buy a new one, you can usually find a suitable fit at repco or super cheap,
and there not that expensive,

a second hand one would be a dumb idea.

Take it off the car and take it with you so they can match it.

Otherwise repco should be able to find one if you give them your chassis number

tried local supercheaps and repco and the couldnt find the hose, pretty useless guys just looked in some book. is there anywhere I can order them online?

i think its 36 or 38mm,
but like dave said, take the old one with you,
and measure the fitting on the radiator befor you go.

keep in mind its a ec5w but not all ec5w are vr4's so the hose is different dependent on what motor it has,
so note down your complete chassis number. if you want an exact part.

if they dont have the exact one, look through there universal selection, theres normally something in there that can be made to fit with some trimming.
