Hey !

I have just fitted an RB25DET Engine & Gearbox into my 1976 Datsun 260Z. I have also fitted an aftermarket Air-Con system because the standard 70's system just didnt measure up !

Anyway, I DESPERATELY need somone to help me identify which of the 2 hoses in the attached picture should go to the INLET side of the new heater core. I cant find anything in any of my manuals that tells me which is inlet and which is outlet.....

I have an idea what is correct, however so as not to influence your ideas, i wont say what it is.....Please only reply is you KNOW FOR A FACT that your answer is correct - from past expereince, when you ask a question on forums, you get so many answers and end up even more confused !.

Anyway, thanks for your help.....

Woza !!

Thanks heaps tukr32 - I appreciate your help !

Unfortunately, this doesnt offer any clues - I have this in my manual too. The arrows DONT indicate the direction of flow - they indicate the next section (diagram) and part number that connects to it....Bummer hey ! lol

Cheers anyway ! :D

I agree - those are the 2 pipes in question, however how do you know for sure that the one you have marked as flow, IS actually flow, and vice versa ?....Im not being argumentative, merely trying to satisfy myself in my own mind. If you are right, then what confuses me, is that the return pipe goes back to just behind the water pump, which is pumping water out at pressure - that water will want to go through that pipe that you have marked as a return.....

Warren im pretty sure that the return connects back to the thermostat housing not the water pump- if the thermostat isnt open ,the water will continue to circulate around the engine without passing thru the radiator.The one marked return would have to be the return because when the thermostat opens,,the water returns to the radiator ,.as you know hot water rises thru the radiator/cooling as it goes then flows back into the top of the engine,,Does that make sense?, I'm 99.9% sure the diagram is marked correctly.........plse,correct me if i'm wrong,

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      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.

      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
