Question and parts ID

I installed a new negative battery cable. I was removing the bracket the ring end goes on and the 10mm bolt holding it on broke. As Nissan 10mm bolts seem to do. Often. Anyway I didn't want to fool w/ drilling it out so I relocated the bracket nearby on the same part. I assume it will be fine but I may run another ground from there to the block later on. I found a hose that isn't connected anywhere. It's coming from the transmission. Pic 1: I'm guess it's a vent? In the second pic is where I relocated the ground cable bracket I mentioned. If someone could ID parts A, B, and C for future reference I'd appreciate it.

Listen, I don't really mind the silly attempt at snarky humor but there were other questions there and since you bothered to reply at all you might as well have taken a shot at them.

Is this a 3.0 or a 3.5? Part A is the sensor for your coolant temperature gauge on your dash, it is purely for your viewing pleasure. Part B is the coolant temperature sensor that your ECU uses, it has no interaction with your gauge. Part C is your coolant log, coolant runs through it, self explanatory. If you were looking for part numbers then unfortunately i cant help because im too lazy to dig them up lol.

I'm guessing Nissan still uses the same vendor for 10mm bolts. In the z31/z32 world we used to say jokingly that all you need are a couple of different types of 10mm wrenches. And a drill with good bits and broken/stripped extractor set. I'm sure that relocated ground bracket will be fine. It's attached to the same part and actually made the body ground ring fit better. The one on the new cable was flipped 90 degrees from the original.

Strange, I've never had a problem with breaking bolts on the Maximas or even my 1st gen Z Cars. The 85 Turbo ZX was another story. Kind of a low point for Nissan all around.

The ground will be fine there and,yeah, that's a tranny vent.

Yeah me either. Over 500k on 2000/01 Max doing all my own wrenching and don't remember ever snapping a bolt. Never heard of it either outside of people using impacts when they should not.
