I talked to Nissan about this. They don't stock kits well the one i went to. they need to be ordered from Japan and are quite expensive. I think around couple hundy mark, that was just heater hoses aswell. A generic hose will prob cover some of the straighter ones, @ $5 a meter

I put a diagram up off all the hoses up with their part numbers and locations somewhere on here.

I'll have another search, didn't find much when I looked, yeah Nissan have been no real help, I was hoping for an aftermarket option, I did see import monster sell gtr kits once

R32 gtr hose kits are common and easily found, you can get them in blue silicone as well on ebay.

There probably are places that form the shaped hoses for you from silicone, that is an option you just need to have the hoses available to copy.

heres the hose diagrams for ya

they are all moulded so you can't just buy a long peice of hose and think you're going to fit bits of that

nissan don't stock 'kits' you need to ring up or better yet go in and go through with them on the nissan FAST program which hoses you want

i did the hoses that run under and around the manifold on my r32 a while ago and they cost me like $300 wihtout doing the heater hoses

haven't tried the kits

yes the hoses are expensive, but it's something that you'll only do once in the time you own the car and it's awesome peice of mind once you do them knowing they aren't going to bust on you

I had a split heater hose under the manifold that needed fixing, Was a straight piece about 60mm long 1" wide and thats why I brought some hose from Repco to replace, rather than waiting 3 weeks 30 bucks later from Nissan.

Some are pretty straight forward and can be done using standard flexible hose.

Those diagrams are from Nissan, they are the codes that you need to give Nissan to get the right hoses from Japan. you cannot get a kit as such, but you can order all the hoses in the diagram & like Mystery-Kid said they are quite expensive.

Best thing to do is look at which hoses can be replaced with generic normal hose, and order the real awkward shaped hoses from Nissan eg: firewall entry hoses. There are a few that normal hose can replace, and will save you a lot of money, at around $30 a piece its something to consider.

    • I think the consensus was that's normal. Sloped road surfaces or something? I remember @silviaz went through this before. It might be one of those things you never notice until you pay attention to it.
    • Im not entirely sure exactly what or where its leaking from, he started to pull the boots to swap to my new tie rods + ends and it just vomited fluid, so he closed em up up, swapped the rod ends to the old rods and let me know so I can figure a solution out, im guessing its all origional as as I passed 103k miles earlier this year im sure its just in need of a full overhual/rebuild anyways.    If i could just yank it off and be good it wouldn't be an issue to ship it out and wait for the turnaround but the guy I work with doesnt really have space to keep my car for a week or two at a time, would rather drop it off and have a replacement ready to drop in
    • What do you mean by "seals"? Internal hydraulic seals (ie, is it leaking PS fluid?) or the rack boots that close the rack onto the tie-rods? Because the former is a rebuild, and the latter is trivial that you or any nearby mechanic could do. Dunno about the cowl. Just buy what you think is required and get anything else you find/break afterwards. Wing? Dunno. Don't like R33s enough to pay attention to them. Mirror glass is just glass (on the surface that you want to polish). Go for it.
    • Hello! Long time lurker, been using the forums to address concerns and questions from afar for a while but I've struggled to find some answers so I guess its about time I made an account and formally asked some more knowledgeable people, since finding local skyline owners is hard (and shops that are knowledgeable or trustworthy to work on 'rare' cars are non existent out where im at, as skylines are quite uncommon to find in the wild around here). So the main 3 questions I have, 1: Steering rack has blown seals, well.. they kind of hold but they are not sealed properly anymore and as my R33 is my DD, i cant exactly rip the rack out and send it off or attempt to fix myself. As most refurb ones are around $1,100 or more shipped, and I have other things I need to work on around the car, I was seeking clarification on whether an S15 rack will more or less bolt right in, and whether a common mechanic could do any other required work to get it to fit. I ask, as I've found a supplier than can sell a manufactured as oem one for around 400, if not I'll likely order a used one from Jacks JDM, and take a risk on the seals there. The second question i have is that im replacing the front wiper cowl and have planned to buy 4 new clips and a new center clip but wasnt sure if there were any other clips that would also need to get replaced while I was at it. Given im sure any that are there now will simply break when I remove the old cowl... Last thing would be a fairly straight forward question, i think. If I manage (strong if, finding one has proven to be a pain) to find a R33 GTR spoiler/wing will it require much modification to bolt to a S2 R33 GTST? I've read the bolt patterns dont match but otherwise would bolt in, only options I have found with much luck is China stuff on ebay and carbonetics, which has a nice $650 shipping fee... so if anyone has any pointers where a US chap could locate one that would be great Random side question as well, the mirrors as I understand are mirror glass, and as im planning to polish my windows from water spots and surface scratches, i was hopeful cerium oxide would be fine for them too, as my research points to, but clarification is always nice. Any pointers would be appreciated, and while I have scoured the internet for answers if I missed a prior post somewhere that may answer these directly please point me towards it, as i must have simply missed it. I have seen a post here or there that has mentioned it, but I usually get 50-50 answers, or half answers... I dont have a lot of fab experience or mechanic experience, outside of hydraulic and pneumatic stuff I did in the military and with how hard it is to source stuff in the US, id rather not wing it and hemmoraghe money lol. Thanks guys! Sorry for the monumental first post haha
    • Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!
