Hey. Just wondering, just bought a r33 and not sure what a few thing's under the bonnet are for? This pic and also, i have a T piece that has alot of little hose's attached too it, will get a pic of that later. Car is a 1996 series 2 gts25t.

Any help would be good.

thanks.

Charcoal canister - for emmissions.

on that same note... see how the hoses coming out of this 'charcoal canister' connect to the goldy coloured pipes under the cross over pipe...

why is thair only one connected in our Stagea and the other one blocked off?

is there some sort of performance upgrade related to this?

As far as I know is supposed to eliminate Evaprotive hydrocarbon emissions from the fuel tank by either recirculating them into the intake air (when engine running) or absobing them into the Carbon inside the canister (When engine not running).

Have been told that these charcoal canisters are worthless for this task less than two years after the car has rolled off the production line.... :)

That said, Mr highway patrol and his RTA/EPA mates will happily add you to their defect quota list if they notice that a car originally fitted with one no longer has it fitted. :P

sorry to hijack the thread, but does anyone know what the little box at the back corner of the engine bay on the drivers side does? it has a vacuum hose go in and wires come out. the vacuum hose is connected to the hose that goes to the factory gauge in the dash. (car is r33 gts-t)

its hard to search when you don't know what its called, and you can't seach with a picture.

pretty sure it's a MAP sensor

      R-chassis INNER tie rod torque spec?

      By hardsteppa · Posted

      Not sure if you're being serious? I, and all the car people i know, ALWAYS use a torque wrench for wheel nuts. I assumed any car person, apart from tyre centre monkeys with rattle gun in hand, would do it properly.  Anyway, no further reply from me on this unless legit discussion from OP or his query so, over to you, knock yerself out.

      I was wondering about this. I'll do some research.

      Why not? Since mines been built, I've used low boost maybe 5 times.

      gauge needle removal

      Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.

      Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
