Hi just wondering a few things if anyone can point me to another relating topic or tell me off their head would be appreciated.

Car seems like it dumps fuel when put into neutral, RPM gauge goes to 0 and increases again, occasionally doesn't....so just wondering where the fuel filter is? Is this it in the photo. If so what is the replacement model? Do they have them in the booklet things or just go to repco and ask?

That and the fuel pump location.

What is this thing above the fuel tank under the metal plate?

As i want to redo my custom boot, and will probably put the amps above it (make shelves).

Will my BOV cause damage to the above side of my bonnet if it continues to damage the black straw stuff? Can this be prevented?

How do i get to the retractor for the seatbelt? do i have to remove the backseat; if so is there a tricky way to remove them or just unscrew the 2 bolts on the front? and does that casing just pop off? I found 1 screw that needs to be undone.

And where can i get a jack to fit in the slot in the boot, only skyline, or other model cars as well.

Cheers,

Julian

-Fuel filter is to the direct left of your finger (the golden 'circle' with the hose exiting towards your knuckles). Go to repco and ask for a fuel filter for an R33 GTST. Have fun replacing it, those hoses are an absolute bastard to get to and even more bastardly to get off.

-That thing above the fuel tank is the fuel tank lid surprisingly :D Guessing those lines are related to the fuel pump, sender and whatever else requires power inside the fuel tank. Probably a better idea to work around it as the last thing you want is your fuel pump dieing and having to tear all your sound equipment out to get to it.

-Doubt it would cause any visual damage to the top of the bonnet, more likely it will bend/ break the bov trumpet thing first.

-Behind the back seat, use the search function for tutorials on how to remove the backseat (its not fun)

-I left my skyline jacks (one from r32 which fit in the slot and the 33 one which came with the car) under a friends datsun a year ago and havent found another jack yet which fits in there, most are too long when retracted so probably best bet to find someone wrecking there R33 and buy theres

what he said^^.

the fuel filter is a piddly little thing from factory. get the z32 one - its almost twice the diameter = better flow. check the DIY/FAQ section. there is a tute on how to do this.

the seat is really easy to get off. unscrew the 2 bolts holding the bottom part of the seat down, shove a large spanner, screwdriver or anything with leverage capabilities under the seat, as close to the bolt position as poss and pull up. the seat backs are just held by 2 screws at the bottom end and then just lift up and off their hooks.

for the AAC valve refer to DIY section again

Well the AAC valve was dirty, bout 8months ago and i cleaned it out, bout 3 months later it started playing up again....i will look into changing the filter,,, haven''t been driving it because i have pulled the seats out.

The seat belts...the front seatbelt...the retractor does not work, the back one the spiral spring thing had a blow out, had a 2metre strip lieing in behind the back seat.

Im guessing these things have to be bought in whole...with the back one, wat about the casing cover (the one that fits in the black pillar) how do i remove this from the belt??

And the front one... how is the top pulley thing for the belt removed? Is it a click cover with a bolt underneath??? (cuz i have seen the back one)

And it seems like the belts have been changed b4 too. the dates describe it was manufactured in 2000 and its a 97model.

And can i get a recommendation on a fuel pump..are the normal ones shit? wat would be good 4 good price?

Anyone that can help me plz help...my car will stay off the road till i get the belts done.

Thanks,

Julian

Refit your std plumb-back valve, and your idle/stalling issues should go away.

I does not have one....But there is like 1000 dollars of blow off valve there, it gotta be something else its just gotta be :thumbsup:

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
