Does anyone have photos of their brace installed and how they routed the fuel line and throttle cable (or is it cruise control cable) so they don't clash with the brace? ATM the throttle cable lies on top of the brace and under the bonnet if that makes sense. Thank you.
Maybe get some longer hose and run it around the front and underneath the bar. You could sit it neat in the indentation and cable tie it so it doesn't move.
Eric, both of those hoses fit into the grooves as bRACKET has mentioned. It appears your hoses are not OEM & are too short. No problems encountered with the standard length hoses, even with the protective covers fitted, which will make them slightly larger in outside diameter, compared to your existing hose.
Ah ok. I think mine were replaced when we did the plenum pull or 100k service. I put that yellow strap there so the bar doesn't "cut" into the hose. Ill get a standard length one and fit that.
You don't buy a Nissan hose dude, just go to the auto store and but a metre of fuel hose and cut to whatever length you need.
Actually that's the wrong hose and potentially dangerous. Go buy 3m of EFI hose and change any that you can get to...
It says fuel hose on it though but ill take your advise and get some longer hose anyway. So are you guys saying the hose coming out of the filter sits in the left groove, goes under the bar and up to the connection and the other fuel hose sits in the right one?
theres fuel hose, then theres efi fuel hose. and efi injection system runs much higher pressure, so a efi hose has a layer of cloth inside it to prevent swelling and potential bursting. the other type of fuel hose is for carburetor powered cars
It does, but like many automotive products there are different types of fuel hose. The hose you have is low pressure fuel hose, I can tell because if has 30R6 on it. For a fuel injected application (like Z32) you need high pressure fuel hose. Depending on what your local store carries you want Dayco 30R9, Goodyear 30R9, or Gates barrier hose.
Actually that is 12 bar hose so it is high pressure efi. If you're getting new hose though, get the ethanol friendly version, Repco has the Gates variety, has green writing on it from memory. Just ask for high pressure EFI fuel hose compatible with ethanol E85 fuels.
Thanks Shane. For info sake, is the ethanol hose more resistant to breakdown? What's the advantage of getting this when I won't be running E85?
Sorry Rob, I have no idea what 30R9 is, all I was pointing out was that the hose he currently has is high pressure EFI hose. 12 bar = approx. 180psi. Ed, the ethanol friendly stuff is not just for E85, e10 also. Cost is probably the same so better to go with this if getting new hose anyway.
