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

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
