Hi All,
Just picked myself up off the floor after reading the quote to replace some hoses on the patrol. Anyone know of somewhere that has after market hoses to suit at a reasonable price? We are in Tas but Im sure it would actually be cheaper to get them freighted!
Thanks :-)

Rocker cover breather hose, any oil Hose will do
Power steering I would go to a place like Pertec or Enzed or a Automotive suppler and get the appropriate type of hose, Being Power steering I am guessing they have a fitting crimped to the hose ends thus why they are probably on the $$ side.

Tried a couple of local
places but they say they have to get them from Nissan! Will keep trying though.

Quite often it can be cheaper to get a hydrolic mob, such as enzed to make the steering hoses up.
Was on my 80 anyway. But I took the hoses into them, I was heaps dearer to call them out.

Very good, genuine parts, fast service. I saved over $220 on a turbo and gaskets, $80 on a rear tailight assembly.
Well worth an email with a list of what you want.
Mick.
