retro_al Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Okay so I have been fitting lots of mishimoto parts, the alloy rad and shroud kit went in just fine,the oil cooler kit hoses need to be cut as they were far to long( bit of a pain as I thought it was a direct fit), now the bottom hose from the hose kit wont fit, it just fouls the AC pump ( I might even take that out at some point ) so i've had to cut the hose at the bottoma little and not push the top part of the hose fully onto the thermostat, do you guys think this will be okay?

Stutopia Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 If it's sold as a 350 kit, get on to Mishi and demand a hose that fits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retro_al Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 Trouble is I have cut this one now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Oops. Best buy a new one then. No way I'd be happy with that, if it pops off you're going to lose the contents very quickly then bye-bye engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly350z Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 As Ekona says, Id not trust that at all. All thats waiting to happen is a rise in pressure and thats going to dump the contents quicker then a case of ghandis revenge after a vindaloo. If its that tight that you've had to splice it then id say youve been supplied the wrong hose 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 When I was having my supercharger fitted by Horsham they had trouble with one of the Mishimoto hoses which had to fit behind the s/c plate (not sure if it's the same hose as you?!). In the end I told them I was happy enough not to have it fitted but I kept the pipe. It's at my parents so I could maybe have a look tomorrow if it's the same one and then if so you can have it if you want it for the price of postage, ...it is red though & not black. Just let me know & I'll take a look at theirs tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payco Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Been there,seen it done it with Mishimoto hoses that aren't compatible with the 350z even tho they say they are.As Ekona has said don't even think about leaving it like that.Get a better fitting hose.
