PCV valve. If you're worried about it, buy a replacement. I'd recommend opting for one from a 2J Supra.

It's a HKS intake.

Nice J's cover btw :)

pcv = positive crankcase ventilation

as it says it vents blow by from the motor back into the intake then into the combustion chamber to get burnt up (emissions requirement). you can get one from whatever car you want just make sure you inspect it by blowing thru it each service because if it gets carbon build up and gets stuck closed, you can pressurise your sump and start blowing the dipstick out

lol mate there only ment to fit nice and snug in the hole not be super tight
if its that bad you might need a new gromit

dont bother getting a 2JZ one. it doesnt give you any extra power or flow so just go to honda or bursons/repco (whatever is in your state) and get an OEM replacement pcv and rubber grommet for it =]

Never known a PCV valve to be a real snug fit. Unless it falls out with the weight of the hose or you can hear pressure getting by the grommet, don't worry.
I'd be more worried about the air intake, running the plumbing through the radiator airfolw.
It is a puzzling route for the intake, just my opinion though.
Does it get cold air from outside at all or is it drawing from the engine bay?
