Can anyone please tell me how to run the lines for my carbon canister? There was a paint tin size one in the car when I got it shoved in near where the oil filter is on the LHS of the engine bay, this was removed by a work shop a while ago.

I tracked down a standard size one with the bracket to mount on the front bar.

The markings on the top are : Fuel tank, VC and Purge on the top, and there is another fitting down the bottom.

There are two small diameter pipes that go from the plenum over the top of the coil cover. These are blocked off at the moment but which one goes where into the carbon canister? I think one goes into VC and the other in Purge, which leaves the fuel tank and the one down the bottom that needs to be connected somewhere.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

On your picture:

1 - VC

2 - Purge

(ie they cross over, top goes to bottom, bottom goes to top) and the last hose (fuel tank) on my car just routes downwards.

Thanks mate, any ideas for the one off the bottom?

Ahh ok that clip on the bracket might be for the fuel tank one, I assume the fuel tank one just clips into this to hold it facing down.

Need to put it in, not worth a defect.

I am getting crap fuel economy again (was o2 sensor last time) so I am putting carbon canister back in and changing the coolant temp sensor. Hoping that it will fix the problem.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
