    New intercooler hoses

    Hi All. . . . can anyone recommend a supplier of intercooler hoses for a ZD30 DI? I went to Nissan on Monday and was quoted between $175 and $230 for each hose, that works out to more than half what I paid for my new Cross Country intercooler!
    Cheers
    Andrew

    Nizzbits is generally cheaper than any dealer. Or alternatively any performance shop thats sells silicone hoses to suit inter cooler setups would be the cheapest.

    X 2 with Newby and don't forget the constant pressure clamps, not cheap but better than worm drive jobs

    Either of these two are the best choices by far for any clamp
    Spring loaded T-Bolt :


    Or Constant torque :



    Once I get my but into gear i will be changing all turbo hoses to silicone and teh best clamps...
    I used to sell this chit for a living for transport and earthmoving. I'll just say to watch out for the cheap silicone elbows that are sold these days. A used dinger would be stronger. Plus most of the cheap silicone will deteriorate very quickly as oil is silicone's number 1 enemy.
