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.

    • 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!
    • Got you mate. Check your email!
    • I see you've never had to push start your own car... You could save some weight right now...
    • Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol.
