Hello everyone , I have an r33 GTR and ive had the intercooler rubber where the twin turbo cross over pipe joins to the intercooler pipe just to the left of the air box next to charcoal canister , it's split right the way around and pretty much made my car die in it's ass . I still got it home thank god .

Now I need to get one ASAP !! In Penrith NSW . in willing to drive and pick it up but this is my daily car . It's 100% stock at the moment other then increased boost and oil cooler (n1) .

Someone please help me out and steer me the right way ! I used some cloth tape to get home but it ended up splitting more the before lol .

Checked the F/S section?

People usually wrecking/changing to hard pipe or going single & selling the turbo piping section so you might need to buy a couple pipes/hoses - good for backup though :)

Might not find one "today" however.

I'm also sure you could get them from Nissan, for that kinda item I reckon it wouldn't be too expensive if you can get someone to order it @ Trade.

I don't want a hard pipe kit I want the stock hose. Surley someone here must have a stock hose they have upgraded ?

If you read a little closer I said SILICON not hard pipe, why buy a pipe that is 16or so years old which could then split again. But hey your decision

yeah, nah, i once priced one up from nissan at trade.

apparently the original has been discontinued and superceeded with another pipe, and is worth(if memory serves) around the $370 mark.

post in wanted to buy section, thats how i got helped out.

or go with the black silicon pipe as previously mentioned from just jap...

looks stock, handles more power.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
