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.

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
