WTB - RB25DET Pipes

Hi Peeps,

Just chasing a few parts to get my vehicle back to a standard for roadworthy inspection, I have attached a couple of images of parts required. Maybe someone has these lying around after an upgrade.

Parts required - see attached images
1 x Water Tube Splitter Pipe - Location in image (Metal Tube Drivers Side Rear of the engine)
1 x Turbo Inlet Metal Tube Only
1 x Standard Turbo Exhaust Manifold - my current one has a big crack half way through right near the turbo flange area.

From my understanding with current items that would not pass inspection are the following as outlined in EPA document - Unroadworthy items list. http://www.epa.vic.gov.au/~/media/Publications/1031 4.pdf

1. Plenum Chamber
2. Aftermarket Throttle Body
3. BOV Atmospheric release
4. You can either have aftermarket intercooler or Pod filter - if you have both the Pod needs to be in Airbox
5. Dual Stage Boost Controller
6. Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator
7. Aftermarket Turbo that interferes with the standard emissions and is not an approved ADR replacement

Any info would be greatly appreciated - Luckily I have 90% of the parts to change over - just a few which were cut and re-purposed for the mods.

I may have this, but I need a better description - have a shit-load of pipes and fittings removed during a 25-30 build & have no idea which one you want. I may also have the intake metal pipe, but I cut something a while ago and it may have been that. Will have a look tonight, but if you get me a  better description (or drawing / photo) of the first fitting it would help.

Thanks Mate, its hard to explain that water splitter tube, I dont really know the exact name of it - there is an image at the top of the location of the metal water tube, its located at the driver side rear of the engine, and it is a metal tube roughly 25mm in diameter and it has 2 small metal tubes on each side of it which are roughly 10mm in diameter, so its a large tube which has 2 other smaller tubes coming off it. Its the only metal water tube on the drivers side at the rear of the engine that is 25mm in diameter and has 2 other smaller tubes coming from it. The tube is fixed to the side of the engine with a small piece of rubber water hose and 2 hose clamps then obviously another water hose attaches to it with the 2 other smaller water hoses. Wow hope that doesnt confuse you too much. Damn Nissan hah

So you are returning to stock for reg purposes and then putting the aftermarket stuff back on? If so, I can lend you the bits I have, exh mani, metal intake tube, I also have a stock turbo and exhaust system if required.

Hi Champ,

Yeah I was offered a stock manifold in Geelong for a very low cost, however I am still yet to collect the item. Thats correct just getting all the stock things back on so I can get it roadworthy passed and registration done again. Then it will be all changed over again. Currently the vehicle is getting a new coat of paint and I am hoping to paint it within the next 3 weeks. 90% of the body is complete, just need to finish the rear bar and door jams then into the booth. After paint I will take it back down to Trent at Chequered tuning to finish the last tune. Then it will be all swapped back to stock. So I am hoping to have it all ready within 5 weeks for RWC Where are you located mate?

Mate thats excellent, I will certainly contact you when the time comes. Absolute legend as for exhaust and turbo pretty sure thats all good mate. I did cut into my dump pipe because it was custom already I simply cut the stock flange off and fabbed on the piece to take the new flange.

I will also look after you for helping me out and machine up a custom billet part, badge, what ever you like got some pretty nasty designs.

Thanks again

Is this the coolant pipe?

Hi Mate, yeah thats the pipe, coolant splitter. if anyone has had to change this pipe working on a complete vehicle they will know how frustrating it is to change or even tighten a hose clamp. Nasty pipe that one. Mine has corroded and split right where the smaller tube joins to the larger ones. I was thinking to just fab something from ally tube and then anodize it. But the thought of just getting something already available was much easier.

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
