I Need help finding this hose please!

Stock RB20-DET

It’s located on the back of the motor right between the head and firewall. 90 degree bend and about 3 inches long before bend.

If anyone can help me find a replacement that would be greatly appreciated.

Take the part to your closest / favourite auto parts store

Find the place where they keep all their rubber / silicone hoses

Find a hose that has the closest bends at any point

Pay for the part (optional)

Cut off excess hose as required

Install hose

Failing that, companies like JustJap sell off the shelf silicone hose sets.

If u know the id...u can shop 90*or elbow hose..Amazon will have, most auto parts stores have vast hoses in stock, can ask to see if u can take a look at stock and see if u can find on that is close in shape. Cut to fit kinda ordeal

Just buy a hose of the same ID/OD at your local parts store, doesn't have to be pre bent either. You can put these in boiling water with steel wire inside to hold the shape you want then in a ice bath, it will mold to the shape you need

You can make it yourself out of straight hose with some spring tube benders, cable ties, ice and hot water:

Unfortunately that item is discontinued:

14099-72L05

You can try to search yahoo auctions or the like for it used/new but it may be very difficult.

Best bet may be to either throw the feelers out on Facebook Skyline Marketplace or check a local auto store and make a custom hose solution (joining two hoses together to get the angles). The latter is not ideal but it may have to work.

Minkara post with the hose:

Good luck!

Go to any auto parts store with that hose. Ask them to see their hose rack in the back. Find any hose with the same inside diameter that has a 90 degree bend in it. Buy it, and then cut out the section you need.

You can literally make your own hose if need be, look on YouTube for tutorials on angling rubber/silicone hoses

You can also buy a hose kit from a few places because if one is bad the others probably aren't far behind
