Samco Hoses Galore!

Ok So I was doing some research into getting some replacement hoses as these bad boys in my car are 20 years old. Anyway, I have the Samco Rad hoses in my car and they are awesome so I thought I would use Samco. Looking at the Samco website, and the stuff for the R32 GTR:

http://www.samcosport.com/usa/car_kits.asp?make=Nissan

They have:
1) Turbo Hose Kit, Part #TCS99, 2 Pieces
2) Coolant Hose Kit, Part #TCS37/C, 2 Pieces (I believe I have this)
3) Heater Hose Kit, Part #TCS37/H, 4 Pieces
4) Turbo Hose Kit, Part #TCS37, 4 Pieces
5) Breather Hose Kit, Part #TCS295/B, 3 Pieces

And to top it all off, I found an Engine hose kit:

(2nd one in link for $299) Seems to be made by JJR, but no website and I cannot click on the link...

Ok so, Iam not interested in Turbo hose kits but I am interested in the heater hose kit for sure. BUT does anyone have any information on what the breather hose kit is? Possibly to replace the intake piping??

Also, what is the engine hose kit? Anyone have it? Possible replacement of all vacuum lines??

i found sets like this on ebay:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Silic...Q5fAccessories
made by autobahn.. maybe the 299 one is better quality? says its 4 ply, not sure how thick the autobahn one is.

PS, none of the RB26 hoses will work w/ RB20 set up. Been there, checked it out, almost got the t-shirt.

Just get new heater hoses from Lordco or NAPA. Will last another 10 years easy and won't cost something stupid like 300. I got all mine for about 25 bux for high quality heater hoses and clamps.

Going to Lordco, buying lots of heater hose and cutting to fit = 25 dollars.
Saving hundreds of dollars = Priceless.

I am the least mechanically inclined person in existence, pull the intake manifold off and all the hoses are right there, even someone as useless with a wrench as me could do it.

i went through 3 sets of silicone hoses in my audi in less than 2 months. In my personal opinion I would stick with the oem as i ended up doing that anyways. They weren't a cheap set either. i cant remember wat they cost but they were around the 400-450 mark. The hoses were leaking out the split ends. my summer audi's water temp 10-20 degrees hotter than my winter audi at the same ambient temp. This is due to the bigger turbo on it. I cant said for but the hoses may have leaked just because of this fact that the under hood temps were a lot higher.
