Hi guys,

When I bought my R34 all the vac hoses were muddled and I'm in need of some help as I cannot find the information anywhere else.

Firstly, is it completely ok for the charcoal cannister to be removed from a r34? As it has the Solenoid Valve which controls the purge. Do I just block everything off except for the fuel tank breather?

I am currently using a manual boost controller and the OEM solenoid is disconnected. Is it perfectly ok to connect it to this nipple on the hot side of the intercooler piping straight to the wastegate actuator?

Where does the nipple on the BOV recirculation pipe need to be connected to? This is the nipple just before the BOV line goes back into the intake.

It can just be seen here where the vac line connects (on the left)

Cheers

Wastegate line should be fed from as close to the turbo outlet as possible to the actuator. I think the vac line you have pictured (coming from the intake tube to the turbo) is for the stock boost solenoid and was blocked off on mine

The BOV needs a feed from the intake manifold because you need the vacumm under closed throttle to help lift the BOV off its seat

Thanks, I've now blocked off the recirc pipe and the pipe going to the canister control solenoid.

Only confused about the lines running out of the canister, there are two and both go to hard lines. They then split and run down each side of the vehicle, i've traced the passenger side one back to the fuel tank but I can't find where the one of the drivers side goes.

Why not leave the hoses/charcoal cannister connected? There is no power gain to be had by removing them and if the car is registeted for the road the cops can give you a defect notice

Yeah as above.

Just trying to remember what lines go were. I had mine hooked up wrong for ages and it wasnt letting the fuel tank breathe real well.

I think one line goes to the tank (sounds like that one is connected), 1 goes to the throttle body vac port (cooler side of TB), one goes to the intake manifold, and I think one is just a vent near the wheel arch? Not sure about the 4th line

I might order some hoses to replace the split ones but for now wanted to eliminate that as a possible cause for a missfire issue I have.

I've tried -

Spark plugs .8mm

Fuel filter

Boost leaks

Reverted boost back to stock.

O2 sensor

Ordered split fires, any other ideas? Missfire is mostly below 4k rpm.

Cheers

Missfire can mostly be noticed below 4k rpm.

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
