if they are loud...but if i "must" choose i would rather have little whooosh rather than sutututu with no BoV....BUT that is what is i gonna get. So for the all info i gather. In my case:  No BoV is not that bad cuz it is stock...and iam used to put N/clutch right after rpms are around 1000 so it should be ok...just need to avoid "big" drops. But i do not have the engine in the car so i do not really know how "bad" or good it is. But as i had that little test drive it looked ok. The atmo BoV should be worse car would dump to much fuel specialy between the shifts...so without proper tune/ECU i dont want that. BUT with that...car should drive ok with no problems right? (i do like there is less piping wih this solution) 🙂 
    • Usually an RB20 won't stay in closed loop idle anyway. The O2 sensor gets too cold, stops swinging.
    • They aren't, but it depends on what interests you about an R32-R34. If it's the front engine I6 turbo that tunes well with a manual transmission an E92 335i 6MT is so incredibly cheap. You can get a super clean one for 20-25k USD tops. Put an LSD in it, tune it, have fun with it. If it's the general idea of AWD + turbo and a manual transmission the 996 Turbo is absolutely much more expensive, it's less practical but it's also basically a complete track-ready car from the factory. At least the Mezger doesn't have heaps of oil control issues. And in the US the 996 Turbo and R33 GTR are roughly the same price these days. 996 maybe a bit more now that the hype has abated for old Skylines here.
