I dunno what it is, I'll have a look when I get home, but it just looks like a bracket for holding something, and nothing in your car seems to be falling off, so not a big worry :ermm:

I originally thought it had to do with the standard snorkel, but it obviously doesn't...

it's just a bracket, and I can't imagine it is too important. Your car seems a LOT more standard then the other, so it could be for or from any thing at any time while the owner was modifieng things...

I'll still have a gander at mine when I get home for you though :ermm:

The only thing I can think of at the moment is that it's there to hold the oil breather in place. You can see half of it just behind the pod box, it looks like a little pod filter. The two oil lines are heading to it...

Certainly not standard :ermm:

depending on who complied your car it may be in a different location. - havea look around for something with 3 hose lines on the top of it.

2 lines from the plenum/TB - 3rd line goes to the fuel tank.

for ingestion of fuel fumes at idle. similar to whats refered to as "pollution gear" on old carbi engines.

wont affect anything, but EPA stipluates it is required.

sounds like the same thing, just hidden -

yer well i dont know much about the part apart from when i was getting the car road worthy in order to do so it stated "secure the pollution canister" which was located virtually infront of the drivers side wheel guard!

unless anyone can think of a part which sits in the same position i mentioned, im gathering that thats it??

thanks alot guys

ah...i dont have one of those but also never noticed it was missing!

I have a big similar container located umm above the heat shield for the turbo, i always assumed it was an oil catch can :s now im wondering if its this? kinda embarrasing lol

yep some places use a real large unit and place it there as ther is no room at the front for that size unit.

I know i'm a bit late to the game, but I was going to say "it's where your factory charcoal cannister should be!".

I noticed a few years ago when I was shopping around for my Skyline that most of the cannisters had been replaced and relocated as part of compliancing. I think some compliancing places don't have the same-sized replacements, so they have to mount their bigger units somewhere else just to fit them in.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
