samco hoses?

Are the samco hoses the same for the G coupe as they are for the Z? I guess they show a listing for the z but not the g. I'm sure i've seen them on our cars before though...

Paging FLFIRE... Paging FLFIRE... (he has them with the 'beefy hose clamps' on his G).

The Search Function Works...

Responding to page. . . A little late.

They kit for the G and Z are the same. The only slight difference in the install is that the radiator overflow line has to be cut a little bit for the G. Here is a pic of mine which includes the Samco intake tube. In case you are interested in the Samco intake tube, it has to be cut to fit also. Very happy with the result! I would suggest Options Auto for the purchase:

The fittings are pi-thons. You can order direct from them. However, if you are using the Samco hoses, be sure to tell them. There is a difference in size with the Samco's to the stock hoses. They are reuseable as long as the hose sizes are the same. Pi-Thon web site:

I posted your GB on G35.ca to help out your numbers.

A suggestion is that you may want to consider MIKALOR clamps which are much less expensive than Pi-thons, and are competition quality, and important for Samco Hoses, silicon hose safe since many clamps will cut into the silicon.

Not everyone can afford the dress-up Pi-thons.

Some FAQ & Other Links Here. Also information here.

Hey Gordgee,

Thanks for helping me cross post. Yes, Mikalors look great, but you cannot deny that Pi-thon has that unique look to them that makes an engine bay stand out

It does come down to personal preference and cost. I for one am leaning towards Pi-thon locks, simply for the look, thus the reason for the GB.

By the way, back in 2003, your grounding wires were the very first mod I put on my car. How far things have come and so much money has been spent since then
