You can dispute anything.

Ha I figured out the real hard way. I honestly had no idea that coolant was running through them I thought it was just air like an idiot. So I pulled off the clamps on one and started tugging on the hose and it wouldn't come off so I took a razor blade to it and coolant started leaking everywhere so I was like ***. Zip tied it back together and drove to work with a lil smoke coming out but my temp gauge was fine. BUT, on the way home from work my temp gauge shot up and down and had to pull over b4 it overheated. Luckily 2 technicians at work live down the street from me and brought me coolant and then I made it home.

So for a DIY u gotta pull the stock hoses off and be ready for the coolant to go everywhere and drain out. Put the new ones on and make sure to get screw clamps Bc the silicone hoses are thicker then OEM and they didn't come with my mishimoto kit but they might come with samcos kit. Then refill the coolant with half water (distilled preferably) and half coolant. Run the car and bleed the system of air (u know it's done when u blow hot air in the cabin and it eventually warms up- it will be cool at first) then spray down the engine bay. Also u gotta unscrew the radiator fan and pull it up a bit as well as taking out the coolant overflow bottle to get to the bottom hose.

Moral of the story, it's kind of a big job.

Put in my tokico shocks and eibach 350z spring.. It's sitting right where i want it too.. Might swap out the rear spring mount for an unmodded one next week when I do alignment, gotta see where the springs settle.. Going to do my front brakes and rotors in a bit whenever my buddy gets to his house, I'm waiting on his step like a retard.. haha
