Not sure if correct place admin please move if needed.

Half way through a RB25DET neo into R32 swap and needing to replace the heater and other hoses.

from what i can gather the RB25DET Neo heater hoses are what i need but please correct me if i am wrong.

apart from OEM what options are out there. i have found Misc eBay ones mainly listing RB26 or R33 25
and JJR do not list a Neo kit.

I don't remember the details, but I just cut the R32 ones and used size-changing joiners to connect them to the appropriate points on the back end of the inlet manifold/water log stuff.  The R32/RB20 stuff is different sized to the R34/Neo hoses, so you can't just get Neo hoses and use them (and they go to the wrong spot on the firewall anyway, I think).

This is the list of numbers I used for replacing all of the rubber hoses in my engine bay, I added some metal pipes in there too, you can ignore those.

I used this website/diagram to get part codes/numbers

Hope this helps!

First image is original R32 heater hoses coming out of firewall and going behind head.  Note that the RB25DET Neo steel heater pipes have been removed from the back of the head.  (Ignore the small hose mixed up with it - it's my current attempt to stop smurf jizz spoogin all over my parking spots.

Second image is same R32 heater hoses seen from other side of head.  Retains the original R32 bleeder point (just under the brake pipe you can see on lower edge of photo).  If you look down next to the clutch master, where the brake pipe bends under it, you can see the hose clamps that show where I have the size reducing joiners.  I cut the R32 hoses here, put the joiners in and also cut back the RB25 hoses coming off the head/water log/block (wherever they each came from).

The last photo shows same thing from forward of the clutch master.  The bit of heater hose with the dried green smurf spoof is the RB25 heater hose and you can see its hose clamp onto the engine side connection behind that bit of loom.

Did you get this sorted? I've found the body side heater hoses off my R33, and I'm in Adelaide. They are 19mm / 3/4" ID, and appear to be in good condition. Removed cause track car.

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
