just wondering if a stuffed carbon canister can cause a slight miss at idle and the car to run rich.

i have been chasing this problem for a little while, first thinking is was the BOV, i have blocked this off, no change replaced most of my vacume lines and still no change, checked IC piping all is tight and no leaks. thought might be AFM so i have resoldered it and still no change, so i'm wondering if a stuffed purge valve on the carbon canistor could cause this?

mods to the car at the moment

FMIC, pod, no BOV, profec e01.

Im getting a similar problem with mine (weird missfire on idle) and havent been able to solve it yet (its getting less frequent though) have been told that a rorted O2 sensor could cause it so thats my next step, it should arrive by wednesday so will keep you posted.

how did you go with the 02 sensor

i a small air leak, which seems to have fixed up most of the miss however still have a very slight one so interested in how you went

Changed it last night and the car still has a slight misfire (a lot less frequent though, maybe 1 every 20 seconds compared to the 5 every 10 seconds before) but all my other problems are fixed now because the O2 sensor was pretty much dead, was covered in soot and muck and looked like it was the factory one :X

    • 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?
