GeneralDisorder Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Ok - I've got this weird radiator in my sedan - instead of the lower hose tube comming off the radiator at an upwards angle this one comes straight off. It's got a hose now that I want to replace, and I need a part number for something that will work. I've never seen one like this - it's probably an aftermarket radiator, but there's the hose - and it works just peachy, but without a part number for a hose like this I'm stuck if I blow it. And this one is old: GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daeron Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 GD: try an upper radiator hose for an EA82. I specify because you didnt.. I went out and looked at my sedan, and have the radiator fitting pointing upwards.. but looked at it, and recalled that _I_ had to cut about 1" or more of length off my upper hose when I got it.. (still haven't figured that one out, all other clearances are proper and this car has NEVER been wrnecked.. not THAT bad.. i figure manufacturer error?) So, it looks like about the right shape and size.. especially if you have the extra bit of length I encountered. If you try it, and find you need the length of my "flawed" hose, i can go back to the store and find exact manufacturer/part #. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 hhhhmmm - I've looked at them, but the upper doesn't have enough "S" to it - this thing needs to almost double back on itself. It's weird. Maybe this is like an XT hose or something? I'm confused. I ended up with this radiator from a parts car..... GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralDisorder Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 i belive EA81's had that kinda hose, mabye try one of thier lower hoses No - the EA81 hose rotates 90 degress, and is shorter. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daeron Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 not sure of the diameter, but I can go take the cover off the Zcar and see.. does this look like it would go from point A, to point B? If so, I will step outside and check the diameter. its the upper hose (cut-to-fit) from a 75 datsun 280Z. I will reply with proper part #s and a link, but its the first upper rad hose listed on thepartsbin.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 No - it's got to be a full "S" shape like this: __ |__ __| Hope that de-cofuseicates the shape a bit GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 Ok - I found it. After surfing around on thepartsbin, it's listed as a lower hose for 11/1990 and up Loyale's: Incidentally (and another reason I need a source), this is the same hose you need to hook an EA82 up to an EA81 radiator. SOA part number: 45162GA020 http://oem.thepartsbin.com/parts/thepartsbin/quote.jsp?make=SU&year=1990&product=G2000-31415&application=000236543&part=Radiator%20Hose&category=All&dp=true GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
