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.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
