Hi im gaving a problem with my 280zx turbo 83´! I just changed my oil cooler ( smashed it while hitting a rock:-( ) And now I just cant seem to get the rubber oil hoses to stop from leaking! Anyone had the same problem? Maybe the hoses are to old and the rubber cant seal enough? If that´s the case, were can I buy new oilcooler hoses? What is the oilcapacity of an 280zx turbo 83 (can´t get the datas on the Web been seeking everywere! )
Thanks in advance
Dan from Denmark!

 

Aeroquip supplies can be had at most airport supply warehouses.
many speed shops carry that stuff as well..

They are not just rubber hoses.. they are steel lined I believe.

 

Hi Spudz yeah I actually live in Denmark( born and raised) as a Dane ! But not for so much longer I can tell you That! The main reason why Im leaving 50% taxes+ I love cars and bikes and hot climate!
About the industrial supply places sounds like a good maybe even cheap idea! I know some places here in Copenhagen thanks for the advice!

Monk, as the Spud said, get thee to an industrial hose supply place, someplace that deals in hydraulic lines. I just had a pair fabbed for my 260Z A/T cooler hoses - the replacement Datsun lines were almost USD$80.00 each side. The re-man'd ones were under USD$8.00 each. The fittings are BPT metric, but the taper of the nipples are unique, so they had to re-use the hardpoints and seal to fresh rubber hoses.
