my bet its the either the small hose that comes out of the block OR the small hose under the intake manifold

I did warn you when buying a 32 that those hoses are usually original hoses and pop frequently.. best you replace all of them.

the hoses under the intake manifold are a peice of shit to replace, if its the short straight hoses just use normal heater hose, no point in going genuine.

If your paying someone to fix it, I dont think your going to get much change out of 2-250 bucks. Iv replaced those hoses on all 3 of my 32s, hense why its best to bite the bullet and replace all the hoses however if your paying someone to do all the hoses expect to pay a fair bit, wont get much change out of 400 bucks at least just to buy all the hoses.

I was looking at replacing most of my hoses with silicon ones, you guys got an opinion on that?

I was considering genuine as my other option.

I think genuine is about 300 not including top and bottom hoses. Cant remember a price on the silicon ones, but I think its fairly similar.

Yeah, but theres bends and shit that you just cant mock up as well as having them moulded to fit.

Might ask the dudes from Just jap if they have something or might just replace everything except for the bendy bits with silicon and get genuine for the bits that I can't do nicely with silicon.

hense why i went genuine hoses on teh special bends.. the two short rubber hoses that go to the turbo at the back of the cyl head I used generic heaterhose as its a minor bend, the one that goes to the thottlebody i also used generic heater hose, the one that comes from the throttle body to teh intake manifold I used genuine and the hoses to the firewall i used genuines as there is heaps of bends, the hose that goes under the intake manifold and the small one to the block I also used generic heater hose as genuine hose you buy a huge peice for like 70 bucks and you use about 20mm of it. Also the hose that goes from back back side of the intake manifold underneat to the front of the block is pretty much a special genuine hose and the ones that come the upper section of the intake manifold on the front side to the lower side of the intake manifold (2 hoses) they are pretty much a genuine item.. realisticly you could get away with using all aftermarket straight hoses but it will look funny and wont be neat.

Pretty much my whole setup is custom what with the forward facing plenum etc.

The funky bendy hose from behind head to heater core spigot on the firewall is now generic straight hose as that's the one that split on the dyno and didn't have to source a genuine replacement. Works fine :)

Horses for courses though, I will have the benefit of the engine being on the stand to make up all these hoses and everything in or around the intake manifold needs to be customised to suit anyway.

Well I'm his mechanic, so ok the poor bastard who has to do all the work :D

Due to time restraints, I'm going to replace the blown one so he can drive it again, and in a few weeks I'll go through and replace the rest of them, not that I'm lookingforward to doing it. What your doing is the best way Bubba, MUCH more room when it's out of the car!

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
