i need this little guy, its a fitting of some sort coming out of the back of the intake manifold, its threaded so i assume you can just unscrew it, but i havent tried. anyways the kid i bought this motor from said he didnt break anything when he pulled it but whatever. does anyone have one of these i could buy off them? give me a price shipped to 98362. thanks!

I'm sure you'll be able to find a piece to replace that. Take it out and start hitting up your local Napa/other part stores. It might not be exactly the same but something is bound to work.

That's the vac nipple for your brake booster IIRC. Anything that is the same size and thread should work (make sure the nipple part fits the booster hose)

Almost all nissans have the same threaded fitting. I got mine of a sr20 but the one off a ca18de works. ill check if the ka one fits tomorrow

I'd hit up a hardware store as well. It will be MUCH cheaper.

the KA one does fit, its what i had to use. yea Home Depot would probably be your best bet if you can't find one from a KA,SR, or other CA. just make sure the piece you buy is long enough. I made that mistake before

You will need to find it in a pipe fitting section. Be cautious though, most auto stores will only have NPT fittings. The thread you need is British Standard (BPSS I believe). NPT may work, but usually it has too large of an outer diameter. Find a plumbing or industrial supply store with metric fittings and you will be fine.

This guy is totally correct. Its an expensive little guy. What I did was goto a hydraulic store. The sold me a BPSS fitting to convert to NPT. Then an NPT fitting with a hose barb. Mine now just comes straight off the back of the manifold. The 90* wasn't worth trying to keep.

It is BSPT (British Standard Pipe Thread).

Why not just pull it and weld it back?
