In a box in my garage, that is prominently marked with the Z1 logo, resides the upper and lower radiator hoses as well as two overflow hoses -- in the far-out, groovy red silicone. I will get around to installing these in a couple of weeks (240z work is on my plate this weekend).

I have a question for you, Mr. ZMan8 -- are you performing a radiator flush at the same time as you replace the hoses? I am curious. I am going to replace the coolant when I do mine.

On the topic of flushing the radiator it's not necessary you can just drain the fluid when you do the lower hose and refill after your done. Unless you have a lot of miles then yeah go ahead and get it flushed while your at it.

careful with the red hoses guys... iv heard they fade fairly quickly and turn orangy / pink. I wanted a pair for myself until I read that :(

Terrible one I heard that too somewhere, but I spent a total of $42 for 3 red hoses so it's no big deal for me. If they fade, back to stock it goes.

Do you wear contacts? I do, which I know make allergies even worse. I think lasik would help if anything since you no longer have a pollen filled contact in your eye!

Mr. Kenchan I have the 2 PCV hoses and a brake booster. I may do post MAF down the road but probably not red because there would be too much then. I might follow Onzedge on the radiator one though. :tup:

Hi guys. Sorry for the rant yesterday. Appreciate the words of encouragement :ugh2: Kenman the issues are at the hospital not with the fire department. We have a great chief at the fire department and it is very easy being an assistant chief with him. As for my Z I have an appointment at 1030 am today. Just regular service have just under 4000 miles on the car. :eekdance:
