Shoujiki Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Hey guys, I'm going to be doing a timing belt, water pump service soon and want to replace the radiator hoses at the same time. What are people opinions on the use of Silicon hose kits? I noticed you can get the JJR ones for $49 for both hoses. Genuine sets will be around $105 odd. Is it better to use rubber? I also like the look/quality of the Samco stuff but it's hard to find in Black for the 34 GTT. I'll also be putting in a Fenix Alloy Radiator and Genuine Thermostat while i'm there. Cheers, Kurt.

GTR_JOEY Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Id probably just ge the standard ones.. its not bad for that price and you know the hoses are made to last and they are going to look stock... If I was going to go aftermarket I would get the samco ones, pretty sure they have a triple layer re-enforcement (or what ever its called) to stop leaks over time..

Shoujiki Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 Thanks GTR_JOEY. I'll be going Genuine Nissan i think as you say. Lasts the distance and look stock/not too leary. Full street car so no need to upgraded hoses for the sake of upgraded hoses. Cheers for your advice.
