What Is This Solenoid/sensor ?

Hi all,

So this weekend i gathered the courage to change my spark plugs, in the process of removing a million things I broke a nipple off a solenoid to which a vacuum hose is connected that leads into the some kind of catch can in the front of the car next to the radiator.

...The confusing thing is that when i took out the piece of the broken nipple stuck in the vacuum hose it was completely sealed/blocked. So in essence it seems like there is no need for that piece vacumm hose.

a bit confusing to say the least, not sure if i should buy a new one a or just seal up the solenoid and remove the vacuum hose.

HELP! (please)

(anyone is selling one of these, is that the part number on the solenoid?)

the engine is a rb25de neo

its the carbon canister purge solenoid valve. the carbon canister will be down the front of the car around the passenger head light. the purge valve and carbon canister have something to do with the fuel tank breather, i'm not too sure on when it does it but the purge valve opens to let fuel tank vapours in the carbon canister back into the intake to be burnt off by the engine.

thanks for your help guys,

i ended up ordering the part from nissan genuine $190 it'll take 2-3 weeks they say, bit of a rip off but what can you do.

the part number is 14930 - aa0a ... they call it a 'valve control'

... turned into a very expensive spark plug change

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.

      Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
