A link by itself is virtually useless and will be seen by a very few.

You should have copy and pasted the text into this thread (crediting the author) so that it comes up in a search.

Course, I wouldn't bother if i was you as

a) Its been mis labeled as a "carbon?" cannister, instead of charcoal cannister

b) Its the second hit in a Google search of "RB26DETT carbon cannister removal" (as per (a) - moot)

c) The mod is illegal and upsets the hippies (and possibly dangerous, spilling fuel into the engine bay if the car goes upside down i think)

d) The time spent doing this "mod" could be spent installing a new one (some evidence shows an old one can cause bad mileage) somewhere out of the way, like these tuning gods talk about Click

Couldn't copy and paste it as the forum won't accept the way the pics are, it's my work and most have found it very usefull, so

Why would you want to do that? Catch can still fits - I like saving fuel not wasting it... most skylines havent even done 100,000klms, theyre even replaced/installed as part of complaincing when theyre imported so most are new anyhow

[Japtastic-UK]

I think you guys do it different over there, a lot of our Skyline's have done over 100,000km + we can fit/remove whatever we want to out cars without hiding or what not, we don't have compliance checks just a basic MOT and you can have the biggest turbo sat under bonnett with electronic gizmo's and catch tanks where ever you want, the police have no power to tell us how we mod our cars. The only thing they get annoyed by is really dark tinited windows

Charcoal canister doesnt save fuel. It merely filters the fuel vapours coming out of the breather of the fuel tank before purging it into the inlet manifold at an appropriate engine speed controlled via manifold vacuum. You dont need to replace it and its only got 2 hose clips, and one bolt to slip it out of its bracket.

Just read the tutorial, if you want to remove it, that's the way...

[Godzilla32]

Like the other guys said, its pointless removing it. The car was designed to have one so leave it be. People seem hell bent on modifying things regardless of whether its an improvement or not

[Japtastic-UK]

I prefer a cleaner less cluttered looking engine bay as do a lot of people. I respect your view if you want to keep it. The car was also designed to stay at stock boost and not have boost restrictors removed, d-cat's etc etc etc, pointless argument. If you don't want to do it, don't do it, if you do, and many do there is a nice tutorial for you. BTW liking your rebuild thread

Just done this job, it free's up a bit of space, just right for a oil catch can, plus I'm told they don't last much longer than 100,000km so most will be past their sell by date. Oh you could always replace it from Nissan but you'd need to re-mortgage your house

BTW This is an R32, I'm pretty sure it is relavent for 33's and 34's too, let me know if not...

Any way on to the removal, very simple so any one with some tools can attempt this.

1) You'll start off with something like this, excuse my engine bay being in such a state but I'm in the middle of several messy jobs.

2) Pull off the top 3 pipes and losen the 10mm bolt that holds the canister.

3) There is one more big pipe under the canister, you can try and disconnect this from the tube that runs in to the chassis rail but it's awkward, I just pulled the canister up and the pipe popped off any way, that's the canister removed. Next to the canister there is a 10mm bolt and 2x10mm underneath, remove those and the whole metal bracket comes free.

4) Now on to removing/blocking of the pipes, the two circled in green can be removed completley from just behind the top timing belt cover. This can be done without removing any of the IC piping, it's just that mine is removed due to other stuff I'm doing.

The one circled in red is the fuel tank vent and needs to be left open as it is, considering a small amount of fuel vapour will escape here I'm going to advise you extend this pipe down to the bottom part of the engine for purely safety reasons, personally I feel the location I have it on the IC pipe is fine, it gets enough air past it and the vapour really isn't alot now it's not getting sucked out, I'll leave it up to you to decide, if your in any doubt/can't decide route to the bottom of the engine. (you can remove the metal clip)

5) On to the other side of the engine, is where one of the pipes leads to, losen the metal clip then pull the ruber tube off and cap this off with whatever you feel best, I've used a bolt for the moment, you can then cable tie this tube to some where suitable/the other rubber piping...

The other pipe leads to the front throttle bodies, this again can be pulled off and capped.

And that's a good job done, I also removed the foam around the IC piping to clean things up a bit further, you should be left with this little lot that used to clutter your engine bay
