One of the hoses on the rear of the engine(drivers side) are leaking coolant.
I can't see any other way then to pull the plenum off (I've heard it's a fun job).
I guess I should replace all the hoses I can when it's off. What are recommended, OEM or silicon? Are there any kit's with all hoses needed?
Anything else that would be wise to replace when the plenum is off(except gasket)?

Yeah, plenum off and replace them all.

Good time to install or paint/powdercoat a few things as well as new intake gaskets, hose clamps, oil cooler etc etc

Nissan parts have lasted 20 or so years and new nissan parts will too.

I understand silicone is probably "better" but that's quality silicone. The ebay kits are honestly fine, it's just a bit of a lucky dip as some are good enough and others are not, some fit and others won't - whereas the genuine path is fairly trouble free.

Some say that you should upgrade to silicone. and some say that it's rubbish. Confused :4_joy:

Ive been unfortunate enough to buy one of those kits and have it leak, i then had a friend buy one despite me telling him they are problematic and his leaked as well

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
