PURPOSE:
The evaporative emission system is used to reduce hydrocarbons emitted into the atmosphere from the fuel system. This reduction of hydrocarbons is accomplished by activated charcoals in the EVAP canister.
The fuel vapor in the sealed fuel tank is led into the EVAP canister which contains activated carbon and the vapor is stored there when the engine is not operating or when refueling to the fuel tank.
The vapor in the EVAP canister is purged by the air through the purge line to the intake manifold when the engine is operating.
EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve is controlled by ECM. When the engine operates, the flow rate of vapor controlled by EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve is proportionally regulated as the air flow increases.
EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve also shuts off the vapor purge line during decelerating and idling
Once you remove it your engine light will illuminate shortly there after. If you are in an emissions testing state, you will never pass emissions tests again, Your best bet is to relocate the canister.

Where I come from these cars are called Navara D22's, diesels only too, I have to assume it has at a minimum a single point injection system fitted which might look like a carburettor to the untrained eye. Having a evap canister fitted surely means it has spi, it will need at least 80/90psi of fuel pressure.
Hope this helps

You can relocate the canister, but you can't remove it.
It's part of the emissions system and will cause your vehicle to have a constant check engine light or not be able to pass inspection.
It's also illegal to remove it for on-road use. But it's not really illegal until you get caught not having it.
At any rate, good luck.

attempt to be fantastic, My hubby has an 03 nissan frontier crew cab 4x4 witha short mattress. If he turns the front wheel to the part he can get his suzuki (DRZ 400 with a dualsport equipment) contained in the decrease back with the mattress down. he secures it with some ties. I keep attempting to communicate him right into a mattress extender, yet he doesn't opt for to take heed to it!
