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.

Wish I didn’t break it in anger now ?

Don't beat yourself up Nathan, I broke one being careful,they are as fragile as a politician's ego

Did you buy one new? 

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!

thanks again for explaining what it was.. interesting stuff

    • Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts
    • Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.
    • stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.
    • Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?
    • Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
