Rb25Det Coolant Hose Replacement

Hi all, I've done some searching and found a few (fairly old) threads some showing diagrams listing all the coolant hoses for the RB25 - but to replace them all with new genuine Nissan hoses it will cost about $400. (I replaced them all once on one of my old RB25's!)

Does anyone know of an aftermarket kit that does the job - say one made by Gates? I do realise some of the hoses can be replaced by generic bits of hose, but some of the trickier bends are too hard to replicate...

Surely I'm not the only person thats come across this issue? And surely I'm not the only tight arse around here! :D

No kits found by me. I have written in a few threads with the 2 diagrams. There was about 14 hoses all up I think?

I would strongly suggest buying the OEM Nissan items for the 4 heater hoses plus replacing the 4-way metal join that is down above the starter motor. I used Gates racing silicon for the 2 x radiator hoses. For the other 8 or so hoses under the plenum I took everything off and went behind the desk at Repco to find suitable pipes from other cars that have similar bends and diameters(typically other jap cars have similar pipe sizes - I think they are metric). The hoses connecting to the throttle plate I think is generic 7.5mm ID gates hose - CHEAP !

This was 2 years ago and no leaks since :)

(eg. the other day I bought a Corolla heater hose 13mm for $18 at Supercheap. I used one small straight section for the BOV return hose and achieved a perfect fit. Still 2 bends left for other stuff around the engine bay).

Yeah I found the diagrams you posted, took a printout to Nissan and ordered them all for about $433, I just use the VL radiator and heater hoses though...

Less headaches for sure buying from Nissan, I just thought a company such as Gates would have brought out a kit!!

Just thought I'd update this thread with some part numbers for anyone else looking to replace their hoses.........

Compare the letter to the attached image -

A – There can be 2 part numbers for this. Series 1 / early S2 have an ‘S’ shaped hose as shown in the pic, Later Series 2 have a 90 degree hose.

Series 1 p/n is 14056-75T16. Series 2 p/n is 14056-17U00

B – 14056-75T21

C – 14056-21U10

D – 14056-75T10

E – 14056-21U20

F – 14056-21U00

G – 21307-21U20

H – 21307-21U15

90 degree hose for Turbo coolant return at the back of the head is 14055-21U00

I'm trying to find a pic or part number for the hose that comes off the plenum at the back and joins to the coolant return for the turbo.

The threads for simpletool's diagrams don't seem to be in the system anymore and I've spent the better part of around an hour searching with only a few pics of other ways around the problem. I think one way is just using a longer braided hose straight to the plenum, but I don't have the time or money right now. Maybe in the near future. I just have a leak in that hose and want to fix it asap for now.

You might want to try Boost Junkies from the UK. They do all sorts of pipes for Skylines and I'm sure they'll be happy to ship to the UK.

I just ordered a full set of silicon breather hoses for 130GBP or 190AUD. Like the ones in this picture http://www.skylineowners.com/forum/showthread.php?t=159641

Anyone know where I could get the coolant bypass hose (E) ?

Its got a slight bend in it, has anyone matched this with another hose or just used OEM nissan pipes.. Can't seem to find one and mine split last week.

Yep - on one of my motors (a while before I started this thread), I just used a straight bit of hose that had the right I/D and same length and it bent into shape when everything went back together and it has been fine since.

2nd motor, I was able to buy it from Nissan using the above part number, but I have no idea if they're still available.

in the same boat (lol badum tshh) its hose F on that diagram, took the plenum off to get to it but cant get the hose off the bottom part..sigh

edit: or maybe im talking about something completely different.

      Thanks Santa (the neverending trials of the 400,000klm, 400kw, RB30, manual swapped Stagea)

      Looks like they've been through a few versions of the kit; that is not the one I had trouble with (it had the level sender attached to baffles on the floor, the one you linked the level sender is hung from the hat). One obvious point about that kit is it has no baffles at all, not even the factory setup (although it looks like you can retain the factory setup if you want).  Not sure if that will be an issue or not, the good news is it looks like you can get the pump nice and low in the tank, but that doesn't help if the fuel is all sloshing to one side of a wide flat tank

      One more question if you don't mind. Is the first kit you tried the same one as they currently sell as their fuel-pump-hanger kit? https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/collections/fuel-system-kits/products/fpg-bnr32-fuel-pump-hanger-kit-single-fits-stagea-c34-nissan-skyline-gt-r-r32-fpg-087?variant=42131478315186 Because according to their video the low fuel warning thing can be taken from the OEM hanger and attached to their new hanger. Just wondering whether this is the kit you weren't happy with, or whether it's a different revision. Thanks again!

      That's the thing....the basics of fuel and ignition are deceptively simple.....getting it to behave like factory in all conditions after airflow mods is way more complex. Newer cars like the V37 are all about modifying the standard ECU which is about a billion times more complex than they were 20 years ago, with a bunch of parameters affecting others

      The larger TB I had on the SS was a pain to get to idle right, but, that was cable In the end they just raised the idle up a couple of hundred RPM so it was happy idling away either in gear or in park (slush box life) I'm curious on how my NC will idle with the new intake, larger TB, and cams that are currently going in/on, but I have faith that MX5 Mania will sort this "electronical" "black magic" out the best they can in the tune with a electronic TB Sometimes I wish I knew more about the intricacies of tuning, but most of the time I don't because I know it would hurt my brain 🤣

      That's the thing. Cam is smaller than before.. though the old cam was +6 degrees advanced. We're talking huge changes here, the narrowbands want to trim out 20% of fuel and pull the (wideband) idle to like 16.0 AFR or such. One side is a little more trimmy than the other. Think along the lines of ~20% to ~15-18%. Unfortunately my scouring of the internet hasn't really found anyone with this issue. People either just disable NB's or have them wildly different, where one is -20% and the other is +20 or 0 (i.e a sensor is just dead/wiring is just busted). Turning them off and relying on the base map only results in the wideband reporting at about 14.0 with the Varex closed. It'd be a little leaner (closer to 14.7ish) with the Varex open. I know I can just change the switch points so that the narrowbands agree with the wideband, but it's still odd. Both of them are reading voltage, it's just that they're reading quite high mv, in the ~800 region. It's just odd. This was with the IAT fudged to report it was about ~22 degrees which is my guesstimation of the temperature in the room. I have an OEM sensor ready to try tonight, which is slow and crap - but .. worked last time I used it. Sadly I am aware that idle tuning with the big TB is going to be a PITA and I look 'forward' to many hours spent stalling or stumbling idle or delving into drivability things.
