I talked to Nissan about this. They don't stock kits well the one i went to. they need to be ordered from Japan and are quite expensive. I think around couple hundy mark, that was just heater hoses aswell. A generic hose will prob cover some of the straighter ones, @ $5 a meter

I put a diagram up off all the hoses up with their part numbers and locations somewhere on here.

I'll have another search, didn't find much when I looked, yeah Nissan have been no real help, I was hoping for an aftermarket option, I did see import monster sell gtr kits once

R32 gtr hose kits are common and easily found, you can get them in blue silicone as well on ebay.

There probably are places that form the shaped hoses for you from silicone, that is an option you just need to have the hoses available to copy.

heres the hose diagrams for ya

they are all moulded so you can't just buy a long peice of hose and think you're going to fit bits of that

nissan don't stock 'kits' you need to ring up or better yet go in and go through with them on the nissan FAST program which hoses you want

i did the hoses that run under and around the manifold on my r32 a while ago and they cost me like $300 wihtout doing the heater hoses

haven't tried the kits

yes the hoses are expensive, but it's something that you'll only do once in the time you own the car and it's awesome peice of mind once you do them knowing they aren't going to bust on you

I had a split heater hose under the manifold that needed fixing, Was a straight piece about 60mm long 1" wide and thats why I brought some hose from Repco to replace, rather than waiting 3 weeks 30 bucks later from Nissan.

Some are pretty straight forward and can be done using standard flexible hose.

Those diagrams are from Nissan, they are the codes that you need to give Nissan to get the right hoses from Japan. you cannot get a kit as such, but you can order all the hoses in the diagram & like Mystery-Kid said they are quite expensive.

Best thing to do is look at which hoses can be replaced with generic normal hose, and order the real awkward shaped hoses from Nissan eg: firewall entry hoses. There are a few that normal hose can replace, and will save you a lot of money, at around $30 a piece its something to consider.

    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
    • The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.
    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
