4mm & 6mm both came in a 3mtr pack not cheep either. but they dont make a 10mm hose for the breather to the rocker cover :(

Make sure you replace it though, just use fuel hose or something. Mine was badly cracked, hardened and leaking.

Win. Cheers Leon. They do all the different lengths too. Since I've already broken a couple might just go to town and replace them all.

Sometime after I get that cruise control fitted... :whistling:

Yeah, I ordered a half metre of one thing, 2m of another. Just mix & match sizes & lengths till you've got an engine bay full.

And what's the deal with you buying everything & fitting nothing :rolleyes: . Get that CC installed already, lol.

Might have to get some. I like the blue, not as rice as red but still nice. Matches my HDI silicon too.

Hey Theo, what about this: http://www.ebay.com....#ht_1462wt_1180

Or this? http://www.ebay.com....9#ht_1155wt_922

if anything i'd go for the second one because the first one doesnt look flexable enough but i could be wrong LOL

damn i payed way to much for the 'turbo smart' hose through autobarn :( ahwell

and NOTE: im talking about internal diameter of the hose.

now that ive replaced all the vacuum hoses the cars running sluggish as hell and sits on 10PSI and barely reaches 12PSI at higher rev's(should be 16PSI easy!!!)................ i found the restricter in the wastegate hose and put it back in and there seems to be no leaks cos its sitting on 15-16Inhg in gear.

hhmmm what am i missing ???

  • 2 weeks later...

after replacing all the vacuum hoses the cars driving like sh!t, i just wanna kick it in the c*nt LOL

tryed putting on a turbosmart boost tee to see if it helped any, seems its worse than the stock system as it cant hold the boost very well.........

does anyone know the correct sizes for all the vacuum lines? i measured the outlets that the hoses sit on at 4mm and 6mm but doesnt mean the hoses werent smaller and stretched over the fittings...........

but possibly my turbo is on the way out anyways so that might be the reason why its running stuggier and wont hit the same PSI as before.......

    • Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners
    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
