G'day Guys,

While back now i had a full service done on my car, installed new turbo etc... at a workshop

Servicing my car tonight and find that a hose is not connected :) . Car is an R33 GTST S2, near the air filter.

Firstly, is the bottom of the charcoal canister supposed to be connected to anything? if so what? (pic 1)

Secondly, You will see in pic 2 there is a steel tube not connected to anything. this seems to go under the firewall. on the left is the hose which i think it connects to. this hose just connects to the side of the chassis

any help would be appreciated.

Judging by the location of those pieces, i would say that one connects to the other.

Just checked my car (R33 GTS25T) and the charcoal canister connects to both of those hoses you have disconnected there.

It goes straight down to a 90 Deg 3-way connector. So not sure where the rubber hose goes to in Pic2, but the metal hose would be a breather from the fuel tank if it's going to the charcoal canister.

But yeah, go back to workshop and get them to fix it if it's their fault.

thanks guys

the work was done months ago, and i couldn’t really be farked going back there. if you want something done properly you need to do it yourself.

the rubber hose connects to the chassis. i dont really think it makes a difference if its connected or not.

does anyone know if the 3 way connector is fully open each end, or has a one way flow?

i have a spare t-piece and hose i could use.

      rb20de neo +t conversion - boost pressure sensor needed?

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Agreed with the rest. Also at least based on my own research, there are no readily available stock or close-to-stock RB20Neo maps that you could download and use as a base were you to buy a complete standalone ECU, and the regular 20DET maps don't really work well so you'd need to take it to a tuner if you have no experience. I installed an AEM V2 on my 20Neo+T and had lots of headaches until I got it to run and idle properly but I've yet to remap it fully. You have to start building up your timing and fuel maps entirely from the ground up; even the ones for a 25 didn't work at all.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.

      So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.
