I would like to know how to remove the carbon canister (with pics if possible). i have done a search, but found out its a legal requirement for these to be installed in Aus, which im guessing is the reason for lack of information on this topic. I Live in NZ and our laws are very relaxed compared to yours, so we arent required by law to have one.

Cheers

Just rip it all out and make sure all the vacuum lines are plumbed back in.

Can't really go wrong with it.

Make sure you keep the line coming out of the petrol tank venting to atmosphere though.

There is quite a bit you get to remove:

Yeah pretty easy to remove i done mine along time ago, the concept of these shitty things is to remove the fumes from your fuel tank then returns them into the intake to be burnt up in the engine. Can't quite remember of the top of my head how many hoses go to it but the ones that go to the engine can be taken off and capped or plugged, the solid steel one that comes from the fuel tank can either be removed or shorten it and put a little breather filter on it. IF you don't cap the ones from the engine properly the engine will run like shit. But yeah they are just a useless waste of space.

looks like you have some hard lines in that pic? how far back did you remove the stuff?

the lines from the plenum look easy, it was the other 2 i have no idea about?

cheers

Im pretty sure they right back to the fuel tank, all i done with my mates R34 GTR was cut it shorter along the chassis rail and put a little filter on it as the fuel tank will still need to breathe unless you put another breather system on it other wise you will probably need a car hoist to remove it properly.

Im not 100% sure but there should only one hard line, the fuel tanks needs to breathe otherwise the tank will build up pressure on a hot day and that could be messy, the ones going to the intake were there so the fumes could go back into the engine and be disposed of by being burnt in the combustion chambers, so block them off otherwise the engine will not make vacuum and this could cause it to not run healthy or not run at all

Just to explain the hard lines in my picture. Even though there are four hard lines, it is essentially just the one that has been cut into pieces since that is the only way to remove it with everything still in the car.

From the bottom of the carbon canister is a rubber line that goes to a hard line. This hard lines runs behind the engine along the firewall towards the drivers side. It then meets another rubber line and then this goes into a hard line running underneath the car along side the chassis rail to the fuel tank.

So the majority of lines you see in my picture are what run underneath the car and along the firewall.

Like I said, you really can't mess it up. Think of it logically. You fuel tank needs to vent, hence the lines needs to be venting to atmosphere. Your engine can not vent, therefore any lines going to it need to be blocked off.

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
