Rb25 Intake Manifold Water Pipe Sleave

[Yagnol]

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.
