Earlier this year when I fixed my AC vents I ended up cutting a lot of the coolant hoses leading to the heater core. I bought new ones from nissanpartsdeal.com for quite the price, I recall one of the tubes being around $50. Is there a reason to stick with the parts fiche on this and not simply go with generic tubing that is rated for the application I'm using it for?
For example, in the parts fiche below, the air regulator hose 14060B costs $12 (which isn't awful) but I'm willing to bet that I can find some tubing that will do the same job for less. Same for things like the turbo oil return tube, the some of the coolant lines leading around the rear of the engine, etc.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
