  1. https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-kit-nissan-rb26-low-mount-iwg-gt2860r-9-xtr000908i.html?ref_cat_id=Turbo-Upgrades-Kits-Petrol-Turbocharger-Kits This what you boys mean by the -9s? Also, while we're here - since they're blown and the car is sounding like a hilux, does this mean I shouldn't be turning it on at all and tow, or is it ok to not hit boost and drive it to the workshop?
  2. Just an update in case anyone is interested... I ended up getting to the fuel pump and the cap was essentially welded on. The person that worked on the car before was definitely doing something there because when I managed to get the cap off, the seal that was meant to be there was just thrown into the petrol tank. Literally - just floating around in there. No signs of damage or wear at all. The bloke would've been having a shit day and just decided "screw it" and thrown the seal in the tank. Put a new seal on, pieced everything together and the petrol smell was gone. Thanks everyone!
  3. Heya folks, Just got home from a drive and my turbos decided to shit themselves. I actually had it up on the market but now it looks like that's being put on hold till the issue is fixed. The car is in amazing condition and I don't want to do any big single upgrades or anything like that. Since I'm pulling them out may as well put something a little better in there. Any recommendations on some decent twins that aren't going to break the bank? I don't want to have to change the manifold or anything like that so it would have to be something that bolts straight in. Thanks in advance!
  4. Thanks man! I've just ordered the part and will start ripping shit out this weekend. Any tips, tutorials, or anything else you can point me to?
  5. Mate, this sounds very promising. f**kin' reeks as soon as I fill up then dissipates over time. Just to be clear - seal on the inside, not the cap itself?
  6. Thanks @Duncan! I've got a big feeling it's the fuel neck to tank. When I open the fuel cap, there's like a 5 cm separation from the neck to the cap. Now, I'm not sure what it's meant to look like on R33s but it seems to me like that's meant to be flush against the cap. If this is the issue? Any tips on how to go about fixing it?
  7. Also @Duncan I've tried adding info to profile but keep getting EX1364 error - am I f**king something up or...?
  8. @GTSBoy I'll have a look when I go downstairs again but even if it's removed wouldn't the smell be coming somewhere from the engine bay? I'm like 80% sure it's coming from the boot near fuel pump area. @PLYNX the tank is definitely not pressurised. I noticed that the first time I went to fill up and every time I open up the tank since it's just twisting off super easy. No pressure at all. How do I access the fuel filler neck? @Duncan Sydney. After the last comment, I'm starting to think it's the issue with the fuel filler neck. Advice on next steps?
  9. Hey folks, I'm in a bit of a pickle. I just bought a 33 GTR about a week ago. Fairly basic car (mods are PFC, exhaust, boost, front mount). I filled up as soon as I bought it and was driving it around for a few days and everything was good. I then filled up again a couple of days later and after I got in the car there was a strong petrol smell the whole way home. I thought I might have stepped in petrol or something so I chose to ignore it. Next day, jumped in and it didn't smell that bad. Went for a drive and the smell disappeared. Then, all of the sudden the smell came back and it was strong! I checked the engine bay, no leaks. I checked under the car, no leaks. I took the boot apart to see if there was petrol or anything at all, no leaks. I'm stumped! I read up online that it could be the seals on the fuel pump but wouldn't that mean that the smell would be constant? Any advise on where to start would be greatly appreciated.
