Dose Pipe Sutututu Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 That's your recommendation to someone who lives in Melbourne? Really? I am assuming the stock one is still there, I have seen many skylines with the stock charcoal canister looped into the aftermarket charcoal canister. I was suggesting to remove that fugly compliance one and only run the stock one.

GTSBoy Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I've never seen a compliance charcoal canister. Ever. Can you show me a picture of one?

Dose Pipe Sutututu Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 That massive one in the top pic, I've seen a few R33 with that looped back into the stock one. Mine was the same, took it off and just used the stock R33 OEM one. The stock one sits bolt next to the LHS passenger headlight, has a small u shaped hose which connects to the fuel tank. THe other 2 goes to the plenum.

GTSBoy Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I didn't even open his pictures. I just assumed it was a shot of the factory location (glancing at the thumbnails). When did they start fitting those to incoming cars? As I said, I've never seen one, and I've been under the bonnets of hundreds of Skylines over the years.

89CAL Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) Theres 2 Vac lines going nowhere in the second photo that look the right length? usually there are labels on the top. From memory vent goes to fuel tank vent, purge goes to throttle body (or IC side of plenum) boost feed and the other one goes to a plenum boost/vac feed. Those last 2 might be wrong way round but gives you some idea anyway. Stock charcol canister is mounted at the front on a bracket with 2 bolts holding it to the crossbrace for the radiator (Top) Edited January 31, 2013 by 89CAL Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/418775-help-needed-what-is-this-part-and-where-to-hook-up-to/#findComment-6730123 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially fresh ones at dealers, I believe most people just rip them out, bin them and use the stock one.

GTSBoy Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Looks the same. Probably slightly smaller. Sits against inside of radiator support panel between rad and headlights. If it's not there, don't rip out the big one. Consider relocating it to where the original one was.
