Hello Peoples,

I am in the middle of a refresh and cleanup of the engine bay for my R33 series 1 GTST and have come across a part I just can't find anywhere. The steal water sleave in the intake manifold has almost completely corroded away and I can't find anyone who has a new sleave. It is the part the connects the intake manifold to the top tank of the radiator.

It was easy enough to pull out (just a quick pull with a pair of vice grips) but I can t find anywhere to buy a new one.

Has anyone had this issue? I have been to Nissan Parts a couple of auto parts suppliers and a hardware sore but can't find anything the exact right diameter. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A little bit of back story for anyone that is interested too: A friend and myself bought an R33 series 1 Manual early last year with the intensions on satisfying out need to tinker with cars and with the goal of building a reliable track car.

We have completely striped the interior and engine bay and recently committed to bit of work.

So far we have pulled all components from the engine bay (including Engine) and cleaned off all the oil and gunk from the last motor blowing (happened before we got the car). Removed the complete contents of the dash, and any other part that was not entirely necessary for track use. Cut open the wiring looms and taken out all the components that are not needed (air con, heater, and heaps of other bits and pieces), rewired the ignition to be push button with toggles for IGG and ACC power. In the process of replacing the Fly wheel, Radiator, adding oil cooler. And just a general clean up of unnecessary parts.

We are now at the stage of reassembling the car and would like to get it moving again but, this intake manifold water sleave seems to be the only part I can't get a hold of.

      Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
