That's the right way to delete that hose. The majority of people who delete just run rubber plugs but I didn't feel comfortable doing that so I had the pipes cut/welded.

So by doing this is just for looks right and keep it cleaner in the bay?? Do you loose anything from this? What about coolant flow? ? I asked a long time ago in the engine bay pics but no one would help a brother out lol. Also iv seen guys run braided lines instead. Any difference?

No performance gain or loss by deleting this hose, just for looks. You can only run braided coolant hoses it you have an aftermarket radiator. The lower hose on the driver's side must be wrapped a braided hose can't make that bend.

What about flow after ita been deleted? Everything still works great right? Once I buy a polishes timing cover I'm going to have this done and I want to make sure I do it right

That hose is to make maintenance easier for the techs at infiniti. I was told that by a tech. You can actually just pull the hose off and cap the ends. There alot of other hoses you can delete.

Yup there are a bunch more you can delete, most wouldn't add to the aesthetics of the engine bay by deleting that's why I'm not bothering deleting them.

LOL, not all show and no go. I do have some go fast mods. I'm also not convinced on the performance gained for all the work it takes to delete those other hoses.

Speed limit out here is 65, most people roll at 80 in the fast lane.

Oh how fast can I go. I drive 65 on the freeway (when there is no traffic). On parts of the freeway I'm familiar with and no big dips I get up to 85.
