Yes.  But what you have in your bay does not match the manual.  The line you are holding IS going between the canister and a solenoid, but the solenoid is behind the PS reservoir, which would tend to suggest that it is the boost control solenoid valve, not the purge solenoid valve.  Just follow the lines in the last image I posted and you will see what is supposed to connected to where.  I can't show you a completely useful photo of mine, because it is in an R32 and the canister is different.

Thanks a munch for your help mate. Yes your correct, it was auto but has been manual converted recently. I have been having boost power issues since the conversion, the boost just seems to drop out after 4k rpms and only kicks in around 3k rpms. Sorry to complicate things mate but im trying to find anything that is related and im thinking this might be

That's the boost control solenoid.

I have an electric boost controller and may have mistaken it but doesn’t this line hook up to a manual boost controller on some cars?

The OEM boost control solenoid is hooked up to vent some of the boost signal from the compressor outlet tapping port on its way to the wastegate actuator.  the instant you put in any other sort of boost controller (manual, EBC, whatever), the original solenoid is no longer used.  The new boost controller then does what the original one used to do.

It's in the last picture I posted.

I cant tell where there going to in the diagram. It looks like it goes to something on kr near the pipe but i cant see anything like that in my engine bay. Also i have this t piece here, is that normal or are those lines meant to go to the solenoid?

You won't find anyone who can show you a photo of a stock setup, because no-one has a stock setup.

So, if you look at the last diagram, you will see where hoses are supposed to sit, and if you look at the first diagram, and follow the pipes between the solenoid, turbo outlet and turbo inlet, you should be able to work it out, including the T piece.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
