In fact one of the next things for me to do is to replace the radiator hoses at my next service.

However, any coolant related hoses will be replaced with OEM. That's my personal plan at least.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00756231398846735466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026458778495935571.post-49381420038907518002020-05-04T18:14:24.453+09:002020-05-04T18:14:24.453+09:00Christian - better late than never, I guess - yes ...Christian - better late than never, I guess - yes if you have photos please send to me so I can see what it looks like!<br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />AkiAkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13586596582322556131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026458778495935571.post-83142019191263183952018-09-06T15:08:29.627+09:002018-09-06T15:08:29.627+09:00Aki,

I just finished this job on my 32 after I noticed the hose at the takeoff for the thermostat housing was leaking. <br /><br />I suspect that the hose to the cooler is something that commonly goes bad as I noticed mine had an approx 5 mm slit forming (got lucky that I replaced it before it went bad completely I suppose). <br /><br />Anyway, I replaced the hoses using this kit (Which is a full kit for all vacuum and coolant lines) in the OEM black colour option. If keeping things looking 'stock' is your thing then I'd really recommend it as it's pretty difficult to tell these apart from the OEM Rubber. But lots of other colour options are available too.<br /><br />https://roosemotorsport.co.uk/nissan-skyline-r32-gtr-ancillary-hose-kit.html<br /><br />https://roosemotorsport.co.uk/nissan-skyline-r32-gtr-coolant-hose-kit.html<br /><br />I'm not exactly sure as to what if any differences in the hosing is present between 32/33's but the only issue I had was not being able to use the stock hose clips that attach to the bulkhead for the heater hoses (no big deal, I fashioned my own out of some Stainless P clips).<br /><br />Can get you some pictures if you wish.<br /><br />ChristianAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736753631769164984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026458778495935571.post-25026392586100205452016-07-20T20:36:00.036+09:002016-07-20T20:36:00.036+09:00Sure - here is their link - http://www.npt.co.jp/m...Sure - here is their link - http://www.npt.co.jp/m-sports/<br /><br />They are in section of Tokyo called "Sakura-Shinmachi."<br /><br />About a 10 minute walk from the local subway station, too!<br /><br />Hope this is useful.<br /><br />AkiAkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13586596582322556131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026458778495935571.post-66901803611313735362016-07-20T17:05:47.812+09:002016-07-20T17:05:47.812+09:00Aki, may i know the exact location for nissan prin...Aki, may i know the exact location for nissan prince?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04311588476552917441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026458778495935571.post-53533890832523634482016-05-22T05:44:38.291+09:002016-05-22T05:44:38.291+09:00Aki,

I'm working stateside on creating a few new products for the GTR since they are becoming legal for import in the states. After reading this article several times, and thinking about how hard it would be to purchase the OEM hoses, I reached out to Samco. They replied in a well welcomed response, and are revamping their hose kit for the GTRs/RB26.<br /> However, they are in need of the OEM Nissan part numbers for the hoses not currently included. I have done my best to search and find these numbers however its still a bit difficult. I wanted to ask if by chance this was something you could assist with.<br />Please feel free to email me SteveCEllis@Hotmail.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08282565026344332801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026458778495935571.post-35999730007639253222016-05-21T23:38:30.870+09:002016-05-21T23:38:30.870+09:00Hi Steve,
