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.

Bloody awesome help mate! I guess I shall now try find one locally, if not online it is lol. 

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

    • Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.         
    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
