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.

      🚨 Need Advice! Overcharged for Engineering Report 🚨

      Each province differs a bit but we only do mandatory vehicle inspections here for heavy vehicles (Think Ford F350 and up). Those inspections are done by mechanics that are approved by the government. Besides that, it's a free for all as long as the car looks stock.  I asked because I love seeing how engineering differs from country to country. Here in Canada, all designs must be stamped and signed before they can be brought to fruition. (I.E Bridges, structures, Electrical panels, machines, literally everything shy of a wooden table) This can only be done by a professional engineer or professional engineering technologist. Both are protected titles, but the latter having more of a limited scope in what they can stamp. To become a professional engineer, you must complete a 4-5 year bachelors degree in your field of engineering, be part of an engineering order and undergo 4 years of apprenticeship, testing and mandatory continues education. Same story for engineering technologists, but a 3 year associates degree in some form of engineering technology will suffice. If you do not comply, or pretend you're an engineer or technologist, off to jail you go. If you stamp a design that fails, off to jail you go. If you stamp a design that fails and kills someone (I.E Bridge collapse) Off to jail you go for a very long time, your family will be ridiculed on the news, neighbours will surround your home with pitch forks and your dog will disown you.  Same for specialised trades... Example Electricians must undergo 1.5 years of post high school education, 4 years of apprenticeship, testing and hold proper licences. It's for the best, but then we also wonder why we're so short on engineers and tradesmen haha

      I have a friend who has used Chequered Tuning and CMS. Went to CMS when Chequered had a long wait time which is kind of the norm (for good reason). Was very happy - I'm pretty sure the very simple thing you're asking will be simple.

      Nah he was mega organised, the sort of guy that put (almost) every tool back every day, it made trying to work out where things were up to possible.  My shed needs a swedish death clean, I would have >20 part done jobs, its particularly hard to collect all required parts for a job ahead of time when you can't just pop into a shop and grab things
