Hey had this split the other day ..started pissing out coolant. Once it stopped I replaced it with a similar hose. Just wondering what does it do? Is it a heater hose? Can I block it if I'm deleting the heater?

It joins up with the factory coolant hard lines for the twin turbo setup that travel along the top of the heat shields to the back of the head (splitting down into the turbos also).

Also didn't you create another thread about deleting the heater and it was suggested by multiple people to just replace the hose(s).

Unless you're pulling the entire loom/engine out and building a dedicated track car I don't see the point in deleting it as if you need to use it on for a registered car its required.

Right so there not heater hoses thanks. Btw you don't have to have a heater in the car for it to be registered just something that can demise the windscreen. And there are other options for that. The way I look at it is that my car is driven more on the track then it is on the street so couldn't care for a heater or airconditioning as the whole time I have owned it I have never turned either on.

FFS. The heater hoses are clearly and easily findable from the two points, right next to each other, where they pass through the firewall. From there you can follow them to where they go on the engine with a torch, an uncrossed pair of eyes and maybe a pair of fingers to follow them where they might pass out of sight. On lesser RBs they both pass immediately behind the head and then into the mess of coolant plumbing under the back end of the plenum. The details will be different on the 26, but the general route will be the same.

      100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!

      ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.

      You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
