Sbluatx Posted May 18, 2024 Share Posted May 18, 2024 The 4WD version is harder to find so I compared the parts diagrams of the two https://nissan.epc-data.com/stagea/whc34/5414-rb20de/engine/172/17453/ and https://nissan.epc-data.com/stagea/wgnc34/287-rb26dett/engine/172/17201/ seems like the same part is called out: 17201...what with WHC34 tank work?

Duncan Posted May 18, 2024 Share Posted May 18, 2024 You certainly can use a WGNC34 tank in a R32 GTR, they are different part numbers but functionally identical. I have some pics comparing them in the last few pages of my Stagea build thread BTW you can't trust the same part code "17201" to say it is identical, you need to use the VIN to get the 17201-xxxxx part number to be sure from a FAST point of view. Even then of course there are examples like this where there are 2 part numbers but they are interchangeable.

Putting aside the part where they are in fact interchangeable you need to know that Nissan part numbers don't work the way you think they work. The first half of the part number just means it's the same kind of part (fuel tank). The second half is what determines the specifics of that part. For example R32 GTR specific parts or something that originated with an R32 GTR is often 05U00. R33 GTR specific parts are often 24U00.

r32-25t Posted May 18, 2024 Share Posted May 18, 2024 Before you replace the tank, removed it and check all of the breather hoses and the seal for the level sender unit. I just bought all the hoses for mine because that was what I found after removing the tank 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/485512-gtr-r32-tank-leaking-can-i-use-stagea-whc34-tank/#findComment-7989895 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan Posted May 18, 2024 Share Posted May 18, 2024 Is WHC34 a 2 wheel drive Stagea? 4wd Stagea 100% fits, and I'd say 99% sure 2wd will too....they just used the GTR setup as that best suited the wagon floor. BTW I hope you saw Brett's post about potential reasons for a leak, unless you can see the plastic cracked somewhere, it is unlikely to be the tank itself leaking. Can you see fuel dripping or is it just a smell when you park? Have you had any of the tank/pump holder apart?

funkymonkey Posted May 19, 2024 Share Posted May 19, 2024 Thanks for jumping in guys, suggested @Sbluatx post here for help. Was hoping one of the guys with a RWD stages could confirm if the tank was the same as the AWD one Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/485512-gtr-r32-tank-leaking-can-i-use-stagea-whc34-tank/#findComment-7989911 Share on other sites More sharing options...
