IACV Hose - Can't find replacement

I'm looking for new hoses for my IACV and valve cover to intake since they're both split open pretty bad. I've wrapped silicone tape tightly around them but there's still a leak going on. I've tried looking through many sites and forums but I can't find those hoses to replace.

If anyone knows where I can get these two I would really appreciate it.

Auto parts store

I took mine to the auto parts store and they let me look through all their hoses. I found one and I just had to trim it but all the bends lined up. Hope that helps.

I often resort to searching for parts by using the Japanese equivalent name. Anyways, hoping this site might be of help (no affiliation).

Other times I've resorted to using the engine type: VG30.

This site may be helpful as well: https://jdm-car-parts.com/en-ca/page...ts-page?q=hose

If you've already tried these then I apologize. There are also sites that originate in Japan that have old parts and will ship. eBay's wwwisicarcom has been a source for the micro bulbs used in the side instrument switches.

Lastly, did you try the 'Where to buy parts' sticky above? https://www.zdriver.com/forums/300zx...xs-z31s-20451/

Hey thanks for the recommendations.

I think z1motorsports was one of them but only saw parts for Z32 and other models and didnt think those hoses would fit correctly, but I'll try seeing if any could be used even if not the exact shape of the Z31 hose.

Yes I read through that sticky thread and checked a few sites out before the post. I'll give those you've mentioned a try

The hose appears to be listed as fitting both the Z31 and Z32.
