R33 water feed line leak. help?

hey everyone, my water pump went so i replaced the water pump and did the timing belt service and was happy to have no more leaks and enjoy my car..

but now i have found myself a very small leak coming from the back of engine, i have found it was hose that connects to the turbo water feed line.

does anyone here have the best way or technique to replace the hose? because i took the cam gear cover off and still no room to fit my hand in there. 

also nissan said its going to take 2 weeks for the part to come in. other option they said was to take it off and go to any car store that has a part like it. recommendations?  

cheers for the info n help!

also i will be filming a video on it for a how to on my new channel that me n my friend have been filming videos of our R32 GTR and R33 S2 gts-t build etc.

part number " 14056V "

look...this one ain't rocket-scientifical.

pull shit off/move shit out of the way till you can reach the hose, then replace with any decent 6/8 mm(can't remember what size but think 6mm) quality hose of required length. No way i'd gen. Nissan for this, it's only a mild bend that most free-length hose can cope with.

Yeah it's tight but welcome to JDM.

Replace said shit that you moved out of the way. Fine for another 10+years.

cheers for the info. still havent had the time to work on it. but hopefully within the few days ill move a lot of shit out of the way so i can fit my hands in there. 

 

TREX didnt you remove anything to get to it? how you fit your hands in there to pop on new hose? :P

Haha removed nothing at all. The pliers need to be about 1-2 feet long.

i forgot to upload photos and say what happen lol. i replaced the clamps with screw clamps so it makes i easier to change. even long pliers wouldnt work etc. i removed s much shit and still couldnt fit my hands in there eventually jsut ripped it out with the pliers. and was able to slide on new hose and use a lnog screw driver to close em down.

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
