Hi guys,

Can anyone provide any input about E-Bay coolant hose kits? looking to replace all coolant hoses whilst engine is out as they look a bit how you going

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Silicone-Ancillary-Heater-Hose-Full-Clamp-Set-Fit-Skyline-R32-RB20DET-GTS-BK/152974549937?epid=1145071623&hash=item239dfe63b1:g:blwAAOSw5P9bIa-2&frcectupt=true

Also whilst engine is out, is there any other maintenance you would be doing now to make life easier later?

I'm replacing clutch already.

Regards,

Dylan

Personally I would be buying from a reputable source like Just Jap, Kudos etc or one of the site sponsors or advertisers.  I've heard [not experienced, so BIG difference] bad things about the ebay ones re fitment and endurance.

These hose kits are all from the same supplier in one way or another. I know JJ get their cheap shit from a company in India. Without a doubt this is the same crap you see on eBay. From what I see, Kudos sell name brand Jap hose kits & genuine. The eBay kits are more than fine to use if you're on a budget. I'd recommend genuine if you have the spare pocket change though...

I bought the justjap silicon ones and have been using them on my rebuilt motor for about 8 months or so. No issues with leaks. Bought new hose clamps as well. Just jap have been selling these for years. If they were shit no one would buy them.

I did have to trim a few of the hoses down because some were a bit long I guess that's expected. Nothing fits like original I guess. The just jap ones are well made thick material. I personally have no issues. I don't see myself replacing them anytime soon.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Do any reputable Japanese brands come to mind? I'd like to cost compare, if its only a few extra dollars I think it would be worth going with a reputable brand

There's oem then aftermarket silicon which is about half the price. Nickles and dimes difference really.

Yes that was quite common... Plenty of people used to return the kits for that reason believe it or not...

Just so we are clear. There were no issues with the mould. In that sense they were perfect. Same shape as original. As they are a thicker material packaging wise it is bigger than stock. I don't know about other people but first hand experience they are great. Good quality and don't leak. What else do you want from a hose?

      Engine Issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Resizing injectors in Nistune can be done a couple of ways, and there are a couple of ways that you can make a mess of it. The tuner needs to be really aware of the effects of whichever approach he uses (either K, or TIM). They are both easy enough to "get the injector size right" to run the engine. But little details like old start enrichment and hot start are affected differently, depending on which boxes you check.

      Pretty safe to say almost everyone that has tuned their own car has experienced this issue. The difference being that we have our laptop in the car and when it happens, it's literally 10 seconds of tuning to sort it.  Would you be happy to plug in your laptop and sort this yourself? It is a very simple process and there is no risk of harming your engine (if you are worried about that).

      Basically your tuner needs to drive it for the 30 min (or whatever) to create the same conditions then check the ECU settings and sensors at that time. They may not be excited to because that takes them 30 min rather than just opening the bonnet and seeing the problem straight away.... Hot start is generally not as tricky as cold start, but there would be a table for fuel enrichment vs coolant temp as a starting point

      Yeah, they all cant say anything for sure as everything is working fine . Said unable to find an issue untill it stops again. Could mist likely be CAS wiring or IAS valve issue but again not 100%
