Just got my Skyline gts-t 33 back after it was sitting for 4 months and i think i have got a blockage and would just like to know where it is located on the car so i can have a look.

MIne is on the drivers side of the engine next to the strut tower, big shiny silver sucker.

Pop the bonnet, and keep looking

Not sure how to describe it in words, drivers side near the strut tower on my R33, a little closer to the brake fluid reservoir....

Im lost then

^ Its getting the hoses off mate..

[some_cs_student]

Hot water helps, but trying to get the hot water anywhere near the fuel hose if you have aftermarket parts near the fuel filter make it hard.

Trying to get the hose off takes forever if it hasn't been done for a long time

I must have been lucky, mine was easy.

Mine were damn near impossible to remove. I figure if they're that old practically melted on, then they're not worth having. So I just cut em off and replaced the lot. Fuel hose is pretty cheap thankfully.

Thats the way.

Have some spare hose with you before you start. Because as many have done, you sometimes need to slice them off.

And a supply of paper towels and band aids (for the hand you will mash against a sharp bracket)

start car

open boot

pull fuel pump fuse (top 15a fuse)

car will stall

loosen fuel cap

start/turn car over until lines are clear

cut the old hose&filter off at each end and remove as a complete assembly (if its easy to remove its probably been done before so skip replacement)

replace with new hose (1/2" about 600mm req'd) and new filter (Z200)

[Binofski]

+1 to that

Waste of time to try n keep the old stuff, easier to cut it all off and get some fresh stuff

take hose off top of fuel filter, get friend to switch car onto 'ON' position with a lighter burn the excess fuel that comes out of the hose...this doesnt fix anything but you can impress your mates with your flamethrower..
