So hard to explain! Its the part where the 2 cables join that has the white plastic spring that forms the release for the fuel lid.

Basically just trying to work out how it is mounted as mine is floating around in the boot at the moment. It looks like it clips in somehow but mine stay there so I suspect 'something' is missing.

Let me know if that's makes sense, if not ill take pics.

On mine, the fuel release is screwed in, put I've seen push in types with a spring clip on the end rather than a thread.

** MEANT TO SAY PLASTIC NUT, NOT SCREW :rolleyes:

The fuel lid release appears to be the only part that keeps the bracket mounted firmly.

If you need more pics let me know.

Awesome! That's perfect. Mine is missing the plastic nut and looks like the thread has snapped off.

Is the U12 part mentioned in the parts list a direct replacement for the plastic bit? Might have to see what Nissan are asking for them.

Bump. Can anyone confirm this or does anyone have a plastic release for sale? Need one by next week.

Thanks guys,

Ended up finding one on a Ford Corsair (same shape as a U12 Pintara) in Melton. I was super excited, removed it and took it home only to realise the Pintara/Corsair have a passenger side filler and Cefiro has a drivers side.

This meant the little angled piece was facing the wrong way. The plastic piece can be rotated but it requires grinding out the little stud that holds one of the arms together. I did this, rotated the arm, but it back together and then put a small bolt and nyloc nut through the hole to secure it together.

$20 later and I have a working fuel lid and boot again (took me a while to work out the boot as the safety latch keeps dropping down on its own...)

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
