R33 GTR plenum removal, coolant leak

[Cypher87]

One of the hoses on the rear of the engine(drivers side) are leaking coolant.
I can't see any other way then to pull the plenum off (I've heard it's a fun job).
I guess I should replace all the hoses I can when it's off. What are recommended, OEM or silicon? Are there any kit's with all hoses needed?
Anything else that would be wise to replace when the plenum is off(except gasket)?

Yeah, plenum off and replace them all.

Good time to install or paint/powdercoat a few things as well as new intake gaskets, hose clamps, oil cooler etc etc

Don’t use the silicon kits they’re rubbish and end up leaking 90% of the time

Some say that you should upgrade to silicone. and some say that it's rubbish. Confused

Nissan parts have lasted 20 or so years and new nissan parts will too.

I understand silicone is probably "better" but that's quality silicone. The ebay kits are honestly fine, it's just a bit of a lucky dip as some are good enough and others are not, some fit and others won't - whereas the genuine path is fairly trouble free.

Ive been unfortunate enough to buy one of those kits and have it leak, i then had a friend buy one despite me telling him they are problematic and his leaked as well
