I've used RB25 sized hoses every time, either it be samco or generic rubber ones.

RB20 is smaller and I've used a cut up KA radiator hoses any without problems.

do they make them specific for the swap now or do you get just stock gts-t skyline hoses?

slightly modified (as in cut to fit) GTST ones work just fine.

I carry Samco hoses btw.

Or you can hit up your local parts store and get hoses that make a similar fit then cut to suit.

Either way, you should be good to go.
