I am looking to replace all of the coolant and heater hoses on my Rb35det R33 and was wondering what everyone was using these days. Theres a few threads from 5 years ago with all the nissan part numbers for about $430 worth of hoses, but now theres a couple of silicone hose kits on ebay and just jap and was seeing if anyones had any experience with either of them.

Cheers

An old friend bought a genuine kit from Kudos for a couple of hundred which I think is OK considering it came with most of the hoses for the engine bay. I think silicone looks tacky so I would go down the genuine route too.

I kind of picky about the silicone hoses and i think they look terrible, but Just jap black silicone kit for about 130ish i think it was for the hoses you can't see which run under the plenum and for the radiator hoses, i got gates ones from repco

no issues as of yet

Thanks for the replies,Not too worried on looks, much more interested in just replacing 20 year old hoses.

Theres 14 piece ebay kits that look very convienient for $80, just wanting to double check that Im not getting myself some dodgy hoses that are likely to burst

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
