have you connected all other end clamps? if so undo them a little to allow for some movement. It should just slot back in unless everything else is locked tight, with a bit of a wiggle a bit of lube and a few choice words.

i havent put the hose clamps back on yet..not enough gap or space to wiggle the other end...not even enough space to push it down and slot back in.!! really frustrating me now!! i got it out easy at the first place but putting it back in is an asS thing to do!!!

what do you mean by not enough room to push it back down and slot it in, Try completley disconnecting the other end of the pipe so you have more movement to push it on then connect the other end when the throttle body end is on....where bouts are you?

sorry mate but the only way to get it on is to persevere at it and have plenty of patience. i always have trouble with my piping yet i eventually get it back on. Im missing a couple fingers off my main hand and i can do it.

well as u could see on the photo,i got the left side out, but the other end i couldnt, no way i could disconnect completely at the other end..pretty much dead end...i live in altona..next to altona beach or altona station...

There is no real "trick", just have to make it go in :blink:

Sometimes a tiny bit of oil around the inside edge can help

i know what u mean, but thats not even close to my case, my hose is not even facing evenly with the other end/inlet that you can just lube it and slot it back in...hose is slightly few m.m. above the inlet manifold and tried pushing it down to face the inlet and so i can just slip it thru but thats where the problem is, cant push it down far to face the inlet and then in...argggg

    • I don’t really have any ideas how to set the timing on the CAS 😂, sounds like the top, sounds like it maybe misfiring as well as ticking,  got the box sorted 😌, must of been a air bubble on the clutch side
    • Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.
    • Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.
    • Wow that's a steal, you've done well there.
