I have some old and damaged vacuum hoses on my 1992 S13 240SX with the stock KA24DE. For the narrow line hose, like the hoses that attach to FPR, EGR, BPT to exhaust, SCV, etc, what diameter are they?

I know I can bring the hose I have in to the auto parts shop and match it but this wouldn't be the first time I have found mis-sized hosing on my car. I would feel better going there knowing what size of line is supposed to be on there.

Thank you in advance.

In all honesty, the best chance you got to know the EXACT size of the ALL the vacuum lines is to acquire an fsm. If you can't acquire one, get your VIN and call/go see your local Nissan dealership and see what kind of info you can get from them.

just cut a section of one and take it to the parts store. They are metric hoses and most parts stores carry standard, but you can match it up with something.

OutToWinPAHC ftw. Thats what I always do. Unless you are trying to order some of them flashy silicone hoses with pretty neon colors and all from some website lol.

Measure the inside diameter of the hose, thats your size.
