there is a hole in the leather boot... but i dont think i'd get that much through there.
My money's on the fuel filter r31's are notorious for it the clamps are flat stainless steel and cut into the hose and small cracks develop leaking fuel in a mist because of the pressure,of course you have to do them up tight because of the fuel injection pressures,so regular maintenance to the hoses is the key even replacing them now and again as they are relatively short pieces.Grey Pearl.

I have a R33 GTS-T and get the smell of vapours when the tank is between a quarter and 3/4 full.

The fuel lines connecting to the tank seem fine, no splits or cracks - but one thing I noticed is that when I start the car, I can see fumes and vapour hissing out from below the fuel cap (A pin size hole) - a relief valve maybe?

also where you from , i could take a look oneday if your in brissy.
Giant, You are a champ mate,saying you would help a brother out for free, I imagine,people like you make the world a better place,and I mean that,only wish I knew someone like you in melb as these niggly problems like idle and vacuum leaks are easy meat for guys like you but we always get stuck with duds and pay through the nose. Personally if someone offered to help me like you have and was successful I would make it worth their while anyway, for fixing the headache without any fuss or pocket therapy.Cheers to you mate.Grey Pearl.

      Wiring high beams in IC7 for R32 GTR

      By BourneToLive · Posted

      Hey, guys, I’m hoping I can find answer here. I have already done some searching and asking around but still nothing.    I fitted an IC7 dash in my R32 GTR, and I got everything displaying on the dash except my high beams. I get input voltage and the high beams displaying in the dash when I pull the lever, but not when I fully engage the high beams. I spliced into the Red/Blue Beam+ wire in the black center connector from the cluster, but there is also a black Beam wire I think I need to use as well. The high beams still work. It’s just a matter of getting it to display on the dash.    Has anyone fully wired in their IC7 properly ? I would appreciate any guidance on this.    IMG_8835.mov

      City of Casey - This is obscene!

      Sounds like it may all just be some baseless outrage stoked by the carexplore guy? As in the linked social media outrage on facebook just goes back to carexplore as a source again. Further shown by the council response that nothing actually has changed: "The Private Land Use Permit has been part of the Casey Community Local Law for a number of years. It's important to clarify that this permit is not new, and no changes have been made to the permit or the Local Law in relation to the permit." The full council response in Prank's link sounds reasonable to me. Saying that as someone who neither lives there nor has a front yard to call their own

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      Clutch hydraulics are also all good, looks like a brand new slave cylinder and everything bled up well. No idea what the actual clutch is, and I don't intend to pull the box off on the floor to find out, so unless we have trouble on the dyno or at shakedown that will remain a mystery for the new owner

      Front brakes are G4 8 pot calipers over 330mm discs with braided lines. Everything looks good, pretty sure these are off my old 350. Pads are brand new and judging from gold colour are Winmax which is what I also run on my race car, Neil and I both sourced brake stuff from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney who really knows his stuff Everything has bled up nicely with all new Motul RBF600 fluid, there were 2 loose hard line connections and the calipers were new on the car so I ended up doing it 3 times but it is perfect now
