1) Looks like it's fine to me... Are you mistaking a problem for the foam sleeve that goes over the hose? It's makes the hose appear larger in spots.

2) Why did you post this in the CA forum?

If in doubt, go get a new upper radiator hose from your local Nissan dealership's parts dept. or any auto parts store (auto zone, advance, oreilly, car quest, etc.). It shouldn't cost you more than $20.

Also, like Cake said, you are in the wrong section. You did well choosing one of the friendliest "wrong places" to post though. Get you a CA18, stay awhile!

Wrong section but whatever, Feel the hose in that area. If its really easy to push and feels really thin then replace the hose.

If it worries you at all i would replace the hose anyways before it leaves you stranded somewhere.
