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...)

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
