long story short guys i have a S2 R33 and i have no choice but to replace all the water hoses under the intake plenum. why might you ask.... when my second hand motor was fitted on of the hoses under the plenum didn't have a clamp on it which caused coolant to get sprayed over the the other hose and caused them to turn to utter shite bla bla bla. the problem i am face with now is that to replace the hoses i'm going to have to go genuine but some of the hoses are worth $70+. now i know the rb26 has a complete silicone water/heater hose replacement for around $300, is there such a kit for the 25 are there any other options.... any ideas guys

Thanks

And im pretty sure the GTR "kit" does not count the ones under the plenum etc etc.

For some of them you can just get away with generic hose.

I've replaced a couple under the plenum on my RB20 from years ago, just used cut-pieces of normal rad hose

sorry by generic are you guys referring to hoses with formed bends that you can cut to length. i think this is a pretty important topic as these motors are getting pretty old and these hoses are bound to go pop one day.

Thanks guys i'l post up a picture of what my block look like thanks to a very small coolant leak from one of these hoses.

just a quick note i got my call from Nissan and the cost for 6 hoses is just on 400 and i require another that they are sourcing.

I would imagine that if you search you will find my fairly detailed reply about me doing EXACTLY this about 1 month ago - also linked to NISSAN diagrams with all hoses under the plenum with part numbers. And description of what generic hoses I used.

Generic hose will fit most, but you will need the heater hoses both in and out from Nissan ~$30 each + you will also need a 120° bend of I think 3/8" - this can be cut from a multi-fit at your local Repco (or genuine). The rest is generic - you might want to get the 4-way metal joiner new also, likely to be farked.

I have a lot of these genuine hoses in good condition due to doing a greddy-style plenum swap. If you are interested & can take photos of what you need, PM me with pics. Will check if I have what you need...

      to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it

      A31 Digital Climate Control

      By S1_C34 · Posted

      For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf

      PRP RB26 cast block + head prototype running

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, yeah, the RB26 is definitely that far off the mark. From a pure technology point of view it is closer to the engines of the 60s than it is to the engines of the last 10 years. There is absolutely nothing special about an RB26 that wasn't present in engines going all the way back to the 60s, except probably the four valve head. The bottom end is just bog standard Japanese stuff. The head is nothing special. Celicas in the 70s were the same thing, in 4cyl 2 valve form. The ITBs are nothing special when you consider that the same Celicas had twin Solexes on them, and so had throttle plates in the exact same place. There's no variable valve timing, no variable inlet manifold, which even other RBs had either before the 26 came out or shortly afterward. The ECU is pretty rude and crude. The only things it has going for it are that the physical structure was pretty bloody tough for a mass produced engine, the twin-turbos and ITBs made for a bit of uniqueness against the competition (and even Toyota were ahead on the twin turbs thing, weren't they?) and the electronic controls and measuring devices (ie, AFMs, CAS, etc) were good enough to make it run well. Oh, and it sounds better than almost anything else, ever. The VR38 is absolutely halfway between the RB generation and the current generation, so it definitely has a massive increase in the sophistication of the electronics, allowing for a lot more dynamic optimisation of mapping. Then there's things like metal treatments and other coatings on things, adoption of variable cam stuff, and a bunch of other little improvements that mean it has to be a better thing than the RB26. But I otherwise agree with you that it is approximately the same thing as a 26. But, skip forward another 10 years from that engine and then the things that I mentioned in previous post come out to play. High compression, massively sophisticated computers, direct injection, clever measuring sensors, etc etc. They are the real difference between trying to make big power with a 26 and trying to make big power with a S/B50/54 (or whatever the preferred BMW engine of the week is).
