Replaced the upper manifold gasket and think I'm missing a hose on the back.

There's a metal tube/nipple on the back of the upper manifold that doesn't have a hose attached. I'm trying to figure out what hose goes to it. I know I pulled one off, but have no idea what happened to it or where it would even go if I found it. There's one hose right up against the firewall that's sitting right there but it's too small to fit over the tube.

Anyone got any pics of this area of the manifold? I can figure it out if I saw how it looks again.

Thanks,
Capitone

dont mind the hose sticking upward its the heater core hose not connected as heater core doesn't work. Lol ordering new oem heater core soon since winters coming granted running a nismo 62 degree celcius t-stat wont heat the car up as much

Cool! This is exactly what I needed. Looks like the hose i saw does hook up it's just missing the wider hose to it. Many thx man.

What's that you say about your thermostat? Didn't know the degree you choose affects your heaters temp. Good 2 know, cause I plan on changing mine too.

Thanks again!

im using a nismo 62 degree t-stat and yes it does effect your heater temp. If the engine doesnt heat up as hot as normal t-stats do it will not be as hot as factory.
