Hey guys just fitting the new FMIC which is pretty much the same as a hybrid one. I am using the hybrid intructions *PLEASE SEE ATTACHMENT*. and am just wanting to know what others have done with the carbon canister i am pretty sure that is it as in the photo that hole goes straight through where it is at the moment. I guess i can possibly move it back further but yea any help would be appreciated.

the carbon canister is at the front of the engine bay on the right hand side, near the air filter.

Are you sure it isn't the oil filter you are talking about? coz thats about the only thing on the engine side corresponding to the pic you have posted

thanks for the post lazy-bastard um now i am a little lost the oil filter is just on the side of the block isnt it ??? this is a black canister looking thing i will try and get some photos of it but yea basically when you take the front bar off it is on the driver side screwed onto the wall which as shown in the picture needs to be cut out ??? so i am a little lost

hmm after alot of searching and comparing engine bay photos i am 100% sure it is my carbon canister i do have one question though are the put in in japan or only when they come across to australia as my canister defiantly has a made in australia on it so i am guessing it was done at compliance ???

anyways lazy are the 2 photos attached what you are refering to as the carbon canister...

Your thinking that the hole has to be made on the wrong side.

If its Hybrid style the hole needs to be made on the other side underneath the water resivoir.

The canister does not need to be moved nor will it be in the way.

The piping will replace the upper pipe that goes from the intake to return over the radiator fan and curve down underneath the water resivoir.

on the canister side of the intercooler it will meet up with the one origional pipe ramaining.

Yeah Leigh, that is the carbon canister I was referring to.

As Slide said, you are bringing the return pipe up the wrong side of the engine. It comes up the left hand side of the engine bay and crosses over between the fan and the front of the engine.

thanks for the replys guys i understand what you are saying but it looks like either through complaince or some guy over in japan may have relocated it or else i am just retarted i will take some photos of it later today and post it up but see the attached pic which you posted slide i have put a red circle around where the black canister.

The canister is on the passenger side. You are going to make the hole in the drivers side.

Have a look at your own pics.

Enjoy

ahhhhhhhh i am going crazy i know the hole has to go on the drivers side but the canister is ON THE DRIVERS SIDE ;) thats it i am getting photo's in like 2 hours hehe i will post em up to show you what i mean :confused:

I know what you mean leech hehe Your talking about the big black canistor on the drivers side. (circled in thepic???) Mine has it there as well if that isnt where its supposed to be.. ?

To save your sanity.. slap the intercooler up, if its in the way just move it somewhere else its only got like 1 or 2 bolts holding it on. My intercooler has the intake/return pipes going in the same direction, so it isnt a problem for me.. but it does look like it would get in the way...hmm

Have it relocated to the passenger side where it should be.

Ive seen complianced lines that have them on the radiator support at the front and at the back over the turbo hanging off the strut tower but never on the drivers side because the line comes out near the aircon comp and up the side of the radiator whether it be at the front or back out on the drivers side?

Your cars weird but awaiting pics

justin yea i am saying mine is about where that silver thing is showing in yours maybe a little higher but not much. Anyways got some photo's on the gf's camera but dont have the software at my place i will get her to email them to me tomorrow morning and should have them up by 11ish hopefully :)

its the canister, some are biggger even 3 times the size of most.

Ide move it to the corner at the back right hand side (some have abs here)

All of the bigger ones ive seen were mounted near the turbo but away from the heat ill post pics when i can take one

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
