I am currently trying to purchase the SAMCO radiator hose kit for my 2008 G35 sedan. I've been contacting various vendors for this part but some are recommending the part# TCS339/C (3 hose kit) which is meant for the v35 platform and some are advising to purchase TCS403/C (4 hose kit) which is meant for the G37's.

I know that there are quite of few of guys out there running this Samco kit. Can someone confirm the correct part number for the v36 sedans specifically the 07-09 sedans? I just want to make sure that I am purchasing the correct part for my car.

Thanks in advance!

4 hose TCS403/C

 

I hope you post pix once you get it on the car. Want to see how it looks. What color you plan on getting?

 

Thanks!

Ordered me the blue ones to match my Greddy Oil Cap / Radiator Cap.

 

4 hose! Although I'm not using the lower main one. lol

When I ordered mine through Forged, they sent me the wrong one (3 hose V35 ones), but they took care of me right away by cross shipping the correct ones!

Can't wait to see your engine bay, Jason!

 

Yeah, I was pretty sure it was the 4 hose kit. My engine bay will never get the attention like yours but I guess this is a start for mine.

 

I'm wanting the same thing as my oem one is allowing small leaks to drip. PICS anyone?

 

Just installed mine today.



CUSCO STB was also new this week.

 

hows the quality and fit of the Cusco bar?

also, i assume you flushed out for installing the Samco?

 

The CUSCO bar fits perfect and the welds are excellent. The polished aluminum is mirror like. I drained out the old factory coolant and replaced with Motul Inugel Expert. I'm at 59k miles so this was the perfect time to do this mod as the FSM states to replace the coolant at 60k. The stock hoses were a little mushy as well.

 

@TomPeters, where'd you get your engine cover? Back to the point though, I love the hoses, especially since they're red

 

Did you also order the clamp kit from Samco or did you use some other kind?

 

Thanks guys.... below is the link to the engine cover. Yes, I ordered the Samco hose clamp kit as well.

Looking good. Just need to clean up the timing covers. Where is the other 2 hoses?

 

3 of the hoses are visible in the pics (there are two on the reservoir tank). The 4th hose is on the lower driver side and connects from the block to the bottom of the radiator. So, 2 large hoses, 2 small hoses.

Any suggestions for cleaning the timing covers? I just assumed the aluminum from the road salt permanently wore like this.
