does it happen to be when the engines cold? thats when the most fuel is being pumped into the engine and i sometimes get that smell. its normal.

but if its just when your driving then you may have an exhaust leak.

hey guys,

i have an r33 non-turbo and every now and then i get a strong smell of petrol in the cabin. im just wondering if anyone would know where it would be comming from and how i could fix it?

cheers.

have u inspected all the hoses n pipes 4 leaks in the car front 2 back???

also inspect the fuel filler neck. during compliance they put in a new fuel filler insert to accomodate the australian fuel nozzles, sometimes they don't seal it properly and you will get fuel leaking when you turn left. mine used to do this when i first got it. pulled out the insert, cleaned up all the old sealant and put some Selley's "knead it" around the insert and pressed it back in. hasn't leaked since.

yeah it is when the engines cold, not too sure if any new work has been done i only brought the car about 3 weeks ago. i is due for a 200k service if that would effect it. haven't had time to have a go at fixing it. hopefuly one of you guys is right, cheers for the feed back. skyline australia is so much easyer to get info from rather then ford forams which i used to uce because i had an el.

Dude.. at 200,000 km. in Australias Hot conditions I got $100 that sais is the hoses in the boot.

Continue to follow the lines through th chassis too. May need replaceing and as Matt said, canister hoses. And watch your fuel consumtion bottom out :P

200k .. =\ theres your reasoning..

Hoses for sure. Its gonna' be annoying following them through the whole cabin, but your gonna' have to do it.

Also check seals and all.

I was dreading my 100k service.. but 200 seems worse now lol.

damn this is the problem im having too lol

i used some special hard glue shiet and it works for awhile then ends up popping off.

i tried metal epoxy b4 and that shiet is strong as.

but ill try this knead it sealant next time round if it pops off again.

if i dont wash the car for a week, i can see petrol splash marks from the petrol cap to the rear bar lol

    • Yeah good luck out there! Will be good to see a mighty GTST going harder than the GTRs
    • i will be there 😁
    • 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! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
