How Many Hoses?

[toddl1]

You might have a small problem with an NA8 engine in an NA6. The NA8 set uses 2 pieces with a section of alloy pipe between them to get from the bottom of the radiator to the pump inlet. The NA6 uses one long convoluted hose along the same path. I'd suggest getting the NA8 set and finding or improvising that joiner. If you get the NA6 set then I think you'll have the wrong top hose. Can someone confirm that?

NA6s have alloy pipe joining the bottom hose to the block, or atleast mine does.

Bursons are a chain of automotive business- similar to Repco but more parts orientated. and they supply a lot of items to the trade ie mechanics. There price on oil is sometimes exxy but they have more expertise with parts. Its normal practise to check a few sources at least for items that can be pricey.

I'd certainly recommend changing the hoses if your car is getting on. The thing with hoses is that they wear from the inside out - so a hose that look healthy on the outside can be just on the failure point on the inside.
Best case scenario if a hose bursts on long drive / track is that you don't do any engine damage and have to get a tow home or manage to cobble something together from a nearby hose shop, worst case scenario is that you end up cooking your engine and need a new head gasket etc. All for the price of a set of hoses. Just change them if your car is getting on, it's piece of mind too.
