yep some places use a real large unit and place it there as ther is no room at the front for that size unit.

is it needed? Or can they be bought...for example if i wanted to get a smaller one! the thing looks horendous in my engine bay and id love to put a nice shiny oil catch can there :P

defect to not have it --- also the vent from the fuel tank needs to go somewhere..

hide it and leave it connected .. doesnt gain you anything to remove it.

the charcoal canister contains activated charcoal. i think fuel vapour from the tank goes into this and is absorbed by the charcoal

it doesnt hurt to have one of these.

smaller canister will generally mean that the activated charcoal will become fuel-saturated over time, im fairly sure

its an ADR that the charcoal canister is there

possibly you shouldnt take all of that as gospel though, i only learned it at tafe last semester... and i was fair hungover that day =D

What your saying makes perfect sense...so next time make sure you drink more!

I have no problems keeping mine in place its got a job and if it keeps the boys in blue happy heck ill leave it....i would like a smaller one though if it was possible lol

After half hour on google im not seeing anything...although the design is fairly straight forward so i cant see why these wouldnt be interchangable between car makes and models so wreckers might be an idea

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By MBS206 · Posted

      To expand on this to help understanding... The bigger/longer the block is, the more it's going to work to sit on your far away high areas, and not touch the low stuff in the middle. When you throw the guide coat, and give it a quick go with a big block, guide coat will disappear in the high spots. If those high spots are in the correct position where the panel should be, stop sanding, and fill the low spots. However, using a small block, you "fall off" one of the high spots, and now your sanding the "side of the hill". Your little block would have been great for the stone chips, where you only use a very small amount of filler, so you're sanding and area let's say the size of a 5/10cent piece, with something that is 75*150. For the big panel, go bigger!   And now I'll go back to my "body work sucks, it takes too much patience, and I don't have it" PS, I thought your picture with coloured circles was an ultra sound... That's after my brain thought you were trying to make a dick and balls drawing...

      Oh I probably didn't speak enough about the small sanding block for blocking large areas.  In the video about 3 minutes in, he talks about creating valleys in the panel. This is the issue with using a small sanding block for a large area, it's way too easy to create the valleys he is talking about. With a large block its much easier to create a nice flat surface.  Hard to explain but in practice you'll notice the difference straight away using the large block.

      Yep I guessed as much. You'll find life much easier with a large block something like this -  https://wholesalepaint.com.au/products/dura-block-long-hook-loop-sanding-block-100-eva-rubber-af4437 This is a good demo video of something like this in use -    You have turned your small rock chip holes into large low spots. You'll need to fill and block these low spots.  It's always a little hard not seeing it in person, but yes I would go ahead and lay filler over the whole area. Have a good look at the video I linked, it's a very good example of all the things you're doing. They went to bare metal, they are using guide coat, they are doing a skim coat with the filler and blocking it back. If what you're doing doesn't look like what they are doing, that's a big hint for you

      HR34 GT speedo issue

      By isf · Posted

      The odometer does go up when driving.  Does this tell it is an issue with the speedometer itself?    Where can I look for replacement cluster? Or speedo? I can likely do the repair.. Will ER34 cluster work on HR34? Or do I need a HR34 20GT S2 specifically lol
