Little hose. Big hose. They're all waiting to kill the engine.

Yep, replacing all those hoses is kind of just bog standard if you're ever back there. Only hose on the back of the engine I have yet to replace is a vacuum hose for the wastegate. I'll probably do it eventually but it's in such an annoying spot.

Ha ! Did mine as well. Used a Z hose I got at Supercheap and cut out what I needed. Then while everything was off changed out the water heater control block and the heater supply hoses to silicon on both sides. While attaching said hoses to the plastic hose fitting that goes through the firewall to the heater core they crumbled due to age. Got new heater core supply pipes, de gassed the air con took out the glove box pulled out air-conditioning fan unit and took out the heater core went to change out the busted pipes and went nope ! Went and got a brand new heater core, attached the heater core pipes, put the air con fan unit back in, re attached the new silicon heater hose, put the air conditioner fan unit back in got it regased annnnnnnnnd Bob's your uncle ! 5 minute job really ! AND I AINT DOIN THAT SH*T AGAIN ! !

      They usually get made by hand as part of any such swap.

      Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?

      I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      No idea about Neil's steering wheel, but I have the same behaviour in the Stagea. I doubt it has ever been messed with so might be normal. Indicating to turn right at a roundabout and correcting even a little bit to the left to go around will cancel the indicator. Never considered it an issue other than it being a bit odd.

      Does anyone know if this is off centered? Looks like it, when I indicate to go right, but turn my steering wheel slightly left it cancels (was always like that even before I started messing around with it) was wondering if anyone else has the same issue?
