hey mate check ebay out? or even nengun, pretty sure u can get complete kits for your engine blue or red i think all silicone

Check Ebay, Nengun, Greenline...

Samco do different coloured hoses, but you'll be spending around $500 or so to replace them all.

I just picked up some cheap blue Autobahn silicon hoses from J-Shop the other day for a bit over $100 (these are temporary hoses while I wait for my Samco hoses), however these are similar silicon hoses you can get off Ebay for about $80 delivered.

If you are thinking of doing vaccum lines and that, the best stuff is the blue stuff from go-gear, but im not too sure if its ok to use a water lines.

In the last line of mods on the GTR, I replaced the water and oil line on the turbos with stainless braided lines and applicable fittings.. I went with the Horsepowerinabox line kits x2 and heap of additional fittings to get everything correctly hooked up, there was a bit of work in it, but at the end of the day it is far far better then the solids that I had before. It did however cost quite a bit of fold. I ended up doing about 3 orders in total and Maurie and HPIAB helped me out with all the fittings that I needed. If i had access to my old emails, I'd tell you exactly what I got, but I just moved and my PC's are in storage.

How are braided turbo lines better then solid?

[masTers]

Have to change them when going to some after market turbos. Also i had to change from solid to braided when doing my RB26 convo as they get in the way of the rwd engine mounts.

Ok, so there isnt any specific improvement related reason one would change them then?

one thing i can note on is that when you remove a solid line (banjo bolt) you also need to replace the copper washers with new ones every time, the speed-flow/earls dash fittings being a screw fitting eliminates the need for this every time you remove the connection.

very handy if its a part that frequently needs to be removed (hence why drag and race teams dont skimp on fittings)

i bought 5 metres from go gear at around 60 dollars, then bought 20 metres from chris mills performance for 40 bucks... exact same hose.. Chris mills only sell it in bag lengths of 10 metres.

4 and 5 mm is the common size for the vaccum lines on skylines

[Flash89]

vaccum hose used on waste gate??

[Flash89]

well i am doing the radiator hoses with braided lines and the rest of the waterlines with red silicon hoses. also changing the vaccum hoses to red
