There's 2 kits, one does the rear water hoses (about 7 of them), other does ps and oil cooler I think (about 4 hoses)

no,

then you still wont have them all, as youve got fuel hoses, vacuum hoses and breather hoses!! the list is endless!

the 4 piece kit is crap, it does the two pipes which does the heater matrix below the plenium which is actually 3 pipes because there is a join in one of them but you only get 2 of the 3 you need, then you get two little pipes which i havent found where they go yet but i will look at the power steering pipes as i didnt think about them before.

vss irvine - i know it wont cover all the other hoses but ive got a mate who owns a tuning garage who has got reels of different size hoses which i will be getting off him for the fuel, vac an breather, but im just wondering is it worth buying the ancillary kits or see him for them

The 2 hoses (right angles?) are the oil cooler hoses. Hard to see, but it's mounted on the oil filter housing at the back of the engine.

I think the 3rd hose is in with the other 7. As you can see it's shown on Jap fast with the other rears but not European FAST. So it got put in with those (my fault as I told Odin he'd missed one of the hoses)

make sure you get the proper stuff, you need oil resistant for the breathers because if you use vacuum hose it will soon discolour and start to harden up. and obviously fuel resistant for the petrol or it will perish quickly!

most of the coolant hoses are at least 2 ply, so they come in straight lengths, not on reels.

So i now need to buy the set of 7 great.

You could always use standard Nissan hoses, after all if they lasted 12-14years the first time round, they might outlast the car this time round.
