Hi guys,

I notice that when I start up my car or turn off the ignition, I can smell petrol. The smell is on the outside of the car and comming from the front.  Is this normal or do i really need to get this checked out? Does any one know why I can smell petrol?

thanks

kim

I had a fuel smell recently, I thought it came from the front as well. when you start your car look in your drivers side view mirror and see if you can see fuel fumes coming from the petrol filler door. if you can you need to pull out the little flapper plate and reseal it with a petrol tank repair putty.

It's easy to do just make sure you disconnect the tank pipe under your guard and you can remove the whole filler insert. and go from there. if you have any other questions let me know.

    • I did basically the same procedure on a ZF6HP but the reason to pull the valve body is to replace the seals between the valve body and the transmission which are notorious for leaking pressure with age causing poor shifting and burning out the clutches. If you just wanted to exchange all the fluid you should be able to undo one of the transmission cooler return lines to drain into a bucket while using the pressure filler to keep it topped off. 
    • The title should have posted "EFR7670 exhaust housing selection RB26" I can seem to edit thr title on my Android.
    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
