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.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
