mate i used a ring spanner. note mm but the other one. (im crap with metric and imperial) it was the equivalent to a 22mm well bit bigger because 22mm wouldnt fit. tiny bit of pressure and it popped undone! hope all that makes some kind of sense to ya chap!

Because like everyone else they use a shifter.

There are heaps on Fleabay...

dodgy ass shifters and crap...gah

yeah use a spanner. i cut the wire off my old one so you don't have to worry about it, then use the right size spanner. the angled head on the spanner is about the same curve as a standard dump pipe. and is easiest to get to from under the car (believe it or not). i couldn't get to it at any angle from in the engine bay, even with the heat shield removed off the turbo.

Your local snapon dealer can get you one.... they're not really that expensive.

Or get the right size 'crows foot' spanner attachment for you socket set ratchet and extension.

Or heat it up and give it a little tap, then undo it with your fingers.

Or buy a cheap ass tube socket of the right size, then chop a 1/3 off one side.

Or buy two cheap ass sockets, cut the back off one and weld it to the front of the the whole one.

Or ....

im over it

thanks guys yeah ive got a spanner and that to remove it but i had the problem as above, couldnt get to it from the engine bay....ill try and get to it from underneath...?

its not that its hard to remove its just that the spanners i have are too large for the engine bay =/

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By eli995 · Posted

      (Rb25det intake manifold) I’m having a hell of a time trying to find the full part or part number of this coolant hardline so far I was given these (Below) but they aren’t what I’m looking for and was told it’s the IAR or aac valve but that doesn’t seem to be it either. If someone could point me in the right direction it’d be greatly appreciated. Or if anyone has it for sale that’d be great too. I have recently purchased a greddy manifold and I can’t seem to find my old one to pull it off.  (Front Heater Return / Water Pipe (under intake): Primary part: 14053‑21U10 (front return pipe assembly for R33/R34 RB25DET) Alternative listing: 14053‑21U00 (same pipe, sometimes interchangeably referenced)   Heater Feed Pipe: Listed as 14075‑04U00 or feed-related variant 14053‑AG500)

      This sounds cool. But, as per usual, anything really complicated like that, that I take on, constitutes a steep learning curve that I never actually "learn". I just get it working, install it and start using it. Then, when it breaks a few months later, I've got no memory of what I did, how I did it, or even the bloody IP address I gave it. I'm having more or less exactly that problem right now. My Proxmox machine was discovered to be non-responsive, and the VMs on it were ditto. Power cycle it to a stream of loud Dell beep codes - which was unpopular at midnight, I can tell you. Move it to the lounge room so I can HDMI it to the TV for a screen, see the boot messages complaining about the /PVE/data having all sorts of LVM problems, saying it needs to be fixed manually. And I'm like....great. How am I going to work out what I need to do? At least it wasn't the stupid Silicon Power SSD shat itself. Mental note for all readers - DO NOT BUY SP SSDS! They are shit. I have had one take out an entire VM setup already, and this one could have done the same. Maybe it actually has. Cheap Chinesium shitbaskets. I won't cheap out again, even on play projects with no budget. Because my time budget having to fix shit is worth far more than the cost of proper parts.

      I do typically agree. These days even the screens most people use have more of a boot time than the main device. However, I've seen an interesting use of the RPi in vehicle, however it involves effectively building your own OS and MBR, as then it boots up exceptionally quickly, as you don't have everything needing to start up, and you can then also run it up as an RTOS, while still having more compute than an Android can give for things like display, and processing. A very huge task that would be though for Duncan, I'm not sure that's his skill set (or Arduino programming and wiring) ha ha. If end goal is definitely just water cooling, Arduino would be the simpler setup especially for a rookie. If he wants extra display stuff though, bashing some code in Python on an RPi may be the better result for both systems.   Unfortunately the new device I'm building at work which runs a display, is too slow of a display for dashboard style purposes. More extreme low power, update only a couple of times a day type system

      I don't like "actual computers" for in car use. They take time to boot up, have OS annoyances, and so on. Arduinos etc are ready to go a few seconds after power on, don't mind being agressively powere cycled, because everything is non-volatile, don't mind being shaken and stirred.

      As Fred would tell us, it's all about interpreting the rules. It's not a water sprayer, it's a water mister... But everything else you've said, 100%! Even a raspberry Pi would be great, use HDMI out for a display, and add a raspberry Pi CANBus hat to read values out from the ECU.
