Check Ebay, Nengun, Greenline...

Samco do different coloured hoses, but you'll be spending around $500 or so to replace them all.

I just picked up some cheap blue Autobahn silicon hoses from J-Shop the other day for a bit over $100 (these are temporary hoses while I wait for my Samco hoses), however these are similar silicon hoses you can get off Ebay for about $80 delivered.

In the last line of mods on the GTR, I replaced the water and oil line on the turbos with stainless braided lines and applicable fittings.. I went with the Horsepowerinabox line kits x2 and heap of additional fittings to get everything correctly hooked up, there was a bit of work in it, but at the end of the day it is far far better then the solids that I had before. It did however cost quite a bit of fold. I ended up doing about 3 orders in total and Maurie and HPIAB helped me out with all the fittings that I needed. If i had access to my old emails, I'd tell you exactly what I got, but I just moved and my PC's are in storage.

Ok, so there isnt any specific improvement related reason one would change them then?

one thing i can note on is that when you remove a solid line (banjo bolt) you also need to replace the copper washers with new ones every time, the speed-flow/earls dash fittings being a screw fitting eliminates the need for this every time you remove the connection.

very handy if its a part that frequently needs to be removed (hence why drag and race teams dont skimp on fittings)

If you are thinking of doing vaccum lines and that, the best stuff is the blue stuff from go-gear, but im not too sure if its ok to use a water lines.

Steve

i bought 5 metres from go gear at around 60 dollars, then bought 20 metres from chris mills performance for 40 bucks... exact same hose.. Chris mills only sell it in bag lengths of 10 metres.

4 and 5 mm is the common size for the vaccum lines on skylines

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
