If the car is to remain a road car, then it has to have the carbon canister (part of the ADR / EPA requirements). You can fit a small catch can beside the battery.

To remove the A/C, you need to go to a registered A/C place so they can remove the gas - you can't just let it vent to atmosphere.

yo mate, did you get all this done?

for the carbon canister

just want to know what you did with the one underneath the throttle. do you block it?

could you post a pic? what did you replace all the metal tubing with?

I wanted to do it but extending the line to the BOV would make it crazy long.

cheers

I left mine in and when I got my belts done next I got them to take it off. No extra charge and no messing around.

the air con i did the same thing, removed the pump, lines, condensor everything.

heaps more room infront of the rad. air con in a skyline is over rated!

Depends which gas

r12 and 134a are both bad and lpg is rarely used so unless you use lpg in your air con it unsafe to vent. try breathing it in next time and youll see

      Yeah I heard the same. Might be hard to order one. But then I guess can go to hks or go to a more expensive n1 block with tomei. Guess will jump the hurdle once I get there next upgrade around. I can’t get work done in the states as the lead time will take for ever on top of shipping to Hong Kong.

      https://www.platinumracingproducts.com/en-us/products/nissan-rb26-cast-blocks This is the solution I was thinking of. I would stay away from Tomei USA, their quality is a question mark to me. If you want an engine machined in the US contact Club DSPORT: https://clubdsport.com/ Tomei JP is probably fine but I recall they stopped doing pre-assembled short or long blocks. In general it's pretty tough to get any kind of RB26 block at the moment with Nissan so severely backordered.

      PAR specifically offers stock ratios in their gearset and you could do whatever ratios are physically possible supposedly for no extra cost. I agree 6 ratios is better than 5, the factory 2nd gear is equivalent to the Getrag 2nd gear if you account for the differing final drive ratio though. The Getrag 3rd gear with a 3.916 final drive is equivalent to a 1.6 2nd gear in the FS5R30A. I'm about to swap the transmission out on my car, I'm tempted to send the one I have now out for rebuild with the standard "cross ratio" gearsets out there to see if it really makes such a big difference the next time I pull the transmission.

      This is what I was looking at next:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/engines/tomei/tomei-rb26-28l-short-block-assemblies-p-45479.html as we can’t bore the cylinders out in hk so better just buy the whole lot in one and install then retune. Everyone saying the weak link are the bolts holding the rods together. I already did valve springs, arp head bolts, hks racing coils, nismo fuel pumps and pressure regulators, injectors etc for the top of the engine.
