Most R33, they have it sitting near the air Box,

but some how mine is on the driver side, under the guard. Not in the engine bay, its siting like a SMIC position, but on the driver side.

Bought it that way, and its 1 huge mathafaka. I seen other small canister, but my is like 3-4 times bigger!

I've just been looking at my carbon canister and things don't seem right. Mine is in the drivers side guard. It has 3 fittings on the top, one is going to the tank, one to air, and one to the manifold. The hose coming off the throttle is blocked off. Is this a factory item or something that's been put on later? How should it be plumbed in, ie should the throttle hose be connected? There's no markings for where the fittings are meant to go.

There are three lines to the canister.

The most important of which comes from the fuel tank. Do not just blank this off or worse, leave the open end near your nice, hot turbo.

The other two lines connect into the engine intake.

The canister can be relocated to the RHD drivers side after you move the battery to the boot. Happilly the two connections to the engine intake are plumbed across the front of the motor. So you can use one of them to reconnect the fuel tank line to the relocated cannister. The two lines from the engine intake are then nice & close to the cannister & are easy to hook up.

That is what I did anyway.

Post #12 if you read it, is pretty self explanatory.

Not quite, the one I have is Australian made so I assume it was added during compliancing. The factory one seems to have had 2 connections for the intake, this one only has 1. Currently it has 1 air, 1 fuel and 1 intake line. Is it worth getting a replacement stock one, or stick with what I've got? If I stick with it, is the line to the intake better plumbed into the throttle body or manifold, or maybe use a t piece and connect it to both? Is a connection to air even needed?

Is your car turbo? - sounds like your cannister is missing the purge valve on top, meaning its for a NA car usually.

The connection is needed to draw fumes from the cannister into the motor, and bring fresh air from in underneath.

Good question about where you put that single line. As theres no boost pressure to worry about, id say hook it up to the plenum... someone correct me if im wrong, i haven't worked on a non turbo car in like a decade :D

My car's a gts-t, which is what got me worried. I suspect this canister is some cheapy, and that if it doesn't have a valve built in then it's letting boost in. The tank always seems to have a lot of pressure when I open it, and i sometimes get weird blow off valve type sounds from the guard so it's time to get hold of a stock one and put things right again...

the top fitting on my canister has been melted off with a lighter. it looks as tho this is one of the two that goes to the manifold, was just hoping it wasnt the one that vents back to the fuel tank. this could be a reason that my engine is running so rich...

Hi,

I've seen a post on here before about this but I can't find it anywhere after doing numerous searches :) So ill just ask again :D

What I wanted to know is how do I get rid of or re-rout that charcoal canister thing in front passenger side of the engine bay. If anyone knows how to do this or even know what im talkin about if you could help me out it would be great thanks.

Cheers

If you want to do this to get more power don't waste your time. People used to do this back in the days of 186's and 202's. It made a difference on these cars cos the 202 or 3.3L as some would call it, had only 101kw at the flywheel.

If you want more power get a bigger turbo.

If you absolutely must do this then just block the vac lines to the manifold and leave the fuel purge line just hanging there. Expect to smell fuel vapours in the cabin.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
