Hey guys, i have split another hose on my rb26 after not driving the car for a week. im over the hoses splitting this is probably the 6th time its happened over the last year and a bit.

Are there a better choice of hoses to look for or is the material similar with them all and i wont find much difference between hoses? Im praying its not my head gasket as when i had my 200sx it used to do the same thing and eventually opened the head and found a warped gasket. Cant afford big costs after just having another child.

What hoses do most use? the hose thats split is again one of the ones sitting at the back of the motor last time i split 2 hoses in 3 different points per hose but this was during hot summers day.

RB26 - replace all hoses.

My experience: When 1 splits, then another - It's telling you their usefull life expectancy is over.

Hence go through and replace all or it will continue to be one at a time untill there all done.

You'll be told OEM are best and they probably are. I didn't spend the time/money tracking these down through NIssan spares.

I used a complete silicon hose kit that I bought of another member on here.

SFS Performance hoses are best aftermarket.

And use the search button and you'll find a thread that discusses different silicon hose kits.

+11ty. Do them all - no question. I used Nissan hoses. Some silicon are good, some are crap, to me they seem a little more prone to leaking.
