the pipe itself runs under and parallel to the intake manifold. it connects in the back to the heat hoses and has a small hose that goes to the intake and one that goes to the throttle. plus two up front. Mine is pretty rusted near the hose connections (has rust holes =( ) so im looking for a new one. I couldn't find it on everythingnissan.com so i'm stumped. anyone got one or know where to get it?

Why not just take it off and have an exhaust shop make the piece and weld a bead for the hose clamp to bite into? You could then weld the nippes off the old one onto it...or better yet, why not get one from a FWD CA?
