JurassicZ Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Just got round to fitting mine. Can anyone advise where the thin 12mm hose goes? I had expected it to replace the rad to reservoir bottle, but my original is straight and this one has a few bends in it. Thanks Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I think it is meant to go from the radiator overflow to the reservoir bottle but I'm wondering if the kit is meant for the G35 rather than the 350Z specifically. If you look at the picture below of a G35 engine bay the pipe for the reservoir overflow looks very similar to the ones I've seen in the Venair kit. I guess you could always buy a straight piece of silicone pipe to fit the reservoir and sell on the Venair pipe you have. Might be of use to someone.

JurassicZ Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 Thanks, yes it was my thought that the only place the small dia. hose can go is from the rad to the overflow bottle, but it looks nothing like the OEM hose, so must be from another model. Not good when they are advertised as for the 350Z! Anyone else bought these and had the same issue, where did you get a 12mm silicon hose from to replace this?

Cheers Rob You can get a decent enough silicone hose for what you want from eBay Rob. Like this: http://www.ebay.co.u...=item51bed4b060 I've bought some ASH silicone hose products for my car and it's very good value. Edit: This is probably more suitable: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Silicone-Hose-1-Metre-Pipe-Tube-Silicon-Air-Water-Coolant-Radiator-Reinforced-/190884910974?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=&hash=item2c71a0977e Edited June 9, 2015 by GMballistic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
