Use power steering hose. It's resistant to the oil vapor coming out of that breather.

The silicone hose might look good, but the oil vapor will cause it to sweat oil and deteriorate. Same goes for clear PVC or heater hose.

He's talking about this white tube/hose. It looks like it enters the cabin where a boost gauge would. But it goes to where the fuel/brake lines are. Seems weird.

As for the throttle cable. It's too short. It should run along the firewall not over your valve cover. Just look at the other pic I posted. The one you have is probably from an SOHC S13 or something similar.

Check out this Imgur resizing and rotating action. With some bonus MS Paint arrows thrown in.
