Rb25 Intake Manifold Water Pipe Sleave

Hello Peoples,

I am in the middle of a refresh and cleanup of the engine bay for my R33 series 1 GTST and have come across a part I just can't find anywhere. The steal water sleave in the intake manifold has almost completely corroded away and I can't find anyone who has a new sleave. It is the part the connects the intake manifold to the top tank of the radiator.

It was easy enough to pull out (just a quick pull with a pair of vice grips) but I can t find anywhere to buy a new one.

Has anyone had this issue? I have been to Nissan Parts a couple of auto parts suppliers and a hardware sore but can't find anything the exact right diameter. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A little bit of back story for anyone that is interested too: A friend and myself bought an R33 series 1 Manual early last year with the intensions on satisfying out need to tinker with cars and with the goal of building a reliable track car.

We have completely striped the interior and engine bay and recently committed to bit of work.

So far we have pulled all components from the engine bay (including Engine) and cleaned off all the oil and gunk from the last motor blowing (happened before we got the car). Removed the complete contents of the dash, and any other part that was not entirely necessary for track use. Cut open the wiring looms and taken out all the components that are not needed (air con, heater, and heaps of other bits and pieces), rewired the ignition to be push button with toggles for IGG and ACC power. In the process of replacing the Fly wheel, Radiator, adding oil cooler. And just a general clean up of unnecessary parts.

We are now at the stage of reassembling the car and would like to get it moving again but, this intake manifold water sleave seems to be the only part I can't get a hold of.

      R32 gtr hood latch support/lock part number search

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      65601-05U00 is the hood latch. 62550-08U31 is the support that holds it to the radiator core support. They are all super discontinued so I don't really have any great leads on how to source this stuff.

      GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.

      R32 gtr hood latch support/lock part number search

      By eli995 · Posted

      Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan)

      If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
