Hi guys, just need help in finding a replacement for a hose I split. In the thread attached it is the first hose that is suggested to be removed.

Keen to know what it does, and what it is made (really hard and unflexible) so I can get an adequate replacement.

Cheers

looks like rocker cover breather of some sort... just get a rubber hose suited to oil as i would imagine some oil would get in that hose.......mite be able to get away with some heater hose, but just check it doesnt split after a while....

Yeah, Heater hose would probably do the trick.

the hose doesn't really see any large numbers for pressure or anything, but as mentioned it does get oil over time.

most heater hoses are rated to a decent pressure and are usually rather resilient to chemicals so it should be fine. i don't see the point in it being as solid as they are, maybe it's more of a result of the continuous heating and cooling of the engine.

My thoughts as well but the U shaped pipe next to it is flexible so yeah was a bit confused. Anyway thanks for the input guys, I will just stick with the heater hose and replace when/if I need too.

hi all,

yeah that's one of your blow-by hoses, really common for these to go rock hard and split from heat cycling as suggested above. A replacement will cost you around $40 from a dealer so use whatever you can, heater hose etc will still last a while. The one you have that split is made from rubber just like the other u shaped hose you mentioned just severely deteriorated.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
