I am looking to replace all of the coolant and heater hoses on my Rb35det R33 and was wondering what everyone was using these days. Theres a few threads from 5 years ago with all the nissan part numbers for about $430 worth of hoses, but now theres a couple of silicone hose kits on ebay and just jap and was seeing if anyones had any experience with either of them.

Cheers

An old friend bought a genuine kit from Kudos for a couple of hundred which I think is OK considering it came with most of the hoses for the engine bay. I think silicone looks tacky so I would go down the genuine route too.

I kind of picky about the silicone hoses and i think they look terrible, but Just jap black silicone kit for about 130ish i think it was for the hoses you can't see which run under the plenum and for the radiator hoses, i got gates ones from repco

no issues as of yet

Thanks for the replies,Not too worried on looks, much more interested in just replacing 20 year old hoses.

Theres 14 piece ebay kits that look very convienient for $80, just wanting to double check that Im not getting myself some dodgy hoses that are likely to burst

      Great info @tidi0x  Will definitely be handy for others and maybe me if I decide to keep the shit box H pattern.

      Bumping this up one last time.... I wanted to follow up on the clutch slave issue. I realized that what the issue comes down to is the pocket is flat milled, and the cylinder does not want rest flat. So in order to mount it correctly you will need to make a spacer for the fingers so the cylinder is floating. I took two plates of aluminum, drilled some holes and was good. I did still need to make the relief cuts in the bell housing, as even with the spacer the bleed section still interferes. The OE bell housing the mounting holes are raised from the housing.

      If the event in USA goes ahead will be interesting as it seems the rules will get more cars over here. Apparently the track is laguna seca too. Yeah s15, if I get a the lower dash trims, centre console and change front cross member to standard LCA position will fit clubsprint. See how rules are as i would rather do complete widebody than a bolt on flare to run the 295 with proper clearance.

      If the car is legal height I can't see it being an issue. Found a thread on reddit that might offer some insight.   I got a ticket from a copper in QLD for my S15 being too low. They had this wheel thing on a stick that they put under the car and it hit my exhaust. Anyhow went to an exhaust shop to get the exhaust tucked up/hung a little higher and I wound the coilovers up a smidge. Don't think I even had to go back to the police station unlike when I got defected for having a carbon bonnet when I brought the S15 from the ACT to QLD and had to replace it and then rock up at a police station and have a yougish female officer who knew nothing about cars confirm that I had changed bonnets. Should have just painted the carbon bonnet yellow to match the rest of the car lol
