    Hey Guys,

    Seeing as though my hoses from from intercooler pipe to my Throttle bodies are stuffed, I'm looking at getting some reducers and putting the chrome pipe in between. Just wondering where people have purchased them from?

    Thanks

    There are a few options that spring to mind. eBay, coz, Z1 etc

    There are cheaper options for silicone hoses available from ebay etc but having seen some up close recently the quality and fitment really isn't all that good.

    Thanks guys, I ended up ordering just some Blue silicone ones from Car Craze in Sydney as I was pretty desperate needing my car for work. Should have them by tomorrow :)

    Aeroflex is good stuff but probably a little pricey for the average Z32 owner...

    Well it was $99.06 for two 63mm to 51mm (i.e. 2.5" to 2") 45 deg reducers.

    Didn't realise I could get it cheaper elsewhere (was just happy to finally find what I was looking for.

    Don't think you can get aeroflex much cheaper? I buy fittings etc at motorsport connections too, the silicone you linked to is much thicker and stiffer more oil/heat tolerant than the cheap shit you get from ebay. But yeah most guys baulk at the idea of paying $100 for a pair of reducers when you can get a complete intake set off ebay for $50.

    Glad I bought the Aeroflex then. (I've never been a cheapskate with my Z and not about to start now).
