anyone else has ever been stuck with taking the last bolt on the water return line to get access to turbos. look at the attached pic and its number 3,

it wont budge. ive used WD40 thinking its rusted but no effect, the coolant has already been drained as well. any suggestions.. its on a r33 gtr hasnt been touched ever. also are there any kits to replace this line, i can only find water line kits from the turbo to the middle junction (number 4)

That line is pretty hard to get off. What I did is clamp down on the bracket that the line goes into with a pair of vice grip pliers and used a line wrench on the line itself. My R32 engine had some stuck lines too.

can try heating up with oxy

hi yes i remember doing this on my r32 a while back number 3 was very dificult try leaving 2 and 4 connected and the bracket that holds number 4 into the head still connected is easier this way other wise the pipes twist and move too much and it can make it dificult to put back on. i tried using wd40 etc but the only thing that worked was some heat around the area of thread to my memory i even used a normal spanner to get it off after heat applied, before i applied heat i used a pipespanner (linewrench) it still didnt move carefull not to round bolt.

    • Any number of different ways. Have the coils draw sufficient current to provide contact wetting. Use different contacts in the switch, either by material or design, better suited to the low current drawn by a relay coil. Etc.
    • Hmm, how does the R34 manage to have headlight relays then without getting excessive carbon buildup on the headlight switch contacts?
    • Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.
    • Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.
    • I was poking through the R34 wiring diagrams vs R33 and noticed that the R34 has proper headlight relays while the R33 is like the R32 and sends full headlight power through the headlight switch. I'm not afraid of wiring but I really would like to do this in a way that looks OEM (clipping into open positions on the OEM relay box) and also unlike the factory wiring which interlocks the high beam and low beam on the halogen series 1 GTR headlights I want to make it such that turning on the high beams keeps the low beams on as well. Any advice on how to locate the specific connectors + crimp terminals + relays I need? I was thinking one NO relay for low beams and another for combined high + low running off the factory high beam headlight connector. I don't really want to splice into a crusty old probably discontinued factory harness so fully reversible is my goal here.
