beenowened Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Hi alI I recently got a leak in one of my heater hoses on my r33 gtst, so while the car is apart i thought i may aswell replace all the hoses to save myself doing it all again in a few months. i have searched and havnt come up with much luck in getting a kit that has all the hoses in it, i have found one on ebay. so i was wondering if anyone has used it before or know if it is any good? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/silicone-radiator-ancillary-hose-kit-Nissan-Skyline-EC-R33-GTS-25t-RB25DET-93-98-/250919410377?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a6bf65ac9 Or if anyone knows somewhere i can get a kit from? thanks owen Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/397090-water-hoses/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystery_kid Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Personally, I would use stock rubber ones from Nissan but they will cost a fair but more than that Nissan don't do a kit you would need to either get on the phone or less painfully go to Nissan and stand there with them on the computer and order each hose Not sure about silicon hoses and coolant Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/397090-water-hoses/#findComment-6305665 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydking Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I am looking to do the same, there are kits available, but I was hoping for std Nissan ones Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/397090-water-hoses/#findComment-6305989 Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenCJR31 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Yeah ebay will be the only place you will get a kit like that. . .. . you COULD get all those hoses from nissan but you will get raped by them for it! i reckon go ahead and fit these hoses but keep an eye on them for any ballooning or signs of failure, they would have to be better than the crusty old hoses that are on there now, please use new hose clamps Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/397090-water-hoses/#findComment-6306081 Share on other sites More sharing options...

t_revz Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 thanks for your help guys. Yeah i will go price up the hoses from nissan first as i would prefer to use them. Grab part numbers when they quote it. If they aren't too expensive post them here and it will make it easy for others with the same dilemma.

D.I.Y. Mik Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 There is a cheapish alternative to some hoses, The fairly straight ones you can use straight hose, for bends theres brass elbows, you can even go and look at the pile of hoses at supersht, there are useful sections that can be cut out. The rest, Nissan. some hoses have to be just right or they dont fit.

D.I.Y. Mik Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 one more thing, waterless coolant is zero pressure. hoses cant burst, no pressure. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/397090-water-hoses/#findComment-6307475 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKYL1N Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Did this on my 33 a few weeks back, the mechanic made a whole set of custom hoses with generic hose pieces and elbow bends, saved me a FORTUNE, and looks roughly the same. had heaps of trouble fitting them behind the engine though.

mystery_kid Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) nissan wont be cheap, i paid $300 for a set of hoses for my r32 gts-t and that wasnt including the 2 big heater hoses or radiator hoses - just the hoses that run under and through plenum while i had the plenum off i also had the fuel injectors cleaned and tested while they were out by a mobile guy as i said, i personally wouldnt use any other but nissan - but i use car on the track too so i dont mess around with things that can be done properly pretty easily like that the worst bit is if you have an issue after you do the work its not easy to fix taking that plenum off is a hassle, i havent done it on an rb25 but it looks like there is even more involved with that for my rb20 i just used proper hoses and new good quality hose clamps from enzed - issue fixed permanently Edited April 9, 2012 by mystery_kid Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/397090-water-hoses/#findComment-6308751 Share on other sites More sharing options...
