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 :)

The pipe in the first photo is somehow facing the wrong way, it’s actually supposed to face towards the throttle bodies and connect to the little pipe on the first throttle body

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.

guess will just will put a pipe over this one ..

What do you mean by this? This is an opportunity for you to put the vacuum lines on this car right. Get the manual, like I said, and make it look like it should.

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.

      There's probably an underlying issue with the A/C system too. I recently fixed mine, now it's fully control by the Haltech and car's factory HVAC controller  Have a squiz here:

      And by the way, I've also checked the ECU diagnostic numerous times and got a bad O2 sensor code and initially an Ignition Primary code, which is why I replaced the O2 sensor and all the ignition components (coil packa, plug and loom). No codes have been coming up lately despite the ongoing issue.

      Hey pber13, unfortunately still no luck. At this point the following has been done with little or no success: - Spark plugs replaced, gapped to 0.8mm - Splitfire coilpacks installed to replace originals - Replaced Ignition Coil/Coilpack harness with a new genuine nissan one - New fuel filter - Replaced AFM/MAF sensor - Injectors have been thoroughly cleaned with an online flush (without removing) - Upper engine and inlet decarbed - blew tons of black smoke out, cleared the carbon deposits from the top of the engine and exhaust.  - IACV removed and thoroughly cleaned with carburettor cleaner - O2 sensor replaced with new and genuine one -  Smoke test revealed no vacuum leaks - Healthy compression test of 160psi across all 6 cylinders Overall the car does run a lot smoother now, no backfires between gear shifts like it did originally... but the rough idle when warmed up is still there. It may not even be a misfire but simply a rough idle. Seems crazy to me that so many people have had this issue and seemingly no one has gotten to the bottom of it, or at least never bothered to post if they did! Hope you have more luck than I did pber13, I'm at a point now where I'm just going to try to ignore it unless it gets worse. Would love to fix it but I've genuinely run out of ideas of what it could be.

      I got the full frenchys kit too. Really awesome kit. Easy to install my only complaint was the hardlines I think could be routed differently (I modified mine) but I realise the kit needs to suit multiple applications. This was the hard lines before I modified them. They were touching the wastegate pipe. I ended up reducing the distance between firewall and first bend. The made it so they tucked along the frame rail.
