Z1 Silicone Radiator Hose (RED, BLUE, or BLACK)
 

We are proud to announce the release of our Z1 Silicone Radiator Hose Set for the 370Z.

After much product development, we now have a complete Silicone Radiator Hose set that fits just like OEM at a fraction of the cost.

Hose sets are available in three colors: RED, BLUE and BLACK.

Z1 Silicone Radiator Hose Set

These hoses will fit all VQ37VHR equipped cars. As well as the older G35's equipped with the VQ35HR engines.

Prices...? Anyone care to do a DIY?

The DIY on this would be too trivial to bother posting. It's like, remove 4 hose clamps, replace two hoses, tighten 4 hose clamps, done. Removing the undertray to reach the lower hose (much like you do for an oil change) would be more challenging than the hose swap itself. Probably the trickiest aspect will be draining and refilling your radiator fluid without making a mess.

Thank you sir...I didnt catch that I did that.

I think it is weird that in the system they still call the older G's with the VQ35HR a V36 chassis code vs the older V35 designation. I can see that and the '09 350Z convertibles getting confusing later on down the road.

Thats what I was referring to... I wouldn't know how to go about doing that properly. I can understand a hose swap lol. I just dont wanna make a mess of things...

The service manual is available in PDF on this forum, in the subforum about service manuals and such. The procedure for draining and filling the engine coolant starts around page 7 of CO.pdf (which is the Engine Cooling section). It's not hard :)

You can just reuse the old fluid correct? Or is that the time to upgrade to... better fluid?

Radiator fluid is cheap anyways, it would be prudent to refill with fresh stuff. Besides, I see you're in AZ.. does it get very cold there? If you can get away with the loss of freeze protection, you can up the water in your mix from the stock 50/50 something that helps cool the engine better. For instance, 70/30 water/antifreeze will still protect you from freezing down to about 10F, and will cool the engine better than a 50/50 mix (which freezes way way below zero). Be sure to use the Nissan-brand coolant and Distilled Water.

lol If it got to 10*F here, I literally think half the population would simply freeze to death...

I have alot of stuff I wanna do, just myself and all, my expertise isn't in the engine bay aside from bolt ons. So my thing is I'd like to have someone more knowlegeable around to assist and teach me the stuff (like this) I'm not full up on. I'd have no prob being the student and compensating the teacher lol. As long as they don't mind the searing heat. Of course, for me... Going somewhere else where it's cooler is my best plan.

hell i make 1200 a day she is not doing it right

Thank you sir. :tiphat:

Just got mine yesterday! Ya'll will never guess which color I went with!! :roflpuke2:

The manual only says to take it into the dealer?! WTF?! where do I get the Nissan coolant from? I was looking to finish off swapping my hoses but cant find the directions on changing the coolant… I've swapped hoses in my G35 before without any issue but kinda wanted at least some guidance while doing the 370z…i've searched but it seems no one has done a DIY on this...

is the air bleeder valve the green cap near the fire wall? I noticed everyone has a tab with some writing on theres but mine doesn't have the tab on it...
you can see the green cap that i am referring to in the top left area of this photo

as you can see I just need to do the throttle body hoses & the upper/lower/overflow hoses… which by the way are all coming from Z1
and guidance is GREATLY APPRECIATED

Hi the green cap you are looking at it a service test port for your evaporative emissions, don't mess with it.

If you need help with the install just give us a call, since there is currently no write up on the topic I would be happy to walk you through it.

my extension is 320

Hey SpencerZ1! I just ordered another 6feet of your hoses along with the upper and lower radiator hoses :tup: I would greatly appreciate your help while taking on this task of draining and refilling the coolant during the hose swap! Thank you for offering to help guide me through this :tup: I will give you a call soon... I was also wondering if your company sells the coolant for the 370z?
So far, everytime I've asked for a part not offered on your website (such as the extra hose lines, etc. ) you guys actually end up having it:tup::tup::tup:
so I was just wondering if you carried the actual nissan coolant and if it was for sale?

Hi CERBERUSlucid,

It's no problem, and we keep the coolant in stock.

It's just one of those things that hasn't quite made it to the website yet.

If you ever need anything and can't find it online, please feel free to call us.
We keep a massive inventory of O.E.M. and aftermarket parts.

THANK YOU Z1 MOTORSPORTS! and a BIG thankx to spencer@Z1 for sharing your knowledge during the process!!! The project is complete! with Zero issues =) Couldn't be happier =)

:tup::tup::tup:
GREAT PRODUCT Z1
and thank you Spencer@Z1 for your knowledge!!!
