I am about to replace all vacuum hoses. The car whispers like a mofo and there is lots of power loss. I think its time to do a tune up... I am about to change the spark plugs and hoses and all other little things. I cant seem to find a place where they sell vacuum hoses. also i got a p0443 error it says something about evap anyone familiar?

I have no idea how much they cost. But i will guess much more than some hose you can buy on ebay and chop it up yourself. The only thing is that I am not sure how many different hose sizes do i need. I remember someone posted a link to a pdf file of vq30de engine manual maybe there is some info there. If anyone anyone knows the site please let me know.

Looking around on google found some interesting stuff... The maxima from the movie "the fast and the furious" had custom made silicon hoses from "Hose Techniques" for about $150... I checked out the site and found out they no longer make the kits for maxima... if someone is interested to see the mods done on that maxima here is the site

i think the "pro" f'd up something. still put over 100k after the replacement - maybe it de-vaccumised and needed to re-vacuumise? couldn't tell you.

not a hater just think they messed it up for the purpose of the movie. i bet it impressed the kids that love the fast and furious though...i might be too old to understand i'd rather see kzoosho's turbo'd black ride. no show, just the go.
