I agree with Mike,

Had this problem and it turned out that the seals and plugs around the injectors were buggered plus I had a couple of dodgy injectors. Was a noticeable fuel smell from under the bonnet and so this may be an indicator for you. May also be a combination of other problems as well for you

hey man

first place I'd seriously check if it's smelling in the interior is the fueltank to fuelpump holder o-ring

These tend to fail or not be installed properly on most(well the past 3 I've had)

Bascially undo the 6 nuts, lift it about 2-3cm, feel around for the grove and seal

the seal usually is either not there or has moved from the grove

It it's moved push it into the groove

If it's not there, you need a new one from nissan :S can't remember the part number to be honest, to replace it, remove the fuelpump holder put the seal in, then put the pump back in

If it's fine, yeah as above, leaky injectors, fuel filler cap or leaking lines

i just had the same thing in my car mate - smelt fuel inside and around my car...but there were NO leaks on the ground. i chucked the car up on the hoist and you could see fuel covering the fuel tank (tiny pinhole leak) - had to replace one of the lines and get a new fuel tank from the wreckers...

be careful because if you scrape over a speed bump and you make a spark and it turns out to be what i think it is..u can be in a lot of trouble.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
