Non NI$$AN parts 'fix ups'

[DEVILsEXA]

Please add to this thread if you have made a repair using non nissan parts for a reason of them being cheaper (inc prices) or just for availability.

I had to replace that little S bend hose at the back of the engine today (cause of most coolant leaks),
I ended up getting one from 'Auto Pro" it was one to suit an '88 Ford Meteor Laser which cost $12.95.
It was WAY tooo long but cut off either end and it's exactly tha same as tha one it's replacing!
NI$$AN wanted $26.95 for this hose!!!

Please add to this thread but only add informative posts NOT ones asking stuff OK!!! THANX

btw GTS20TEXA can u make this a sticky thread

I was quoted $150 for 3 hoses fitted, thats about $50 each and nix for fitting from nissan, I went to super cheap and bought a hose for a different car, with the bends nearly the same as I needed and fitted them, I used some hose clamps on one bend to help stop the hose from kinking. Total cost was $18.

Thats all I have to add..
