New Hose

[1st 32]

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...

I replaced mine the other week because I had a big split. Got a suitable hose from Pirtek for under $15.

Replaced all breather hoses I could get to with silicone hose from ministry of base on south road...

Pic attached (I personnally think it looks better with the blue silicone)

1st 32, were you able to buy from a roll of the hose or were they pre cut lengths?
