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.

      Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too.

      Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.

      Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.

      Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
