Hey. Just wondering, just bought a r33 and not sure what a few thing's under the bonnet are for? This pic and also, i have a T piece that has alot of little hose's attached too it, will get a pic of that later. Car is a 1996 series 2 gts25t.

Any help would be good.

thanks.

Charcoal canister - for emmissions.

on that same note... see how the hoses coming out of this 'charcoal canister' connect to the goldy coloured pipes under the cross over pipe...

why is thair only one connected in our Stagea and the other one blocked off?

is there some sort of performance upgrade related to this?

As far as I know is supposed to eliminate Evaprotive hydrocarbon emissions from the fuel tank by either recirculating them into the intake air (when engine running) or absobing them into the Carbon inside the canister (When engine not running).

Have been told that these charcoal canisters are worthless for this task less than two years after the car has rolled off the production line.... :)

That said, Mr highway patrol and his RTA/EPA mates will happily add you to their defect quota list if they notice that a car originally fitted with one no longer has it fitted. :P

sorry to hijack the thread, but does anyone know what the little box at the back corner of the engine bay on the drivers side does? it has a vacuum hose go in and wires come out. the vacuum hose is connected to the hose that goes to the factory gauge in the dash. (car is r33 gts-t)

its hard to search when you don't know what its called, and you can't seach with a picture.

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
