R33 Relaating Questions

[3340TH]

Hi just wondering a few things if anyone can point me to another relating topic or tell me off their head would be appreciated.

Car seems like it dumps fuel when put into neutral, RPM gauge goes to 0 and increases again, occasionally doesn't....so just wondering where the fuel filter is? Is this it in the photo. If so what is the replacement model? Do they have them in the booklet things or just go to repco and ask?

That and the fuel pump location.

What is this thing above the fuel tank under the metal plate?

As i want to redo my custom boot, and will probably put the amps above it (make shelves).

Will my BOV cause damage to the above side of my bonnet if it continues to damage the black straw stuff? Can this be prevented?

How do i get to the retractor for the seatbelt? do i have to remove the backseat; if so is there a tricky way to remove them or just unscrew the 2 bolts on the front? and does that casing just pop off? I found 1 screw that needs to be undone.

And where can i get a jack to fit in the slot in the boot, only skyline, or other model cars as well.

Cheers,

Julian

-Fuel filter is to the direct left of your finger (the golden 'circle' with the hose exiting towards your knuckles). Go to repco and ask for a fuel filter for an R33 GTST. Have fun replacing it, those hoses are an absolute bastard to get to and even more bastardly to get off.

-That thing above the fuel tank is the fuel tank lid surprisingly Guessing those lines are related to the fuel pump, sender and whatever else requires power inside the fuel tank. Probably a better idea to work around it as the last thing you want is your fuel pump dieing and having to tear all your sound equipment out to get to it.

-Doubt it would cause any visual damage to the top of the bonnet, more likely it will bend/ break the bov trumpet thing first.

-Behind the back seat, use the search function for tutorials on how to remove the backseat (its not fun)

-I left my skyline jacks (one from r32 which fit in the slot and the 33 one which came with the car) under a friends datsun a year ago and havent found another jack yet which fits in there, most are too long when retracted so probably best bet to find someone wrecking there R33 and buy theres

which seatbelt are you talking about?

std z32 filter will work - or ask for a the aus model 300zx turbo filter

as to your fuela dn neutral issue

A) sounds like atmo BOV causing overfueling OR

B) dirty AAC valve

[Basti]

what he said^^.

the fuel filter is a piddly little thing from factory. get the z32 one - its almost twice the diameter = better flow. check the DIY/FAQ section. there is a tute on how to do this.

the seat is really easy to get off. unscrew the 2 bolts holding the bottom part of the seat down, shove a large spanner, screwdriver or anything with leverage capabilities under the seat, as close to the bolt position as poss and pull up. the seat backs are just held by 2 screws at the bottom end and then just lift up and off their hooks.

for the AAC valve refer to DIY section again

[3340TH]

Well the AAC valve was dirty, bout 8months ago and i cleaned it out, bout 3 months later it started playing up again....i will look into changing the filter,,, haven''t been driving it because i have pulled the seats out.

The seat belts...the front seatbelt...the retractor does not work, the back one the spiral spring thing had a blow out, had a 2metre strip lieing in behind the back seat.

Im guessing these things have to be bought in whole...with the back one, wat about the casing cover (the one that fits in the black pillar) how do i remove this from the belt??

And the front one... how is the top pulley thing for the belt removed? Is it a click cover with a bolt underneath??? (cuz i have seen the back one)

And it seems like the belts have been changed b4 too. the dates describe it was manufactured in 2000 and its a 97model.

And can i get a recommendation on a fuel pump..are the normal ones shit? wat would be good 4 good price?

Anyone that can help me plz help...my car will stay off the road till i get the belts done.

Thanks,

Julian

Refit your std plumb-back valve, and your idle/stalling issues should go away.

Umm, what does the BOV do to make carbon build up in the AAC? That is y i always thought it was fuel.
