Installing a new air filter (part2)
Allright I am almost done. But I still new a few questions answered.
I have installed the whole new system, in the picture the MAF and the filter are off becuase they were in the way.
The image is just a tad over 50k, so it wont let me include it in the post directly, here is a link
My first problem is that the old hoses are too short I need new ones. In the picture I have outlined in red where the hoses are supposed to be from, the old ones are just too shot. Where can I get new hoses? I have tried Pep Boys, but they don't have the right size. What is the exact diameter of these hoses? Also can I buy them in blue, I want them to match the rest of the piping.
My second thing that I need cleared out is to find out where the blue hose that was suppilied with the air system goes. The original nissan part only had three connections, 2 for those hoses I talked about above (the onces that are too short now), and 1 for this really slim hose. The new part has all these connections, plus 1 more connection that is supplied with that blue hose. The only place I found where it might get plug in, is this other hose which is not connected to anything.
This image is a bit over 50k as well so it wont let me put it derectly into the post, here is a link
I have outlined the one end of it in greed. Here is where it ends.
The end is double outlined in green. Also here is the reference picture so you can see exacly what I am talking about. 
The holes that are out lined in yellow, are the same holes in the other pic outlined in yellow.
The blue hose is too big in diameter and too short in length to put to the conection where that other hose is connected. How ever if I take the end of the hose that is not conncted and plug it into the blue hose that everything is just the right length and diameter. Is that what I am supposed to do?
