Coolant hose replacement from firewall to bleeder port..
Hey .. just a question in case anyone has been there and done this. I picked up a coolant bleeder port for my G35 coupe from Z1 since the original was stripped out and I think the coolant system had some air in it. Well in doing so I snipped the hose at the bleeder port since I thought you could do that to get the older bleeder port out. Maybe not as it seems tthe hose is to short now to make a firm connection. Am I correct in that? If so, has anyone been successful in just buying the hose that runs from the bleeder port to the firewall and replacing it? Is there a patch I could do? Its a Friday evening and I hate to order all three hoses since I only need the one and I hate to be with no car until late next week as I wait for delivery since nobody would even ship until Monday at earliest. Am I screwed or is there a work around I guess is what I am asking...

I will update this as I spent a couple hours tonight looking around. It appears part number 92402-AL500 is what one needs. Conceptz carries it. I am going to see if the local dealership has any in stock since the car cant be used until this is fixed. Stay away from any hacks...... I see some using connectors and such. Just buy a new hose.

I'd be surprised if you local dealership had it in stock but Nissan can usually get things VERY quickly depending on your area.
You could also just use a barbed coupling and add a new section of hose temporarily. Any local auto parts house should have the correct hose and Home Depot/Lowes will sell a barbed coupling.

Thanks... well, you certainly know your stuff! A call to the local dealership says nope! Can have it by Tuesday though. (figure I will just order it through conceptz since its easier) Thanks for the ideas too. With the lawn sprinkler system I am sure between the funny hose and regular hose and fittings in the shed I could piece together something temporary if its worth it/ needed to. Thanks again, you were spot on as usual...
