R33 Sii - Carbon Canistor

[sam0633]

hey

bought my car a few months ago and noticed when comparing to a mates the other day that the nissan carbon canistor has been removed and someone has mounted a canistor with a mitsubishi part no on it over behind the LHF strut tower. seems to be all hooked up properly. Just wondering if anyone has come across this setup before or know why anyone would do it? my car was completely stock when i got it

I think it may have to be replaced as part of the compliance process. The rules may have changed slithly over the years so if your mates car was complied in an earlier year then it may not have been required to change it then? Mine came like yours.

Yeah, was just going to say that. Quite a few bits are outsourced to other manufacturers
