hey does anyone know where i can find another fitting for the RB25 NEO water outlet to radiator (on the intake manifold) it has corroded and im struggling to find a new one.

i found a picture of what im talking about (this guy is holding a new one)

You can take the manifold off and get a pipe welded in place (any ally fabricator)and a bead welded on the end to stop the hoses blowing off, i did this with my 20DET to get rid of the adaptor that steps the hose to a smaller diameter, didnt cost much and it works fine

That part looks like it is supposed to corrode - that is - be the "sacrificial anode" in the electric circuit created by the coolant. In older cars i've worked on the thermostat housing typically performed this function. If you want to understand why, google galvanic corrosion.

tl:dr - only use the replacement Nissan part so that the head and/or block dont start corroding.

UAS Chrome Molly Upper Radiator Outlet Intake Manifold

Replaces often rusty factory one.

PRICE: $65

This is what mine looked like

Holy crap! It looks like tap water has been used in that cooling system.

Mine is corroded but not so bad I have to replace it just yet, but when I looked I was going to cut it way using a dremel and a tungsten bit. So slot it and then collapse it. Not sure if thats the best method but reckoned it could work. Be careful not to hit the alloy though, don't really want to scuff it too much.

Pretty sure you could then mike it up and get an exhaust place to make up a new one, if you only have to do it every 15-20 years trhen I don't see a big problem.

I had that issue about 2 years ago, I thought I posted here but I'll chime in Now

I took it to a mechanic and he said he'd seen it heaps, he said he would use a chisel and then collapse it like the other person above has said, then he had an exhaust place make a piece and roll a lip in it

I didn't want to have half a go and do something wrong and then have to tow it So let him do it for me

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
