Hi guys

I have a '96 gts-t, which hs just started playing up tonight. When on idle it will sometimes 'hunt' usually upwards the sometime splutter and die this is only occuring when i let the car idle. Driving around it's fine until I come to a set of traffic lights. Car has had no mods for the last two weeks, so its nothing I have done.

I suspect its a fuel filter or pump.

I pulled into the servo to top up with fuel just incase I was running too low, and I noticed the fuel filler neck looked odd. Is is possible for someone to post a pic of their fuel filler, I have a nasty feeling the filler has fallen into the tank and caould be causing the problem. But 'm not sure, is it even possible?

Can someone with a 33 please help me out, and post up a pic.

Thanks

Nick...

Thanks for the help guys, i'm pretty sure the brass bits were there before. It looked odd when i put fuel in, but i wasn't sure. When I fish the little f_ck3r out will i need to glue it back in or anything, or should it just clip in?

Also has anyone ever heard of this before? Or is it a new one for the skyline medical journals?

Looks like your going to have to do battle with the big plastic nut on the top of the fuel tank to get the bits out. May the force be with you, and failing that a nice strong lump of wood and a big old hammer.

Ok, compliance pisses me off. They stretch your fuel filler neck to fit that spastic brass thing in. This means that your petrol cap won't seal properly against the filler neck anymore without it. Downright pisses me off, because those stupid restrictors always come lose after time.

If mine ever comes lose, i'm going to source a filler neck which hasn't been 'complianced' and replace it.

leave it out... its the first compliance thing i remove on all my cars.... im lazy and hate having the unleaded restrictor in there especially when filling up at the airport :)

So does the filler cap not create a proper seal then? Wouldnt you get fuel splashing out when going around corners??

I had an issue where my filler wasnt sealed properly, and it spills fuel all over the track when i'm cornering hard..

It won't seal. Your tank cap seals against the filler restrictor - correct? yes

Therefore, the restrictor's cap opening is the same size as the original - yes.

I know because I watched the pricks comply my car. They used this air tool that expands the opening. They use a little bit of that squishy metal stuff. the metal glue that you squish in your hand until it becomes warm, then it sticks.

    • 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! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • 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.
