R33GTST Replacement for 8mm coolant bypass hose?

[Torques]

I'm looking to replace this hose, it is attached to a small distributor (see pictures)

I think it goes to the throttle body.

 

I was thinking of a somewhat more 'nice' hose/less rigid and less prone to ageing  .. but silicone hoses are possibly not up to  the coolant pressure.

 

Any recommendations?

 

Thanks!

Dude.  It's 20 years old.  Just replace it with a stock one and wait another 20 years before worrying about it again.

Stock one, silicone, or go to supercheap/repco and find a bit of 8mm heater hose with a similar bend and chuck it on.

Don't over think it.

Yes, you're both right .. will try the source the stock one.
