gday over the last few weeks i've noticed a little rust buildup in the fuel filler area which i am pretty sure wasnt there before

i've also been hearing a little buzz now and again which i'd like to ask about as i fear it might be the pump on its way out

it only lasts a split second and sounds a little like pop of static coming out of the speakers but it happens whan the radios off so i'm guessing its the pump as thats back there too and guessing that might have something to do with the rust

and lastly is that screw supposed to be there holding the flap open, i dont think it is but i never removed it after taking it off the past owner as i dont know why it was put there and what might happen if removed

thanks

could be the pump dealing with the fume pressure in your tank... are you running closer to empty?

when you open your fuel cap, do you hear it go pssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhh?

the same thing happens with my exa, but i dont have the rust problem though :D id say try and get rid of that asap!

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
