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.

Sorry but what does a carbon canister do? just read that basically stop fuel vapour being released? never herd of one till reading ur post.

im in nz too

i think it was put there mainly for emissions. i dont believe there are gains for removing it, its just bloody ugly lol

yeah it was for emissions but yeah your right it is ugly as and it just more shit that gets in the way when your trying to do stuff to your engine and no matter how hard you try you will not make it look pretty lol

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.

    • Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R. 
    • Thanks. We getting some parts along too so he will be solving the speed issue like next week so i will let you know what he came up with.   
    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
