can i blow it back with a air compressor to unblock?

can i hook the turbo and all other lines up and start the motor will this unblock itself and then hook it on the turbo? but 90% sure its the renturn water line so it wont do f**k all if thats the case......

Just jam a bit of coat hanger in the end until you get through the muck and then pump some water through the engine with the hose to flush it out properly before connecting to anything.

Better to get rid of it now. It's not a big issue, i had to do the same when going back to a water cooled turbo.

Tryed unblocking with metal wire only got so fare and wouldn't budge thinking bout on hooking both hoses and gettin the air conpresser onto it blow all the shit out

either that or buy a new hose

go online and buy a datsun L26 or L28 Oil filter stud.Basically you want to find one for the 240z or early 280z.

This will allow you to delete the oem oil cooler.

You can install a greddy oil filter relocation kit or any sandwich plate to run your oil cooler.

It's best you shop for a aftermarket oil cooler

There are some cheap ones out there that work fine for the RB20/RB25.

This does requires to move and plug some of the water hoses.Nothing hard.

Super easy to do.

Not sure who is getting confused here but I think op means fitting in inlet manifold is blocked. The water tube Runs between the fuel rail and head but is part of the inlet manifold. The other end comes out behind number 1 injector.

IF he is refering to the tube thats running under the manifold it BOLTS onto the bottom of the inlet. . .he hasnt specified wether its a RB20 or RB25 (have taken it off my RB20 and blocked off feed from head)but they both bolt on, if that one is blocked up i would be suprised as they are of large internal diameter

i removed factory oil cooler off a R33RB25DET and used alloy oil filter block and pressure sender off a R32RB25DE, it bolts straight up. . . this enables me to use factory 32heater hoses/metal outlet-inlets on the 25 going into my 32

U guys are way off topic buddy it's the water line that runs to ur turbo and then runs behind the motor/ ontop of the gearbox bellhouseing into the plenum it's a water return line it's blocked tryed unblocking it today still wouldn't unblock im

Just gonna leave it blocked and run a t piece hose from the coolant lines that run through my throttle body so that way it can still flow back into the coolant system and when I pull the motor out and fix it then

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
