R33 Silicon Hose Kits Suck!

It seems to me most Skylines have an aftermarket hose kit fitted. I have purchased a cheap kit from eBay and found two hoses don't fit anywhere and about 6 hoses haven't been supplied. When I look around at other kits they all seem to have the same pieces. What's going on? Does anyone make a complete hose kit? My RB25DET is stock with carbon canister fitted. I want to replace all air/water hoses except the biggest induction hoses. Any help appreciated.

I had this done recently on my 34 GTT and it's a puzzle job. My workshop had to piece it together from multiple kits, there are no off the shelf full kits for the Neo as far as I know. Shame.

I had same issue - they all rubbish not mention the fact they all start falling apart and coolant leaks out of the wicks... it's virtually impossible to find a decent kit that covers all the hoses you need to replace!

wow. i was in two minds about getting a ebay kit vs oem. definitely going oem now!

I hear Samco silicon hoses are good, otherwise OEM. Been burnt by radiator hose that leaked and fell apart.
