Hi alI

I recently got a leak in one of my heater hoses on my r33 gtst, so while the car is apart

i thought i may aswell replace all the hoses to save myself doing it all again in a few months.

i have searched and havnt come up with much luck in getting a kit that has all the hoses in it,

i have found one on ebay. so i was wondering if anyone has used it before or know if it is any good?

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/silicone-radiator-ancillary-hose-kit-Nissan-Skyline-EC-R33-GTS-25t-RB25DET-93-98-/250919410377?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a6bf65ac9

Or if anyone knows somewhere i can get a kit from?

thanks owen

Personally, I would use stock rubber ones from Nissan but they will cost a fair but more than that

Nissan don't do a kit you would need to either get on the phone or less painfully go to Nissan and stand there with them on the computer and order each hose

Not sure about silicon hoses and coolant

Yeah ebay will be the only place you will get a kit like that. . .. . you COULD get all those hoses from nissan but you will get raped by them for it! i reckon go ahead and fit these hoses but keep an eye on them for any ballooning or signs of failure, they would have to be better than the crusty old hoses that are on there now, please use new hose clamps

thanks for your help guys. Yeah i will go price up the hoses from nissan first as i would prefer to use them.

Grab part numbers when they quote it. If they aren't too expensive post them here and it will make it easy for others with the same dilemma.

There is a cheapish alternative to some hoses,

The fairly straight ones you can use straight hose, for bends theres brass elbows, you can even go and look at the pile of hoses at supersht, there are useful sections that can be cut out.

The rest, Nissan. some hoses have to be just right or they dont fit.

Did this on my 33 a few weeks back, the mechanic made a whole set of custom hoses with generic hose pieces and elbow bends, saved me a FORTUNE, and looks roughly the same. had heaps of trouble fitting them behind the engine though.

nissan wont be cheap, i paid $300 for a set of hoses for my r32 gts-t and that wasnt including the 2 big heater hoses or radiator hoses - just the hoses that run under and through plenum

while i had the plenum off i also had the fuel injectors cleaned and tested while they were out by a mobile guy

as i said, i personally wouldnt use any other but nissan - but i use car on the track too so i dont mess around with things that can be done properly pretty easily like that

the worst bit is if you have an issue after you do the work its not easy to fix taking that plenum off is a hassle, i havent done it on an rb25 but it looks like there is even more involved with that

for my rb20 i just used proper hoses and new good quality hose clamps from enzed - issue fixed permanently

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
