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.

    • Ah. OK. I take it back. I hadn't looked closely at the R33/4 arms and presumed that GKTech did as GKTech do everywhere else, which is to use sphericals there. The poly bushings are made to be 100% interchangeable, should use the standard bolt just fine. Every other bush in every other place in pretty much every other car, does.
    • @silviaz Ok cool, so much easier with a video. I can see why this video would be confusing for new players.   It is obvious that this entire bonnet is going to be resprayed, have a look in the background around 2:05, you can see a bunch of bare metal on the left side of the bonnet.  It's not an issue for the primer being laid down on the non-prepped clear on the bonnet. It will be sanded off at a later stage.  This might not be obvious to new players, but working on bare metal and factory paint in this instance, the factory paint is like a mountain and the bare metal is a huge valley. The bonnet needs to be levelled flat before it receives it's final stage of colour and clear coat. During this levelling process, the primer that is landing on the clear that you are worried about will be removed.  Also, this guy is out of control. Zero PPE while spraying, maybe he is a good example overall about what not to do lol.
    • Ok I FINALLY found a video lol. This took way longer than it should have as I could have sworn I saw multiple videos like this. I kept finding the completely opposite (the correct way of doing this). I wouldn't be surprised if I f**ked this up somehow.  I just realised where I've been getting confused and even with other things I work on. I haven't been doing things the regular way instead I'm going a roundabout way of doing things, like putting epoxy primer first then filler for example instead of putting just filler then primer on top of that, then wondering what happens if I get that primer on the clear coat that I haven't sanded yet. This was a bit of an epiphany 😂  But anyways, here this video. Time stamp, 2:56, some of the primer lands on the paint unscuffed above. You can see from the reflection it looks shiny.  
    • It does, this part circled in red. I assume the OEM bolt might not work well with the poly bushing because the dimensions may be different?
    • The J arm doesn't have bushes either. Assuming that by "J arm" you mean the part of the upright that runs down from the upper arm's outer bushes to the top of the hub. That has a kingpin style bearing in it. If you meant the lower control arm, it has 1 bush, at its inner end. If you have PU in there, that is superior to Nismo rubber. If you meant the caster/tension rod - it has 1x bush at the front end, and again PU is superior to Nismo rubber. But as I said above, I would definitely get the GKTech arms for that, as sphericals slay all other options there.
