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.

    • Just wanted to unearth this and post my baby with the new front ❤️😝 Took her to my wedding rehearsal today. Next up is getting wide skirts (after wedding)
    • Yea, that is what I was getting at in my ramblings too. The nismo one actually is a 1.5 way and a 1 way. They don't do a *2* way because a true *2* way would have equal ramp angles. Or is that a true 1.5 way? Realistically I think a "1.5 way" does not actually exist. A diff can either lock in two directions or one. It also doesn't help that a LOT of people in Australia speak about 1.5 way diffs are referring to their 1 way diff.
    • Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.
