I just changed my RB25DET injectors to 740cc Tomei injectors. I am having a really really heavy petrol smell when i drive/stop/idle my car, is this normal? its really heavy petrol smell, no joke............my whole house can smell it if i didnt close the door to the garage when i get home........ any other way to make it not smell that heavy?

DOesnt sound tuned properly if its running rich as hell.

Do you have a cat converter?

pretty sure i have a cat converter , i have to ask my mechanic about that man, if he tuned it running too rich..i probably need to ask him retune it.....i will give him a call tomorrow to make sure! thanks

The fuel indicates leaking injector seals. Leaked fuel vaporize and you smell it through the cabinet. It will likely to leak or leak more violently under high boost pressure.

i smell it in and out of my car...............driving me crazy man!! so smelly!!!!!!!!!

champ if it is leaking from the injectors, the smell could be the least of your worries if your still driving this vehicle.. fire is a mutha f*ka in your pride and joy

get it sorted asap.

fire? are you serious?lol........i need to wait till next mon or tues to get it check man but i still need to drive this beast to work tomorrow!

If fuel is absolutely pissing out at the injector (but we don't know where yet), it's possible fuel can get inside the injector plug and start a spark that will ignite the fuel in the enginebay.

from what i see, there is no fuel/oil leaking around my injector......but i cant see some of them ...its inside the thing.......

If you paid a mechanic to install these injectors, you should take it back to him to find the source of the smell.

And yes, the smell is vapor. Vapor is the thing point in which fuel goes boom best.

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
