Crashed car drifting, broken hoses?!

[Driftkid808]

I was doing some spirited driving on some empty roads the other day and I lost control of a drift and drove into a tree. front right side took almost all the blow, had slowed down to about 7-10mph before I hit. I broke a hose on the right side that I didn't notice til I drove to work the next day, it seemed to have oil in it & the car was a quart low on oil, it seems to be part of the intake manif but I can't figure out what it is or the replacement parts or why there was oil in. Also my car does not idle on its own anymore it when it's a cold start and is running very odd now. . What did he break somebody help me!!!

an intercooler. dont drive this car without fixing this. you will break it for many reasons. one being that you will be sucking dust and dirt straight into the intake of the engine, bypassing the filter. it's fairly normal to find oil in the intake of an older vehicle. hot air passing through the turbocharger cools here before going back to the engine. you can get away with a straight pipe for now if you drive it slow but you should get another of those.

Looks like part of your intake. if so then with it broken you are sucking raw unfiltered air into the motor. Dust, water, and from the looks of it possibly grass is gonna get sucked in. dont drive it unless you want to have to fix trashed cylinders and pistons.

its the part which pulls in air for your A/C, it normally pulls it through the air box if i still has the stock one to filter the air coming in, yes you can drive it,

See, I was wrong. My bad.

well under his name it says he is driving a 300z NA vert.. betting its not an intercooler.

OP, No need to post the same question in multiple spots on teh forum. there are some other answers in your post in General.

Thanks for the replies I found the replacement part! I am the DK who crashed my car, winding Hawaii roads are too tempting!

Every since this incident my car won't idle on its own and requires ALOT of my help to not die at red lights, is this because my intake hoses are thrashed? Did an ECU check and got 55 (nothing wrong) then checked 02 sensors and they were bad, it had a weird idle before, but now it completely dies unless i assist it.

Those pipes are basically for intake baffles, it is used to quiet down the "foghorn" sound it actually makes. Those can be deleted with no ill effect, but you need to block off the part of the hard intake pipe that goes under the headlight, otherwise you have a large intake leak, unmetered air entering the engine which will cause the engine to idle bad or die. You can get a rubber cap at home depot, I think 1 1/2" size, I have done it with all my z's. Most people delete them because they are an easy way for an intake leak to happen.

Your issue is probably an intake leak or vacuum leak

You're the man!That's exactly it was did the delete today!
