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?

      Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ?

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
