Not sure if correct place admin please move if needed.

Half way through a RB25DET neo into R32 swap and needing to replace the heater and other hoses.

from what i can gather the RB25DET Neo heater hoses are what i need but please correct me if i am wrong.

apart from OEM what options are out there. i have found Misc eBay ones mainly listing RB26 or R33 25
and JJR do not list a Neo kit.

I don't remember the details, but I just cut the R32 ones and used size-changing joiners to connect them to the appropriate points on the back end of the inlet manifold/water log stuff.  The R32/RB20 stuff is different sized to the R34/Neo hoses, so you can't just get Neo hoses and use them (and they go to the wrong spot on the firewall anyway, I think).

This is the list of numbers I used for replacing all of the rubber hoses in my engine bay, I added some metal pipes in there too, you can ignore those.

I used this website/diagram to get part codes/numbers

Hope this helps!

First image is original R32 heater hoses coming out of firewall and going behind head.  Note that the RB25DET Neo steel heater pipes have been removed from the back of the head.  (Ignore the small hose mixed up with it - it's my current attempt to stop smurf jizz spoogin all over my parking spots.

Second image is same R32 heater hoses seen from other side of head.  Retains the original R32 bleeder point (just under the brake pipe you can see on lower edge of photo).  If you look down next to the clutch master, where the brake pipe bends under it, you can see the hose clamps that show where I have the size reducing joiners.  I cut the R32 hoses here, put the joiners in and also cut back the RB25 hoses coming off the head/water log/block (wherever they each came from).

The last photo shows same thing from forward of the clutch master.  The bit of heater hose with the dried green smurf spoof is the RB25 heater hose and you can see its hose clamp onto the engine side connection behind that bit of loom.

Did you get this sorted? I've found the body side heater hoses off my R33, and I'm in Adelaide. They are 19mm / 3/4" ID, and appear to be in good condition. Removed cause track car.

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
