Hose from Front Diff - GTR

[32ZiLA]

Hi,

I have a hose that comes from the top of the front diff on my R32 GTR but it doesn't attach to anything else. Does anyone know what the other end is supposed to attach to?

I can't find it listed anywhere in the workshop manual.

Thanks

I think it's some sort of breather hose. I don't fully understand its purpose, but Mr Nissan obviously had a good reason for fitting it. If you look carefully, you may find a similar setup on the rear diff as well.

It should simply vent to atmosphere.

I've had the engine rebuilt and at the moment it's not connected to anything, but the hose looks like it used to have a clamp on the end, which is why I thought that it went somewhere.

There should be a spot on the underside of the inlet plenum where you can "hang" the end free from.

It should have a little steel bit attached to it that bolts under the inlet plenum .

Its a diff breather and the reason they bolt it high up is so no water goes in it .

as said above it lets the diff breathe.

the rear has it and im sure the box should have it too
