UPDATE: SAMCO Silicon Coolant Hoses

vendor #1 Says they are an exact fit. No pricing provided yet.

vendor #2 says that they fit, no problem - but.....

<blockquote><font class="small">In reply to:</font><hr>

As for the trimming I don't have much information. I was simply made aware of the situation by a customer who happened to purchase these and mentioned it after he received them. I did not get the impression that it was of major concern. It's better to have too much than not enough.

The MSRP on that kit is $160.79 We could do them for $130.00 if you could get 12 or more people. 20 or over we could do $115.00.

<hr></blockquote>

So let's consider $115 to be price point or better (if vendor #1 comes back with better pricing). It could take a few weeks once we get them ordered, as they are not stocked. Let me know if you are interested and the color (blue or optional black, red, green, purple, bright yellow and orange)

Re: UPDATE: SAMCO Silicon Coolant Hoses

there's a long post below this one from Unorthodox... but in essence this lightens the load on your crank and other accessory pulley, returning power to your crank.

Re: UPDATE: SAMCO Silicon Coolant Hoses

There are several manufacturers of high quality/performance aftermarket hose kits. In general, these hose kits are stronger & more rigid than OEM hose kits which makes them less prone to bursting (or collapsing!) under high temp & coolant system pressure. (it also has the aesthetic advantage -color- over stock).

FROM SAMCO WEBSITE (http://www.samcosport.com/kits.asp): "The Samco Sport hose kits are designed to replace original equipment in a wide range of performance vehicles, both in motorsport and fast road use. Superb integrity and superior performance reduces the risk of component failure and enables higher temperatures and pressures to be maintained with complete confidence."

Re: UPDATE: SAMCO Silicon Coolant Hoses

Ted,

Looks like this post is getting lost in the crowd. Can you change title to "Group Buy...."? Also, when Omi posted he deleted NuttyProf. I believe the latest is:

Group Buy-SAMCO Silicon Coolant Hoses

<font color=red>
THIS GROUP BUY HAS CLOSED. SORRY THAT YOU MISSED OUT ON THE FUN.
</font color=red>

traded some emails with some vendors looking to see of the Samco Silicon coolant hoses for the 350z will fit our G's.

I got a few bites, but only one said that it would fit with one hose having to be cut (no specifics.) If I run this down, anybody interested in a group buy?



Samco TCS216/C 350Z Z33/VQ35 08/2002~ (4)

Cheers, ted
