That's your recommendation to someone who lives in Melbourne? Really?

I am assuming the stock one is still there, I have seen many skylines with the stock charcoal canister looped into the aftermarket charcoal canister.

I was suggesting to remove that fugly compliance one and only run the stock one.

That massive one in the top pic, I've seen a few R33 with that looped back into the stock one. Mine was the same, took it off and just used the stock R33 OEM one.

The stock one sits bolt next to the LHS passenger headlight, has a small u shaped hose which connects to the fuel tank. THe other 2 goes to the plenum.

I didn't even open his pictures. I just assumed it was a shot of the factory location (glancing at the thumbnails). When did they start fitting those to incoming cars? As I said, I've never seen one, and I've been under the bonnets of hundreds of Skylines over the years.

Theres 2 Vac lines going nowhere in the second photo that look the right length? usually there are labels on the top. From memory vent goes to fuel tank vent, purge goes to throttle body (or IC side of plenum) boost feed and the other one goes to a plenum boost/vac feed. Those last 2 might be wrong way round but gives you some idea anyway.

Stock charcol canister is mounted at the front on a bracket with 2 bolts holding it to the crossbrace for the radiator (Top)

No idea, but every so often I see one. Especially fresh ones at dealers, I believe most people just rip them out, bin them and use the stock one.

Yep, mine had one. Was a sooper shonky job too. Was the first thing I ripped out. Who needs two charcoal canisters?

So I can rip out the one in the pic ( I.e the big black fugly one with the 3 hoses)Also i can't find the OEM canister at the front that u guys are talking about, could someone post up a pic of it and how to re direct all of the hoses into the that one so I can remove this black piece of shit!

Cheers guys!

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
