Man........if you find that out, we'll both be happy!! wish I knew more about 'sikaflex' and if it's actually good sh1t !

So TOBY, whether it is a pos or neg pressure (Merli suggests a negative pressure) ,in the tank at any time, as i take it there is supposed to be, hence the tight fitting cap (plus anti spill), ......would no pressure at all be bad for the fuel delivery system. Or my brain cells..(da ones I got left) in the way of fumes?

Woah! this is incredible.... BOBJONES mentions a rust problem (where abouts mate?), this is not a good look!! PANDAm mentions cup holders.....are they not capable of taking 375ml cans when the loose piece of plastic in the centre console is inverted? (if yours is still in the car.) Auto-door-lock was an interesting one also, do all 32 and/or 33's have this function..(or are they supposed to have this function..mine doesn't). I was expecting petrol consumption to be subjective due to our various mods, but I'd imagine that 150kms on $20.00 would be just acceptable..(when we're not driving silly) Keep em coming, I'm sure there is more.. The RUST issue really interests/concerns me. And I was waiting for someone to mention those 'pesky' opaque but potentially beautiful headlights on the 33!! (SEWID). Stay Safe, SUPERSPIT

check all of your rubber induction hoses and clamps....these were loose/leaky on mine delivering similar results.

Thanx Sewid, practical advice. I did not realise how popular this thread would become, thanx everyone!!

you see, it's like fishing.........you throw the line into the place that has the most FISH

imagine that

Ace!

You do infact make a very good point SEWID. There are definate 'sections' to the way this site works. But I'm wondering if someone who is new to SKYLINES, will then be equally as new to how this forum, or any forum works. I'd like to believe that not only is this site good for our 'general knowledge', but equally as good for making a friend or two along the way (?). The Kids and I will attempt to make an effort to utilise the forums the way you want us to. But my concern is that we'll lose new members if they feel like they're being treated in a 'patronising' and 'insignificant' way. This is just the way I feel at the moment......no, infact it is the way I feel......full stop. To all new members, and I am sort of one of them, have fun, enjoy your ace cars, stay safe....and if I can help you at all.......ace! Put your questions forward any way you can, in any place you can, and I hope you get da ansa yo lookin 4 !! SUPERSPIT

Thanx DARK, Can't get the page via my work 'puter, I'll try it from home. Mark.

All very good points, passenger window switch bugs me too!! And I'm sure we'll all agree that even after 10 plus years, she's still a hornbag looker of a car !!! WHAT ELSE ?..........KEEP GOING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

quite right!!!! ta!

WILL DO, ta.

Special Glue Used DAN ?

thanx CR33 Do u think that pressure, or lack there of, can create performance problems in the fuel delivery department, or compromise safety at all?

always nice if u can help a fellow SKLINER..!! thanx friend

AH HAH!!!..........now that u mention it Z, my filler spout does look new (and dodgy) and aftermarket. ..........mmmmmmmmmmmm WOT 2 DO ??????? Thanx sooo much Zahos!! Keep em coming in everyone!!!!!!!!! this is interesting stuff...starting to make sense a little....

Thanx SEWID... Production technique Seems Logical, inconsistency in other's standard fuel cap's isn't. Ta.

Cheers Prakesh, Ok...I suppose it would be faster for me to tell u what oil filter to use rather than telling you that it's the wrong Forum.........no offence SEWID. I did my oil last nite. Used Cooper (blue part No. 1010) Z145A@ $9.00 Helix Ultra Shell @$49.95 Nulon E20 (super slippery) additive @ $12.95 (I've always used this stuff) If that part helps!!!?? Mark.

Are we talking about the same 'pshhhhh' sound J2000? Coming from the cap? Thanx mate.

Jimbo seems to have the right noise... I know my cap works on the S13 Silvia, but not the other way around. (by working I actually mean making the pressure noise on unscrewing) Surely there must be some consistancy here? Thanx 33NIZ, Mark

please keep responses coming....I need a definate answer for this one...I'm loosing brain cells thru the fumes!! I'm sure it's got something to do with the cap, and maybe 'blow-back'. thanx!!

Hi, STANDARD FUEL CAPS. I don't think mine is the right one. Even though it says Nissan on it, it doesn't seem to keep pressure in the tank at all. I have determined this from not hearing any 'pshhhhhhhhhh..' sound when I undo the cap. I swapped over the cap with my mum's S13 Silvia, and still no 'built-up-pressure' sound at the petrol station. Also, if the conditions are 'right', I can see that hazy petrol 'vapour' pouring from the fuel flap, and sometimes the smell inside the cabin is quite bad, (girlfriend hates it...I do too). I am wondering if this could be causing the smell inside my car. All else looks OK, no leaks..etc. Cars performance seems ok (seems!!!). I know the car has been involved in a 'rear' accident in Japan. (How bad? ...Don't know) Is there an 'identifier' on the cap that clearly states it to be R33 specific? Thanks, Mark.

Hi Skliner's, Every R33 owner I have spoken to about their car always seem to have a deep feeling of 'affection' for their car,....more so, I believe, than many other owners of 'other' types of cars. Being in the lucky position of owning a beautiful white 95 GTST, I Know first hand why we feel this way. On the other side of this, is there anyone who feels that the R33 has any design faults, things you don't like, stuff you'd get changed in a heart-beat, things that 'pi5s you off'. Not just mechanicals (if any), but interior, exterior, quality of systems, ride quality (before and after you modded it) etc. I would like any comments on what YOU FEEL about YOUR R33. I don't know too much about the fantastic R32, because I don't own one..but pls feel free to comment aswell,.....if you like!!
