I was filling up yesteday and when i removed the nozel, the metal inlet came up a bit with it...hmmmmm, gave it a small pull with my fingers and the whole thing just popped out! There was a black glue like substane that held it in place, didn't look like much there and had deteriated a bit.

So my question, what do i use to glue it back in?

It must be something along the lines of Selly's no more gaps but obviously needs to be petrol resistant. Any ideas?

Thanks... :rolleyes:

yep..'gold'....

the no more nails used on my car came apart 6 months ago! what a joke!!

Anyways, the stuff above looks shit hot and shiny bright, use that...or...

Do what I've done, remove the remnents of gluey muck and that's it. Nice big hole now!!!

Oh yeah!!...I had to change my fuel filter as it got clogged from the goop they used to attach the adaptor and car wouldn't go!!

All ace now, but!!

Well i ended up using the Loctite stuff but not the one pictured above....it was a stip of blue/white stuff that you had to knead together..(remineded me of that redlight/green light chewing gum on Mission Impossible..haha) Cost me 9.99 It is super rock solid and for the first time ever, i got the psshhhh vacuum sound when opening the cap for my next fill. Must have worked!

As for not filling it right up...and crayons n easles....get working on Windows Paintbrush...i wanna know damn it !

Thanks peeps :(

Thought I was the only one in the world that has this problem. Only occurs on track days at Mallala S.A. Thought it was the cap so got a new genuine cap at Nissan. Next track day leaked like a !@#$%. Car is a series II R33 GTR. In desperation did a search of forum " should have done it months ago" and found this thread. I checked the nozzle insert tonite and could not find the movement you all speak about. There is a rubber boot liner that goes around the filler out to the edge of the cover opening. Does it leak from behind this cover where it joins the filler. If so how does this boot come off for repair. No matter what level the tank is at I never get a ssssssh on opening HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Cant keep on affording to pump fuel out almost didnt make it back to Adelaide last track day.

Its the restrictor they put in for compliance , sometimes they fix it with sikaflex , the fuel melts it na then it leaks , common problem with most imports .

You have to take the restrictor out and fix it with a fuel resistent substance .

Same as me dude

Noticed it at Wakefiled park track day doing the hairpin left turn

Only becuase someone saw fuel pouring out when driving behind.

Did the same as, bought the fuel cap...no difference

Anyway, after mine nearly fell out ( a year later of 3/4 tank fills....grrrrrr) i finally did something about it.

There was bugger all gooo stuff holding it in.

I guess when you're a compliancer, you just wack it in and move on to the next car.

So even if yours in in real tight, might have enought goo to hold it tighht but not the full circumfance of the pipe so no complete seal. Mine now has HEAPS !

I fully layered inside the pipe with that stuff, and layered the outside of the restrictor insert......pushed it in REALLY tight ! ..and as i siad, no have the psssshhhh sound when opening. The stuff also says it's fuel/oil proof so hoepfully that's the end of it.

Good luck !

Thanks, for the replies, I will try to get to Abahn to find the miracle loctite blue/white stuff that will stop the 98 octane rooster tail behind my car and get my psssshhhh back. However if I cant get it before the track day this weekend can the compliancing fuel filler restrictor be taken out and the standard fuel cap screwed in temporarily. I cant let the EVO club thats running the track day not have competition.

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
