Now, I was removing the ac from my car before i drop in my new engine, What should i be doing about this little bit i broke off. The nipple that broke off just goes into the framerail. Is it just a drain that i dont have to be worrying about? or will this make my swap not start? Let me know guys! Thanks alot in advance.

ALSO, I cracked a flywheel bolt, where abouts should I go looking for one of these? I need one Desperately.

EDIT, This a a 91 silvia that i’m swapping a replacement sr20 into!

That hose is just a drain, its for your evap, i remove that whole fucking system when i do swaps, just gets in teh way anyways. as for the flywheel bolt, youre going to have to look around for them, talk to a dealership near you, see if they can get you one for a 94 infiniti g20, that should work, its an sr20de.

yah i don’t worry about that crack, but i wouldn’t remove the charcoal canister… you don’t want an open vent to you under hood from your gas tank. And I wouldn’t block off that line either. Nissan Put that thing in your car for a reason. Just leave it alone
