radiator hose help

[Adrian gt]

I don't have any radiator hoses for my RBswap and it's pretty much the only thing holding me back. does anyone know where i could get a RB lower radiator hose fast? would a SR one work? anyone got a samco set or something?

Dont hold me to it but it seems like I used my stock KA hose.

[Adrian gt]

can anyone confirm this?

[s14_sport]

just use alittle imagination. I think I used my stock one. but i know for one of my hoses i just measured the openings and found something over at pep boys that looked like the right angle to fit.

I would never pay 70$ for a hose, Heck I wouldnt pay over 25$ Thats just dumb!!!!!

women will buy something they don't need because it's on sale. men will buy something they need even if it's over priced

Autozone..

Has the big opening up top, smaller at the bottom, and has the coil on the inside making it flexible without collapsing.

Thanks for this info.. You could have saved yourself like 3 posts if you would have just put this into your first reply! LOL.. I'm needing hoses soon also and appreciate you putting these details.

I was under the impression we could use/modify Z32 hoses? Any other replies would be helpful...

[bumblebtuna]

^^yes you can!! z32 rad hose ftw!

well i finally found a Z32 TT hose. pepboys had it no less then i found a 34mm greddy temp sensor adapter i'm going to use to clock the hose, also i can use it for water temp gauge which i need to find soon so i can set a warning temp on it to go off if i start over heating because i will run the KA radiator for a short time

[DriftX]

the 300zx hose is perfect. You need an adapter, i think 1.5in, clock it and trim about 5 inches off. But by being able to cut it, it's easy to make more room around the alt, and intercooler piping if need be. Also plenty of room to encorporate a coolant temp sensor probe in the line somewhere.

yup
