Hey all,

My upper radiator hose for my r32, sprung a leak and caused a big mess in the car.

Im after a replacement hose, either original Nissan or other.

Im having trouble sourcing one, as all shops (repco, autobarn, burson, nissan) are out of stock and I need to order in.

Nissan says they can get one by Monday Afternoon but would like one tomorrow so i can get the car on the road ASAP.

Would anyone know where I could get a brand new radiator hose tomorrow (Sunday?)

JustJap sell radiator hoses but unfortunately are located in NSW and postage would take several days.

Are there any Jap Import part suppliers open tomorrow in the SE area which may have this hose?

Thanks :laugh:

I've got a used one you could borrow until Nissan get a new one in for you. PM for contact details.

Thanks for the offer :)

Seems too much hassle to borrow and fit on a used hose only to remove the next day once Nissan part arrives.

If i dont end up finding a pipe i can always call in sick on monday :laugh:

Cheers

Just take the pipe to supercheap or autobarn and pick a hose similar. You may have to cut it but for $10 it gets you driving for the day. I've done this before and it works because I couldn't be bothered waiting for them to order one.

what nissan you go to? I'm in need of some bits, they sound like a good one for import bits. The one near me isn't even like a full nissan it's like a nissan/chrysler so i don't think they are gonna be too helpful....

I went to Nissan Ferntree Gully, which apparently is "Australia's Most awarded nissan dealer ever!" :rofl:

lol I like the apparently :huh: i'll be down there tomorrow might have to pay them a visit and see if they have a sender or how long it will take to get me one.

well he told me that, if i order the hose on monday morning, I will receive monday afternoon. Although, the same upper hose is used for the GTR, and they could have it on stock due to the car being locally delivered?

Find it odd how they would have hoses on stock for a r32 gtst sitting somewhere if they were an overseas make.

dealers dont keep every part for every car in stock, patrick.

if they did, it would be a f**king nightmare to run.

trust me.

    • Probably speedometer itself if the odometer is ticking. If the needle is stuck from a bit of grease or something that can cause it to stay at 0. Or a cracked solder joint in the speedometer can do it too.
    • Thanks Fella’s   to take this off topic and to elaborate a bit more. I have an rb25/30 going into a r32 GTST.. expected to make around 600-700hp. Would you?   A) R34 GTT box   B) CD00#?  I’ve seen a few posts about the CD swap and sounds fairly involved with making it fit etc but if it’s worth the work then I’ll go that way
    • Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate 
    • He means "as opposed to mechanical cable drive". Older cars (R32 for ex.) had cable drive. Later cars with essentially the same gearbox, ie R34 GT (NA RB25) used essentially the same box as the R32 GTSt, but instead of a cable drive, had an electronic speed sender plugged into the same hole in the box, running from the same little gear that would have run the cable. Some of the shittier later cars use a speed sender on the nose of the diff, or the ABS sensors.
    • Lower than engine, or lower than it should at the hubs? Either way, that is a nice power figure and I'm not surprised you say it rips now. What stopped you from turning it up any more? Injectors? Or did it just stop responding to boost?
