anyone know if the Z heater hoses in the engine bay match the Hako hoses? i want to get some silcone hoses, but i can find theses two hoses in silicone on the auctions in japan. i have the two main rad hoses in silicone, but the other hoses on my engine are kevlar braided, and i hate them..look SOooo dated and they collect so much dirt.

it's been soooo long since i had a heather in the Z that i honestly don't remember what the hoses looked like... i even filled in the holes in the firewall where the heater hoses went through... looking at internet pics though, it seems like it's more of a straight shot from the engine back through the firewall to the heather core... the hako's heater hose goes around the back of the engine and enters through the firewall practically on the header side of the engine...

you could get universal silicone hose in straight and 90degree pieces in the right diameter and make your own setup if you really wanted to ditch the stock rubber hose...

Hey kevin

I seem to remember from your build thread that when you removed your heater core out of the equation, you got some allen head pipe plugs to seal the outlets at the front cover fitting and at the back of the cylinder head... I don't think you ran a short section of hose with a bolt and a worm drive clamp... did you?

Do you remember if they were M20 x 1.75?

The strangest thing happened last night when I was at the hardware store for some housewares... I happened to find myself in the plumbing aisle and with the front cover water fitting in my pocket... and i happed to come across a 1/2" pipe plug that LOOKED awfully similar for thread pitch and diameter...

Lo and behold it threaded up just fine...
soo strange.... will pressure test out of curiosity over the weekend to see if it's something i'd consider using on the engine...

Hey E,
in your conversation with Kev,

is that the plug on the side right above the dizzy? i used a big ass bolt with teflon on mine, but i hate it. i know here in Japan the auctions have thermo housings that have a removable plug in it, i may buy one of those eventually.

on the subject of my hoses, i may just order some silicone, or i may suck it up and just replace with new rubber for the time being.

Hey Tim

I was referring to the water fitting at back of the cylinder head on driver side of engine, and water fitting on front cover also on driver side of engine ( the smaller pipe that goes to heater on front cover fitting is threaded into the fitting - therefore its removable)...

I originally looped a pipe from the back of the head to the water pump inlet, but there is a school of thought that says that will re-route hot water back into the water pump, and that ain't good.

So I blocked them off with these brass plugs, but IIRC they weren't a normal thread, they were a BSP or tapered pipe-thread that i got from a hydraulic parts store.

Can anyone confirm if the hakosuka door handles are the same as 510 and Z also window crank?
Thanks jgonzo911

ericbauer · **Posted:** Mon Nov 05, 2012 8:29 am

AFAIK door handles for hako and Z ARE NOT the same
A Z window crank will work - but if you're looking for an exact match it is NOT THE SAME
