pipe between the firewall and engine? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I was looking at my engine today in search for any vacume leaks. I notice this skinny pipe between the firewall and engine block. It looks like an upsidown n right behind the engine. I also notice the it has no cap or hose attached to it. Does anyone know what's the pipe for? Is it a vacume line that needs to be caped?

if its rubber its probably the Condensation drain pipe for the A/C condenser

dont worry about it

EDIT: OR you could be talking about the Tranny Breather Line (has an orange/redish tube on it) leave that alone too

if its metal you could be talking about the EGR? that should connect to your header / turbo manifold.... or be capped off...

No. Evap line is just a hair bigger than the brake lines and runs with them up top across the cowl.
