Description
The Mishimoto Silicone Radiator Hose Kit (MMHOSE-DATS-70BK) is a purpose-built black silicone hose kit engineered specifically for the 1970-1973 Datsun 240Z, replacing the factory rubber hoses with a four-layer silicone construction reinforced with heat-resistant embedded fibers. Built to handle the cooling demands of that smooth inline-six, this kit swaps out aging rubber for a hose designed to hold up under both street and track driving conditions.
Rubber radiator hoses degrade over time, losing their ability to withstand heat and pressure, which can lead to swelling, cracking, or failure right when you need reliability most. Mishimoto’s silicone hose kit addresses that weak point in the cooling system by offering increased pressure tolerance and efficient heat management, rated to a maximum temperature of 330°F. Whether you’re maintaining a classic 240Z or upgrading it for spirited driving, this hose kit is a straightforward way to reinforce a critical part of your cooling setup, and it pairs well with the Mishimoto Datsun 240Z performance aluminum radiator for a more complete cooling upgrade.
