there is a hole in the leather boot... but i dont think i'd get that much through there.
My money's on the fuel filter r31's are notorious for it the clamps are flat stainless steel and cut into the hose and small cracks develop leaking fuel in a mist because of the pressure,of course you have to do them up tight because of the fuel injection pressures,so regular maintenance to the hoses is the key even replacing them now and again as they are relatively short pieces.Grey Pearl.

I have a R33 GTS-T and get the smell of vapours when the tank is between a quarter and 3/4 full.

The fuel lines connecting to the tank seem fine, no splits or cracks - but one thing I noticed is that when I start the car, I can see fumes and vapour hissing out from below the fuel cap (A pin size hole) - a relief valve maybe?

also where you from , i could take a look oneday if your in brissy.
Giant, You are a champ mate,saying you would help a brother out for free, I imagine,people like you make the world a better place,and I mean that,only wish I knew someone like you in melb as these niggly problems like idle and vacuum leaks are easy meat for guys like you but we always get stuck with duds and pay through the nose. Personally if someone offered to help me like you have and was successful I would make it worth their while anyway, for fixing the headache without any fuss or pocket therapy.Cheers to you mate.Grey Pearl.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!

      I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
