Exactly the same thing happened to me about a year ago, Id say it is one of the heat box lines, not easy to get to at all... don't know if that helps at all...

and it is a fairly common problem with 32s

This may help?? Good luck :rofl:

There are some small hoses connecting the front of the manifold to the back and the turbo coolant line. Probably one of those. You'll need a little mirror and a lot of light. I've had 2 burst at different times.

There's also a metal pipe that runs from the top radiator hose joint to the manifold and connects in 2 places. Hope it's not that.

Phuk hope it's not the inlet manifold gasket leaking....Run the car with water get a torch and a xtendable mirror and have a look.You will see water leaking from under the inlet runners if it is.And usually a white water stain from water/coolant drying.:rant:

There's 2 hoses under there. 1 is a short section, which could probably be rteplaced with any appropriate diameter hose. The other is a formed piece, and is probably only available from Nissan.

You can probably reach under the manifold and feel which hose is broken.

Have fun getting either of them off.

well.... it turned out it was a piece of pipe that was only 3 inch's long and had a hole in it.. took 4 hrs to get the bastard out and get new piece of hose and new hose clamps. its all good now, so thanks for you guys help.

    • 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.
