Jjr Heater Hose Kit Review ? Legit ?

[cobrAA]

Engine is out, would like to swap the 20yr old hose, how is the JJR kit ?? theyve been out fo r over 3 years surely some ppl must heard about them ?

thanks !

Why not OEM? If it worked for 20 years then that seems a good endorsement.

If you have time i would source a kit from the UK. Its the only place that seems to make the heater hoses for gtst (in silicone hose) think i ordered these from boost junkie or something along those lines

The rest of my hoses are JJR im fairly certain. Its silicone hose, works fine

The samco ones are also a good quality silicon hose.

Expensive but still cheaper them OEM

If I had the cash I would definably buy OEM

i put brand new oem ones in my car and it wasn't as bad on price as people think it will be

[jay-rod]

I got the jjrs on mine
Seem ok

Had them on there for about 4 years now

I cut one up for a temp sensor, seems to be ok.

JJR should suit fine but sourcing the OEM ones would be ideal as suggested.

jjr 150$... oem is approx. 500.. quite a price difference.

[Missileman]

Did you try Amayama.com ? some times their price are a little cheaper than Nissan Australia's

[r32-25t]

Oem doesn't leak tho, which if you're happy to have to retighten all the clamps every so often to fix the leaks then yes it worth saving the $350, I am a do it once kind of person

This is from personal experience on my own car

[fatz]

For 350 oem

Non of my JJR hoses are leaking

For 350 oem

That's around what I paid from Amayama.

But Cal don't you have a 25, not a 26.

Under the plenum on a 26 is horrendous and you don't want to have to go back to re-tighten anything. (not that you could anyway)

Apart from the coolant hoses, there's the vacuum ones as well.

Stole this pic of a silicone hose install and below that mess are the water/oil cooler hoses.

I bought the Autobahn88 silicone hose set, fitted the easy one across the front of the cam belt and it pushed straight off, diameter just not right.

So that set went in the shed until I can afford OEM.

$350 sounds crazy cheap for OEM though???

Ahha i knew there were more hoses but didnt quite realise there were that many more haha. I thought mine was bad even with 1/3 of them deleted.

[breaker1845]

Lets put it this way. If you buy shit quality hose you'll be doing it again once they split or fall off, lol.

I presume the JJR is okay but the best would be OEM. If you calculate the efforts spent on removing the plenum again to do the job again if the kit fails you'll see why it's worth it.

[Piggaz]

^^ so much this.

That intake plenum is suck a prick of a thing. For the sale a few hundred bucks, OEM all the way!!

[iruvyouskyrine]

Jesus f**king Christ. And I thought under a 25 plenum was bad. That's bullshit.

[cobrAA]

any one know all the part # for the oem ?
