Don't cap that nipple on your throttle body, coolant is meant to pass through there and there is no point in capping it. Also, yes that is your knock sensor.

Thanks HB & Tek.Stripes-the coolant running to the TB to warm it up right? Warming the air cooled by IC, not necessary Props to Didderson for the idea.

Correct, ignore the whole canister lol. Its the fuel line that connects under the car to a hose near the fuel tank with a screw clamp NOT the squeeze type. Ill look tomorrow and see if it goes to the fuel filter or FPR

Yes, that is what it's for and it is meant to help idle in cold temperatures. Nissan put it there for a reason and I don't see why capping it off will be of any benefit?

WC its NOT the line I thought it was! I just pulled both of them after realizing that the one that goes to the FPR wasnt the one I drilled through.

Its the line connected to a hose near the rear of the car with a simple squeeze clamp, I believe its the one that goes to the fuel filter, if you already pulled the return tube Ill still buy it from you but Ill need the other one as well. OR I can order it from Courtesy either way.

Stripes-this car wont be seeing cold weather because Im going to live in south california Nissan also put a truck motor in the 240sx here in the states-but we arent satisfied with that now are we

the throttle body from feezing open. which would be rare specially wit ha turbo having warm air come through. so cap them off. i started my car in sub zero temps no problem with it disconnected/
