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?

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.
