Hey, I'm after a new hose as pictured and also the other similar ones if they're not too expensive...not sure where to get one from though? Also does anyone know what I'd call it or its function for general interests sake? I am in Adelaide.

Thanks for any help,

Tom

they are the breather hoses, they help equalise pressure across the head, and also recicrulate any excess pressure back into the plenum. you can get the originals from nissan, silicone ones (probably from traders like just jap on here) or custom braided lines.

BTW you should enclose your pod filter, its no good sitting there sucking in hot engine bay air. it might sound better than the standard airbox but its probably costing you power not gaining it

hey duncan ive always wanted to know, are the braided hoses from super cheap (around 60 bucks for a kit with i think 5 diff hose sizes) any good?

i know they say you get wat you paid for but does it really make that much of a diff wen the hoses are braided?

if its what i think you are referring to, they are just braided sleeves to make your hoses LOOK braided.

Thanks Duncan, so if they are a little worn and split at the ends do I need to replace it as fluid's not passing through?

Also, any suggestions on how to enclose the pod filter? I've seen threads on aftermarket boxes for sale, but for 33's and 34's or the do it your self cardboard/aluminium style...

    • Because sometimes I do dumb shit and because I kept thinking about 6.6kWh worth of PVs wouldn't be fully enough if I'm consuming during the day as well as charging. So I did a thing, added another 5kW of PVs lol. Since there's a spare MPPT port, why the fk not?

    • The alloy coolant reservoir has a sight glass, so as long as I can see coolant in the sight glass it's GTG, as for PS, it isn't anything catastrophic if it gets low, and as it hasn't lost a drop since I have owned the car I cannot see it being an issue, even after putting the "big block" 2.5 in....LOL The only time it gets slightly messy is at oil changes, as the oil filter sits above the frame, and I need to use a plastic bottle with its bottom cut off to catch the flow when loosening the filter
