Hi all, was changing my oil pressure sensor and broke the nipple on this fine can of emptiness last night, has 2 vac lines going to it... located under the intake runner/plenum thingy lol.

 

Thanks

Looks like your charcoal canister (part of the emission control system).

I thought that was the black canister located near the intake duct at the front near the radiator? 

Is there anyway to bypass this canister if so? or if its low pressure would super gluing the nipple back on work?

That is the vacuum tank reservoir for the dual plane manifold it stores vacuum and switches the length of the intake manifold from short to long for added power and no you cannot fix them, you need a new one. Try Partsouq they are usually awesome.

It is just a dumb canister though, isn't it?  In which case, anything of similar volume with a hose barb on it can do the job.  An EFI fuel filter, for example (with one of the hose barbs sealed off by your dodgy means of choice).  Or you could make one up out of a short bit of ~2" ally tube and some ally sheet if you're a fab nut.

Not quite as easy as that, the white part has a non return section in it to hold max vacuum attained. But what would I know I only sectioned one to find out what it did. Didn't you notice the other barb by his left forefinger. Talk about dodgy.

The variable intake actuator is activated via solenoid using stored high (idle or closed throttle) vacuum. The solenoid is activated on and off by ECU it is closed by the solenoid venting the actuator to throttle chamber (low vac at high revs) and closing it. At higher revs there would simply not be enough vac to operate the actuator.

Very early Chev's and Fords used them to run the windscreen wipers, they were common after market additions for old Holdens with low manifold vac (for advancing distributor) they are still made by Summit Racing but the original Nissan part is cheaper and available from Japan through Amayama.

Picked up a second hand canister from a wreckers today for $12 so easy as. Cars now back together and all good!

      Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.

      Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers

      This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?
