If you have time i would source a kit from the UK. Its the only place that seems to make the heater hoses for gtst (in silicone hose) think i ordered these from boost junkie or something along those lines

The rest of my hoses are JJR im fairly certain. Its silicone hose, works fine

Oem doesn't leak tho, which if you're happy to have to retighten all the clamps every so often to fix the leaks then yes it worth saving the $350, I am a do it once kind of person

This is from personal experience on my own car

But Cal don't you have a 25, not a 26.

Under the plenum on a 26 is horrendous and you don't want to have to go back to re-tighten anything. (not that you could anyway)

Apart from the coolant hoses, there's the vacuum ones as well.

Stole this pic of a silicone hose install and below that mess are the water/oil cooler hoses.

I bought the Autobahn88 silicone hose set, fitted the easy one across the front of the cam belt and it pushed straight off, diameter just not right.

So that set went in the shed until I can afford OEM.

$350 sounds crazy cheap for OEM though???

Ahha i knew there were more hoses but didnt quite realise there were that many more haha. I thought mine was bad even with 1/3 of them deleted.

Lets put it this way. If you buy shit quality hose you'll be doing it again once they split or fall off, lol.

I presume the JJR is okay but the best would be OEM. If you calculate the efforts spent on removing the plenum again to do the job again if the kit fails you'll see why it's worth it.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
