If you have no idea about cars, stop driving it and take it back to your mechanic asap!

If your smelling lots of fuel something is definitely wrong. And yes fuel is flammable so it could be dangerous.

I agree with the above, stop driving it because you are clueless. I see 2 things happening. Scenario 1, the fuel is leaking in the enginebay and starts a fire, possibly a write-off situation. Scenario 2, the engine is being starved of fuel and running lean, the engine will run super hot and throw a bearing(s), melt pistons & valves, crack the piston rings, break the conrods etc, resulting in a rebuild that is going to cost 2k+.

good to see it sorted lad, lesson learnt eh?

PS. I recently found out the hard way when i was rushing to get my car on the dyno the other week, didnt seat 2 of the injectors lower seals properly..result=fuel blowback on boost=one dyno run=$200 wasted=lesson learnt, dont rush:)

I think the lesson learnt here, is when spending so much money on the injectors themselves, is to spend that extra $40ish for a new set of genuine injector o-rings/seats from Nissan.

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
