Hey Guys, I'm going to do a test tonight with my Carbon Canister. I'm going to by pass it and vent the spent gasses straight to the atmo and see what kind of Power increase (if any) and what kind of loss of fuel economy I get. Just wandering if anyone has already removed/by-passed the canister and what kind of performance results they got? Thanks in advance.

Ben, I've just found it floating around in a few performance articles - remove the Carbon Canister, make a few kw's and gain some room inthe engine bay.

And hell, I love the smell of fuel vapour :P

Strutto, like any of us would ever do anything "illegal" to our cars. Almost as preposterous as any of speeding. Geez.

More importantly, it's only illegal if you get caught.

well doesnt the canister attach to the plenum at some point?

u may gain a little response or something from having less pressure leaks from the plenum, other than that, i cant see any performance benefit?

Be sure to post the results though,

you will find you wont get any performance increase from blocking the charcoal canister, it works by storing fuel vapours from your fuel tank and purges them into the intake manifold during light throtle or cruising operations. it is also the breather for your fuel tank so its not the best idea to go blocking off all the hoses. it is a great system and it works very well so why dick with it

Why dick with it.....try removing your braking system, this only increases the rolling resistance of the vehicle...it should make you go faster though. Or you can remove the front and rear windshields to let the air pass straight through rather than around. That might work. What if you remove all the panels, seats, dash and carpets to light weight it...hmmm that's an idea. OR HOW ABOUT YOU JUST BOLT A FRIGGIN BIG TURBO ON IT AND STOP ***** FOOTING AROUND WITH LITTLE CRAP THAT WON'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND PROBABLY JUST GIVE SOME DUMB COP ANOTHER REASON TO TAKE THE CAR OFF YA.

Sorry, I got a little outta control there, right at the end bit.

lol settle down, he was just posting to find out if it was possible to gain any more power, we're always looking for new ways to gain that little bit extra

I dont think you'll actually gain any power. But if you decide to remove it, its probably a better idea to block off the line coming from the fuel tank which not only stinks and is a hazard, but also is a waste of fuel. Dont worry about the tank not being ventilated as the fuel cap is designed to let air in or out of the tank as needed.

      Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.

      Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.

      The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
