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.

    • 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? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • 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.
