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....

I went to Nissan Ferntree Gully, which apparently is "Australia's Most awarded nissan dealer ever!" :rofl:

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

      Anti Squat Kit

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      What are you doing with the car? street car or race car? People get hung up on the squat of the s/r chassis rears. There is positives to the squat if a car is setup and driven correctly for it (correct ride height, spring rate, alignment, damper valving). Generally just lengthen the rear traction arm by 5-10mm and that will help the squat and bump steer too. You are also correct with the roll centre too. This too also needs to be adjustable if you start messing with suspension geometry.   Having done quiet a bit of testing on race cars this year in regards to rear squat, I've seen some big positives from it in regards to drive off corners and traction.

      I find I am using the MX5 for everything except long overnight cruises with Jackie, or, if picking up the kids to go somewhere, the SS has so much more room inside, and is much more comfortable if your going to be doing Hwy driving for 6-8 hours And the MX5 isn't bad in stop go traffic for a manual transmission car, whilst the clutch kit has been upgraded from stock, it is still light, and also not having a stupidly light flywheel in it helps as well, I've spent alot of time sitting on the M5, M4 and M7 stuck in traffic when plodding around the Greater Sydney Region in it Another benefit is MX5's are not really a car that gets stolen, you can pretty much park it anywhere, and it will still be there when you return

      I can totally get why you like it for that sort of commute. I was thinking BoganDore because it's such a lazy drive, for things like stop start traffic.   I used to do over an hour in stop start shit from one side of Bris to the next, twice a day. My choice of car was larger displacement, with an auto. Basically for torque in low rpm/very low speed, and no clutch pedal. But loved a fun manual for the weekends, which the partner has (plus had the LandCruiser too for other fun drives). I now have an EV as a work car, and I tell ya what, ultimate daily driver, especially if youre out of energy, like I often am after work. I don't even need to touch the brake pedal   That said, I'm presently rebuilding the Liberty GTB to get it setup for weekend drives and track abuse! So small high revving turbo engine with 6 speed cog swapper!   But for your style of commute, I'd probably take the MX5 too!   For those choices, I'm ignoring fuel economy. Because I know how atrocious V8 daily life is for fuel from when I used to daily a manual SS, ha ha. Hence why I know I love the daily rumble of a V8

      People just don't understand how good MX5's actually are and how fun they are to drive, park, manuever. You feel like you have got some fun cheat code, while everyone else is sitting in their luxobargeSUV like normies who missed the point of living. It really is that noticable. As long as you/your stuff fit, and you're comfortable (they are), a MX5 is the best car on earth to daily around.
