My mates 1JZ has a similar thing...

Pretty sure its to do with the stock boost control system, and the guy/girl before you must've put a boost controller in and blocked off that line...

From what I know that orange thing is a vacuum reservoir or a filter like ^^ he said...

Try tracing the line back to where ever it originates, cos it could in fact be a EVAP line/carbon canister line, which is important for emissions and sh!t...

According to the service manual it is the 'air inlet pipe' that connects through a 'vacuum tank' to the 'turbo pressure sensor'. Obviously the pressure sensor is not connected at all.

Is this a bad thing? There is no boost controller in the car now although there may have been one installed by the previous owner.

In the middle photo, the bolt head is right next to a black box that looks like the boost pressure sensor. should have hitachi stamped on it. It plugs in underneath, check and see if there's a nipple there for the pipe to fit onto.

Some one has probably removed it to fool the ecu into not going into Rich and retard at higher boost.

You were spot on - there is a nipple for the pipe to fit onto. Now i'm wondering if I should reconnect it or not.

its not a filter.. it just stops pulsing in the line to give whatever it is a good reading....

You see this alot on jap BOV's and even map sensors that have issues with pulsing on the line.

Don't re-connect it unless you know what you are doing :D

And in terms of air pressure sensing, they call it a filter... :) The pulsing is referred to as "noise". And it's designed to filter out the noise.

Do you guys rekon there's any benefit to putting one of these in a pressure line to a map sensor?

I've got a map sensor on my car from the EMS Stinger. Anything that helps the computer get a more accurate load signal has got to be a good thing right??

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
