Quick question, does anyone know the part number or exact sizing of the silicone joiner/reducer that connects the intercooler return pipe to the elbow that runs into the plenum?

I've got a boost leak and found a nice gaping hole on the underside of the joiner so I'm looking for a replacement but it's an odd size:

  • Cooler return pipe OD 60.2mm
  • Elbow OD 66mm
  • Length 105mm approx.

The closest I can find on eBay is:

  • 2.35" (60mm) to 2.5" (63mm) OR
  • 2.35" (60mm) to 2.75" (70mm)

I'm not sure if the 2.5" will stretch enough, and whether the 2.75" will seal properly?

Here's a photo off Wikipedia, the part I'm after is the black rubber joiner right in the middle of the photo:

Thanks guys!

Hahahahahahhahaha.

I only laugh because holy shit that one was a nightmare to fit on. Making one stretch over it was pretty damn hard if you use a decent joiner. I distinctly recall Scottynm35 and myself trying for quite some time with Lubricant and a heat gun and swearing to never, ever, ever, ever remove it for any reason. It'll need to be the 2.5 though, because the 2.75 won't seal on the smaller of the two in any way that will leave you thinking "this is an optimal solution"


I said to myself that buying another OEM joiner is the way to go. Think from memory they were/are about ~$50. Figured if it lasted 20 years it can last 20 more.

Ooo I'm really looking forward to this now!

Would the 2.75in (70mm) seal on the larger 66mm pipe though? One of the reducers is 60mm to 70mm.

...

Actually scratch that, I just got confirmation that the reducer is only 75mm long so it won't work anyway, bummer.

Kudos do one of the rubbers for the crossover pipe but I think it's the throttle body one - for $88!

I think I'll just go to Autobahn and get some basic 2.5" silicone and lots of lube...

Unless someone knows any wreckers I could try in Melb?

I still have my stock one....

Kudos do have the correct joiner as that is who I called about it... the 2.5 will work, but yeah it was offensively difficult at the time. I never tried with a reducer (didnt get that far?) as none of them were of a size that I needed, I couldn't find a 70 to 60, as everything was imperial and was a few mm off either end in presumably every way. Mind you I didn't try a joiner, we just had a 2.75 and a 2.5 handy, and one would work on one side, and one wouldn't work on the other side etc.

We just found the downside of joiners that resist a lot of initial pressure really really don't like stretching!

Ok did some more homework on this.

Kudos do have the OEM part but it's on back order ex Japan. They quoted me $110+freight for 14460-AA101, however looking at it now I'm pretty sure the correct part is 14463-AA101 'HOSE, AIR INLET': http://jp-carparts.com/nissan/partlist.php?maker=nissan&type=81&fig=144C&part=14463AA101&page=3

In the meantime I got some cheap 2.5" silicone hose off Autobarn, see how it goes...

Also it looks like there is in fact an older thread about this very issue, 2.5" is meant to work though not optimal: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/410659-silicone-reducerjoiner-size-rb25det/

You will likely pull this off fairly often to work on car though so if its a PITA to get on, it will be alot. Mine is from a kit, not by samco but similar who i cant recall right now. Pretty cheap for a kit on ebay?

I agree, would be good to have a good fit - do you have a link to the kit you're thinking? I've done a zillion searches on eBay but found nothing that is exactly right.

Can't you just use a 2.75 to 2.5 inch straight reducer?

Thats what i did, just got it from VPW and use good norma seal constant tension hose clamps

I could but I though that would be 3-4 mm loose at both ends? Is yours a Neo?

Also I checked with VPW and all their reducers below 3" are only 75mm long, the current rubber is 105mm so it'd be 30mm shorter. Whether that matters I'm not 100% sure.

yeah this sort of thing negro, sure I have seen them cheaper though in recent times and nothing wrong with a lot of chinese hoses

I may have a spare 2nd hand genuine 1 of these in my box of rb spares in the shed . I'll have a look tomorrow. If I do, it's yours for free. I'll let you know tomorrow.

Edit. Is neo and non neo same size? Anyone know?

Ah I see, totally. If was more patient I'd order just the reducer from China, they do pretty much any size.

Awesome thanks man!

Kudos reckons Neo part is unique but I couldn't find the R33 part number. If the rubber tapers slightly (different ID at each end) it's likely the same or very similar.

...

Now, I'd like meet the Nissan engineer who thought it'd be a good idea to mix different pipe diameters across the intake system?!

Same ID.....different material (ie, one is steel pipe and the other is cast alloy) = different OD.  Not a problem when you can just get Nippon rubber factory to make the whotsit you need to join them.  Cars were only meant to last until the end of the warranty period.  Nissan engineers did not expect us to still be driving these things 20+ years later.

You're in luck. I found it. It measures at 61-62mm on 1 side and 66-67mm on the other. It's in decent nick, should last a few years at least. PM me to arrange pick up or post[emoji106]DSC_0186.jpeg

Wow nice! Thanks heaps, will pm shortly!

My bad I didn't read properly and thought you guys were talking about the one from the throttle body to crossover pipe.

In that case I have no idea if R33/34 are the same

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
