I am looking to replace all of the coolant and heater hoses on my Rb35det R33 and was wondering what everyone was using these days. Theres a few threads from 5 years ago with all the nissan part numbers for about $430 worth of hoses, but now theres a couple of silicone hose kits on ebay and just jap and was seeing if anyones had any experience with either of them.

Cheers

An old friend bought a genuine kit from Kudos for a couple of hundred which I think is OK considering it came with most of the hoses for the engine bay. I think silicone looks tacky so I would go down the genuine route too.

I kind of picky about the silicone hoses and i think they look terrible, but Just jap black silicone kit for about 130ish i think it was for the hoses you can't see which run under the plenum and for the radiator hoses, i got gates ones from repco

no issues as of yet

Thanks for the replies,Not too worried on looks, much more interested in just replacing 20 year old hoses.

Theres 14 piece ebay kits that look very convienient for $80, just wanting to double check that Im not getting myself some dodgy hoses that are likely to burst

    • 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.
