I have just picked up a R34 GTT sedan with manual conversion done. I have noticed an extra vac hose coming off the engine thats not connected to anything. I have done some searching for photos of the engine to see where it goes but none of them showed it very well with most photos being taken from the front.

I searched the engine bay for where it could go with the length of hose that is there and theres nothing that was obvious. The hose itself has a small black plastic tube broke off inside the end so its possible where ever it was connected it as been snapped off but again im unsure. I have also had a look at the work shop manual for the vac diagrams but didnt have much luck working it out.

Can anyone tell me what this hose is for and where it should be connected at the other end.

The hose in question outlined in red

I think I found it... It was a little black sensor that was no longer connected to anything. Looks like this is where it has snapped off from at least. I have plugged it for the moment as I saw in a post somewhere that it can be disconnected to remove the factory boost limit.

It look like I would have to buy a new sensor of I want to reconnect it. Is it worth the hassle if finding a replacement? Or is it fine to just keep going with this disconnected and plugged.

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
