I have an Rb25det and the coolant line that raps around the back of the head coming off the turbo is broken somewhere behind the back of the head. Is there any where to get a factory hard line or does anybody have one laying around? Or should i buy a steel braided line? Any help on what i should do would be appreciated or any tips on how to get the line out of there because it looks like a pain. Thanks

You can try rhdjapan, or maybe even rawbrokerage has one lying around in the parts bin. Either way, that line is a total b**** on the 20, don't know if it's the same on a 25.

is it the hard line or the rubber hose? If you can pin point the leak that would be great. Most likely we can send you out the part for free with your next order or cover the shipping.

This is one of the main reasons I am going to clean up all the coolant pathways for my setup. I would prefer a braided line running across the front of the motor versus the back. Plus getting rid of everything I don't need in the spiderweb of hoses underneath the intake manifold is a plus. It's so messy under there that even a mouse would get lost in that maze.
