Hello everyone , I have an r33 GTR and ive had the intercooler rubber where the twin turbo cross over pipe joins to the intercooler pipe just to the left of the air box next to charcoal canister , it's split right the way around and pretty much made my car die in it's ass . I still got it home thank god .

Now I need to get one ASAP !! In Penrith NSW . in willing to drive and pick it up but this is my daily car . It's 100% stock at the moment other then increased boost and oil cooler (n1) .

Someone please help me out and steer me the right way ! I used some cloth tape to get home but it ended up splitting more the before lol .

Checked the F/S section?

People usually wrecking/changing to hard pipe or going single & selling the turbo piping section so you might need to buy a couple pipes/hoses - good for backup though :)

Might not find one "today" however.

I'm also sure you could get them from Nissan, for that kinda item I reckon it wouldn't be too expensive if you can get someone to order it @ Trade.

I don't want a hard pipe kit I want the stock hose. Surley someone here must have a stock hose they have upgraded ?

If you read a little closer I said SILICON not hard pipe, why buy a pipe that is 16or so years old which could then split again. But hey your decision

yeah, nah, i once priced one up from nissan at trade.

apparently the original has been discontinued and superceeded with another pipe, and is worth(if memory serves) around the $370 mark.

post in wanted to buy section, thats how i got helped out.

or go with the black silicon pipe as previously mentioned from just jap...

looks stock, handles more power.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
