Default PCV hose question

I did a search and cant find anything. Seeing as the previous owner of my car replaced the elbow to the TB for the PCV with Electrical tape, I need to repair this and I am not spending 100 bucks plus for the entire pcv piece. Does anyone know off hand the diameter of the hose needed to join these two points?

5/16 should work well straight from the barb on your PCV to the barb on the TB.

I don't know what year/type your car is but check out these images:

yeah get some 5/16 fuel line and they have some pcv connectors and what not...just goto autozone or something and you will find the parts there to repair it without spending 100 bucks...it will be more like 15 bucks if you do it that route

It's a 2000 Z. I just got it a couple weeks ago. I was just giving everything a good look over and saw this and the same day it threw a code for it. Thanks for the info, its all better now!
