Hi guys,

I'm new on here, but found the forum really good so far. The faq section and how to's have been awesome! Replaced my AC control lights using the guide on there... made it really easy

Anyway i have a quick question. I picked up a 97 Stagea RS4 the other day and have been going over it and found the charcoal canister has been disconnected (fuel line is sill hooked up, but the vacuum lines have been disconnected). I've searched and searched for the stagea setup and even looked for the skyline setup, but need to know exactly where the standard lines go for it.

Can someone with theirs hooked up give me a couple of photos of where the lines go? i know one goes to the throttle body, but just want to check and find out where the other one goes.

Thanks in Advance!

My carbon canister is no more but here is someone else'e post (not sure if its from an R33) but you get the idea i.e at least one line to petrol tank and one to in front of throttle body.

You should see there is a round looking protrusion (purge valve) on the top of the canister. A small hose goes to the upper fitting on that from just in front of the throttle body. Then the slightly larger purge hose is directly under that and it runs to the manifold just after the throttle body. The hose from the tank goes to the other side of the canister on it's own. There is also a fresh air intake hose that runs from the underneath of the canister into the chassis rail that drags in some fresh air when the canister is purging at medium to high revs

Thanks for that!

Really looking for a couple of pictures on where to hook them up. I can see the nipple for the one in from of the tb, but can't seem to find the other one.

Also read that its up to a $11k EPA fine for not having it hooked up, so if your car is road going you may want to consider hooking it up!

    • Nissan/Pitwork is fine stuff. HKS is just marketing wank. I personally wouldn't do the idler if it is already new. If it looks and feels fine, it is fine. But as D says - it's cheap to add it to the job. The water pump ditto. Even more so. If it show no signs of problems, then it is nearly new - leave it.
    • 1. I can't see a location on your profile but you do mention GBP so I'll assume you are in UK. In Australia, CBC make a timing belt kit with the gears and idler and tension bearing and that is what I use without any problems. I'm sure OEM or HKS are also fine but I wouldn't pay extra for HKS over anything else. 2. Yes, I would always change the idler and tensioner and the stud and bolt that hold them in. Assuming they were all done last time it is highly unlikely you would have a problem, but they are very cheap to add to the job considering the time it will take anyway.  3. No, you don't need to lock them as such (I think that is more for engines without timing marks), but you should make sure they move as little as possible once the belt is off as you can hit pistons on valves if they move too far. As always, make sure you line it all up to top dead centre with the timing marks aligned before you take the old belt off.

    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
