haha sorry... i keep thinking the only import bluebird is the u13
anyways an update on the situation. thanks to jimmy, i got a bottom hose from a bluebird with the sr20de engine. i didnt look at the pulsars, but im sure the length wouldnt be correct as they have different radiators.
the hose i got is the correct length but the bends are all in the opposite direction. but it still fit alright. ill get some pics when i put on the original one ive ordered from japan (at a cost of $80) ....
to add to my absolute frustration i had found the cause of the blown hose. my thermostat housing was corroded VERY badly. and as a result a small hole bout 1mm had been eating away at the hose. so i had to do a dodgy mend job by filling it up with some gasket sealant and put the hose clamp over the hole.
ordered a thermostat housing (available locally) for $80
which was the same as the gtir and i ordered a new thermostat (local as well and the same as ANY sr20det engine) to replace the old one while it was exposed at a cost of $30.
any of you who are doing a radiator flush, check your thermostat housing by taking the hose off. i couldnt believe how bad the condition was.
