Missing Water Hose? Please advise

Now I will have wild guess here but a water hose leading to a throttle body usually forms part of a system to warm the throttle and prevent icing. This is fine but warming the throttle is not conducive to maximum power. Its possible that the previous owner has removed the pipe to gain that extra 1hp. Unless the weather goes completely arctic it won't cause any harm.

Its a 100% guess based on engines in general rather than the Z :blush:

I would have thought if it was missing you'd be spewing coolant, so clearly removed and the other end has been connected elsewhere?????

 

I'm very good friends with that pipe as I've taken my plenum off a number of times and must remove the pipe to allow the plenum to be removed. For the life of me I can't picture where it is joined to.

 

Get it to a mechanic to see what has been done?
