The silicone line is probably supposed to be connected to the steel tube. The steel tube will pop out on the other side of the timing cover and is probably connected to the charcoal canister, as Meap said.

But, given that the plugged line is silicone, therefore not stock, it would be impossible for anyone to be categorical about what it is. You will need to follow it to the other end, and then compare it with the vacuum hose diagram from the workshop manual.

Hey many thanks for the comments the one with the blue silicon and the Cap head bolt in it i believe from some searching to be another Vacuum point for the Fuel pressure reg ( standard) i have aftermarket with different routing .. it would be the First pic pipe to no where i am confused about now :)

That port with the bolt stuck in it is the port that the charcoal canister uses as a vacuum signal. I don't believe it is used to purge as there's another hose that is common to all cylinders rather than just the first two. As others have said it goes to that metal pipe which looks like someone has put it the wrong way. You can see the intended routing in this picture from when I tore the intake manifold apart:

Personally I do not understand why people delete charcoal canisters on these cars when it is purely to one's benefit to not have raw gasoline venting into the engine bay and into the garage. Higher octane components evaporate first and leaving the gas tank open to atmosphere invites corrosion and moisture especially in the US where almost all gasoline has 10% ethanol in it.

Hey Cheers for the responses yeah looks like the pipe is pointing to the side rather than up .. but the Pipe on the First throttle body is being used for the Sard FPR .. guess will just will put a pipe over this one .. 

The front of the balance tube is the correct port to use for the fuel pressure regulator. It should only go to the FPR and nothing else. 

BTW, not sure if you were already aware, but an incorrectly installed vacuum tube almost certainly means your engine has been out and probably rebuilt at some stage (potentially head only). You can't get at that pipe without moving the front timing cover, timing gears and rear timing cover too which you would never bother doing for something like a timing belt change.

    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
