I got to drive it for the first time in about 4 months. It's been down since October with a broken timing belt and a bent valve. IT LIVES!

Didn't do this "today" but over the last 2 weekends...
- Removed trans, and took it (and my "new" AOT) to my trans guy to have my Guard diff and 951 trans cooler parts swapped over
- Removed torque tube, ordered Constantine's bearings and some 6' threaded rod from Grainger to do the rebuild
- Removed turbo, alternator, and A/C compressor. Getting new bigger turbo, Nissan alternator, and the A/C compressor is getting a rebuild

Sure, easy one. Item #20 in that diagram is a vacuum Tee. It connects to the intake manifold on a 951 with a banjo fitting just above the #4 spark plug.

Thanks, that confirms it! i think someones made a mess of it.

i just found this on clarks garage for the n/a so hope to fix it soon.



so the line from my control valve (J) wasnt plumbed into anything and the T from my pressure damper (3) and regulator (4) was plumbed straight into my throttle body (B). what affect would this have on the running of my car?

^ solved my vacuum line problem on Tuesday.

Today, received my 968 CS rear seat delete and wheel.



here is my clubsport one with my home made one. perspective makes them look different not a lot too different really. the CS one weights approx 5 kg and the homebuild is closer to 7-8. the CS one looks like it screws into the hatch floor and theres a flap of carpet that goes under the hatch carpet while my homebuild one is deeper


my homebuilt shelf installed.


the CS shelf installed.


the CS wheel installed. had to cannibalize a few parts from my old wheel but it works.
