Okay i thought this would be really easy but for some reason i'm having a difficult time finding some fuel hose for my R33 GTST.

I was finishing a long trip the other day when my car suddenly stunk like petrol. Pulled over straight away and found my fuel hose (near fuel filter) had split and pissed petrol everywhere. NRMA came and put in a new one but as they didn't have any high pressure stuff they only put in non-EFI hose and told me to take it easy and change it asap.

The hose on there is 3/16" and trying to find this in EFI has proven diffficult, tried repco, autobarn and supercheap.

Does anyone know if this is the correct size hose even?? Or is it actually supposed to be bigger. I didn't keep the old hose so i don't know what it was originally, and he replaced both sides of the filter.

Also anyone got any other ideas where i can buy some?

I'm from inner west sydney by the way.

Cheers

non-EFI only handles like 100psi or something, the other stuff handles like 900 or so i think (not sure if thats correct values).

SW20GT - Nah i didn't ask for fuel line for gtst, asked for 3/16" (4.8mm) EFI fuel line. They looked for a few mins and said they didn't have the correct size, only had 5/16" or something like that.

I'll go back today and try again, if its still no good i'll try enzed or pirtek like siks suggested.

Finally got it all sorted, BHDave was right, it was 5/16" i needed. Looks like when i got my 100K service done and they replaced my fuel line from the top of the filter to the manifold, they put the wrong size hose on, a 3/16" one.

This time i checked the one that the NRMA guy put on (the one below the filter, which is the one that burst) and realised it was 5/16".

Wish i had've read BHDaves reply earlier, bloody mech that replaced the fuel line must've been a dud.

Quick question, will the fact that the fuel hose was too small have starved the engine of petrol at higher revs?? I'd noticed it wasn't running as well as usual but don't know if that was the cause.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
