the carbon canister is out, didn´t have the small hose on the fender that needed blocking off according to the write up, but it also mentioned that some peopple had written in to say they didn´t have it either, so that´s cool.

rerouted the feul tank breather pipe and then went to the engine bay. took the two right hand side intercooler pipes off, capped the small pipe on the throttle body and also the one that goes to the balance bar, as "instructed"

 

The problem is the write up says after removing the IC pipes

 

"Now look down toward the front of the car, just outside of where the large IC hose ran from the turbo down to the IC. Find the metal vacuum galley as shown"

 

I definitely do not have said "vacuum gallary":confused:

 

then

 

"Next trace back to where the vacuum lines are connected under the hood. The top line went underneath the driver side throttle body (TB), "

 

Not on mine it didn´t, the pipe connected to the throttle body went strait to the front of the car and dissapeared down the front somewhere.:confused:

 

 

can I ignore all that and have I capped off the right stuff.

 

any help greatly appreciated , as always :)

Don't forget that the instructions you are following are from the US - so drivers side would be the left. If you have the large boost pipes off then you should see a small metal hose under the throttle body on the L/H side of the vehicle. Then where the large pipe goes to the front of the vehicle you should find the 'tree' which is a series of metal pipes close together, you definately not got these?

defo don´t have them mate...and mine is a left hand drive US import...90 model ..manufactured 89 ...instructions were for a 92 model ..i´m guessing there´s the difference.

Hi there Maz,

Mega, will have to meet up sometime. Me and Jonce are both having Zed dramas at the mo LOL :headvswal:headvswal

sounds like a plan. I thought Jonce just had his car done

yeah he has, having dramas with the new gearbox! My drama is brakes.

So...has no one done a carbon canister removal/bypass on an 89-91 Z as I´m guessing that´s why the "gallery" of pipes etc mention in the write up are missing.

okay, not to worry. Just test drove the car after removing the carbon canister and capping the pipes recommended and she drives sweet. And for the first time in about 3 years when you open the petrol cap air gets sucked in as oppsed to blown out :)

 

sorted, and well happy.
