Hey all,

My upper radiator hose for my r32, sprung a leak and caused a big mess in the car.

Im after a replacement hose, either original Nissan or other.

Im having trouble sourcing one, as all shops (repco, autobarn, burson, nissan) are out of stock and I need to order in.

Nissan says they can get one by Monday Afternoon but would like one tomorrow so i can get the car on the road ASAP.

Would anyone know where I could get a brand new radiator hose tomorrow (Sunday?)

JustJap sell radiator hoses but unfortunately are located in NSW and postage would take several days.

Are there any Jap Import part suppliers open tomorrow in the SE area which may have this hose?

Thanks :laugh:

I've got a used one you could borrow until Nissan get a new one in for you. PM for contact details.

Thanks for the offer :)

Seems too much hassle to borrow and fit on a used hose only to remove the next day once Nissan part arrives.

If i dont end up finding a pipe i can always call in sick on monday :laugh:

Cheers

Patrick

Just take the pipe to supercheap or autobarn and pick a hose similar. You may have to cut it but for $10 it gets you driving for the day. I've done this before and it works because I couldn't be bothered waiting for them to order one.

what nissan you go to? I'm in need of some bits, they sound like a good one for import bits. The one near me isn't even like a full nissan it's like a nissan/chrysler so i don't think they are gonna be too helpful....

well he told me that, if i order the hose on monday morning, I will receive monday afternoon. Although, the same upper hose is used for the GTR, and they could have it on stock due to the car being locally delivered?

Find it odd how they would have hoses on stock for a r32 gtst sitting somewhere if they were an overseas make.

dealers dont keep every part for every car in stock, patrick.

if they did, it would be a f**king nightmare to run.

trust me.

Just picked up radiator hose, ordered in the morning. Spoke to the guy and said they can get any skyline parts, as for the uncommon bits they can order them from Nissan Japan.

Cheers

      People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now.

      George's R33 GTST build

      Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.

      They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.

      I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
