Have a small issue where the car just cuts out/dies usualy when stoped or ideling, not like a stall more like is just shut off, then the VDC Slip and SES (engine light) come at next start. When I go to start next it take longer to turn over, about 3 times as long. (this is the second time this has happened). After first instence i hit the web and Found similar stories on g35driver and such, people having the same issues are saying it is the "Cam position sensor" so naturally i assumed it was the same thing even found part numbers for both bank1 and bank2 sensors... but today I notice that this hose was not on all the way it had come lose as I had not put the clamp back on correctly when I installed my new Cat Converters about 4 weeks ago :/ *kicks self*

So I am lil bit concerned as i have no idea how long this hose has been detacted.Is it really bad if i drove with this hose disconected? pic below

Eeeeep that unattached hose means the engine is sucking unfiltered air into the engine which could contain dirt particles. Get that shit back on ASAP!!!!!

Although i have seen other people and heard of other people opening their bonnet and finding this hose not attached and there was no problem at all. Its just luck if it sucks in a lil rock and blows the engine (worst case scenario)

Is your car hard to start sometimes??

My car use to randomly stall now and again then a week or 2 later it was hard to start (kept cranking but didn't fire up. Unplugged the sensor then cranked it, it would start up but took a lil longer then usual) when my Cam Position Sensors where stuffed.

Drivers side sensor was stuffed, i just replaced both so i didnt have to replace the other one later on.

Yes, they're the same as 350z, and $340 is about right from nissan.

      My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered

      No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
