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.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
