Rb25de neo rear water spigot

[Idiotwithaskyline]

Hello all, I’m in abit of a predicament as my coolant leak fixes are beginning to look like ass, and when trying to find this replacement part to hopefully fix my hose management, it seems long gone. I have tried places like amayama and souqparts. Anyone have any ideas on where to source this?

appreciate any input

Remake from scratch.

I see you everywhere giving the most useless advice with the most asshole tone. Not much else to do in life for ya bud?

[GTSBoy]

Let's just consider this more fully then, shall we?

Not available anywhere? Check.

What is it made from? It's made from a threaded fitting and a couple of pieces of pipe.

Could it be made in 2 hours by someone with a welder and some raw materials? Maybe a lathe if you want to make the threaded part from scratch? Yep. You bet your girlie arse it could.

Would I make it from scratch if I needed it? Yep. Bet your girlie arse again.

Would I even go to the lengths of getting it cad plated? Probably. At least zinc passivated. It's not hard to do it yourself, but you could always sneak it into a basket at a plater's for a couple of beers.

 

Useless advice? No f**king way. You are just typical of the weenie approach to everything that the modern generations have adopted. If it can't be 3D printed or bought from an on-line vendor, it is IMPOSSIBLE!

Your attitude is the attitude that sucks. Go file your nails and have a facial.

Yah ! Id remake it ! And remake it in brass so you don't ever have to do it again.

Can you get it off the block ?

If so then take it down to a fitting place and grab a hose barb with the same block thread and main tube size.

Also grab a smaller hose barb to do the right angle one coming out of the main one.

Cut off the threaded end off the smaller hose barb

Drill a hole to the main hose barb the in the same position as the original small one and then press in the small piece and solder it into place.

Did similar to my R33 to replace rusted out, nickel plated, steel fittings over the years.

Hey man do you remember the thread it was? I read somewhere it was a 3/4 bsp but it won’t thread it so now unsure

[PLYNX]

Nope that was quite some time ago and all I did was take it out of the block and took it to them and said "want this in brass please" !

Of coarse they said " don't have it with the sticky out the side thingy " and then went through the above to make it happen.

I think you will have the same scenario and anyway, one way or another, the original has got to come out of the block.

Also I don't really think its 3/4 BSP as that's imperial !

Probably got to be metric coming out of Japan !

Maybe ! Should be ! 

Could be wrong though !

Be in the 19mm range !

Probably ?

Jump in anyone !

Nope. Jap threads are BSP by another name. JIS PT = BSPT (where the T means Tapered, not thread, as is commonly mistaken).

Note that I don't know if the target thread here is BSP/JIS or something else either. But.... if you've got the original in hand, then you have all that you need to know. Just measure the thread.

This is really unhelp to flat out guess, but I have a feeling this is something weird like straight (not tapered) m20 thread. The answer is on SAU somewhere....

This site suggests it is 3/4 BSP "fits rear of block" - https://www.iee.nz/product-page/heater-tube-kit-gtr
