Hi eddie

just thought i'd drop you a line to see if you found what was up with the Gtr, nothing serious i hope


regards Mike

[Fast Eddy]

Yes Mike,
Thanks for your interest.
As i said the other night, very lucky i stopped for fuel and spotted the drip.
A rubber pipe has split that supplies water to the oil/water heat exchanger (cooler)
As absolute arse to get to and not in stock at Nissan UK so got to wait till September for it. Not going to risk a secondhand one. I am ordering in one of those special tools for loosening the sprung hose clips in awkward places, the ones with the remote cable mechanism to try to change it.
Had a new customer today with a Gtst. He knows us and is from Norwich so should be coming to the meets.
He is after a couple of knock sensors if you know of any going on soc.
Cheers
Eddy

Eddy give RHD Japan a try as they can get Nissan items from Japan to you very quickly.

If it's the hose I am thinking of Eddy ( 10 mm bore) you can use fuel pipe.

As long as it's reinforced. :thumb:

Nik,
I thought of that as i have enough pipe of different sorts at mine to bring my own gas from the North Sea i think.
The pipe has a compound 90 degree bend in it so straight pipe will kink. I will wait for the right one i think.
Cheers
Eddy

[Nik]

Surely you have a piece of some reinforced pipe or other with a 90 deg. bend at your gaff.

You have everything else laying around

Got loads of pipe Nik, but as i say it is a compound bend and in a very awkward place. Not going to bother bodging it. The car deserves the correct part and i only want to do the job once. My ethics anyway :roll:
Got some other cars to keep me amused for a couple of weeks
