ok I'll try to explain to you without picture...

1.open the boot.

under you battry, more likely directly under the fuse box.

there should be a Gray square panel with 4 screws... - if you unscrew them that's the access into the fuel tank. (I believe fuel tank is kidney shaped).

and if you pull put white cap - it will contain long cylinder instrument and HEAPS of WIRES!!! yes in the fuel tank!! wires.

Please be careful and DO NOT UN-DO (unplug) black horse - its fuel line - one for IN and ONE FOR OUT (returning back to fuel tank) - be very careful cuz if you just unplug them it will SPEW out all the fuels. :) not good.

sorry about da gramatical and spelling mistake ;)

BTW what is the problem? is your fuel (Tank) sensor broken?

cheers

thanks for the reply glue...

well the problem is, the car was working fine... then the next thing i knew the thing wont start... had a mechanic look at it and he say it cud be the fuel pump, had other stuff checked out and they are all fine... what happends is u turn the ignition the engine turns but doesnt stay running, there is fuel in the tank (about last quarter) but when u hear the engine it sound like there is no fuel, it'll turn the engine but then it dies, and i dont hear the usual liquid gushing sound (not sure if u'll know what i mean) when u turn the key to the ignition point.... so next thing to check out is the fuel pump....

anyone else have any ideas what it might be???? the car just wouldnt start, there was nothing indicating anything was wrong... she was sweet, it just sounds like i got no fuel

thanks again for the info....

will check it soon as i have the time

peace

to check the pump, get some one to turn the ignition key on, while you lightly kink the fuel hose in the engine bay, if it pressurises and tries to unkink itself its fine, dont mess around in the tank for no reason. Also you should be able to hear it, stick ur head in the boot or under the back of the car and listen for it as someone else turns the ignition on.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
