whilst driving the other day i accellerated from first to second and the intercooloer piping on the right side blew off from the silicone hose as did the vaccum hose from the blowoff valve to the plenum have recently brought new vaccum hose and new stronger hose clamps but the intercooler piping still seems to blow off any ideas on what would be happening? any help would be great

Take all the joiners apart and give them a good wash and degreasing! It's not about how tight you clamp it back together, if there's oily residue between the rubber joiner and metal piping it will still slip off!

I learned the hard way too :P

also if the piping does not have a lip or little weld tacs on the end get these done that way the clamp cant slip over the edge also

The Ebay IC cooler kit I got for my VL didn't have this either, I just made a cone out of wood and bashed that into the pipes to put a flange on it...

as above, give it a good clean with brake cleaner or such to ensure no residues and then have a crack on the pipes with some heavy grit glass-paper to scuff it up and give the pipes something to hold on to. other wise take them to an exaughst shop and get a bead of weld tacked around it.

As other have said, but instead of finding something to bash the pipe to make a lip, I got one of those adjustable wrenches and slowly worked my way around the edge and flared it out, worked perfectly since because that was the pain in the ass one I had to keep half pulling off my front bar to get to.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      Physically, you'd expect it to turn the motor 11/8ths faster than a standard one, but I'm not sure of specifics

      Ironically the GTT was quite reliable in the 7 years of ownership. From memory I've only had to replace a radiator and coilpacks out of inconvenience

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15
