Hellooooo,

Wondered if anyone has had to remove the smell of spew from their car, and if so, wanna share how you did it successfully?

There was an accident last Wednesday and basically my entire back seat had orange juice thrown up all over it. Also the mats, floor, back of one of the seats... it was professionally cleaned straight away so it looks fantastic but the smell is still rotten. I thought professionally cleaned meant the smell was included in said clean, but apparently not...

When it dried, it was No Vac'd but that just smells like its covering up whats underneath. Its not too bad when you first get in, but go shopping and come back after the cars been in the sun and errrrrrrr :down: you get the picture...

The plan was to sell this car to get my Skyline , but nobody will want it smelling like this.

TIA guys :P

febreeze. spray it everywhere and leave the car open so it can evaporate. it gets rid of smells, rather than mask them

may as well give it a go. its only like $5

my gf forgot a bottle of milk in her car for days, and there was some spillage :down: i used this to get the stench out, and it worked well.

if that fails, you're gonna have to remove the seat, and wash it properly.

Thanks guys! - gotta say the petrol and match option sounds good, but thats taking the easy way out LOL

I found the only way to remove the smell after washing it a little was really strong vanilla essence, leave it for a while and it will wear off but at least it helps get rid of the spew smell.

Like on Seinfeld haha.

Tell the spew-ee that they just brought themself a car.

LOL go and find some bum on the street n throw the keys to ur car at him n see if he will take it. Ya prob can't even give the car away now :blink:

Bum sees Jerry throw keys in car and walks away. Bum walks up, sticks head in car.... :thumbsup: . Haha.[/episode] Ehh back on topic. That sucks bigtime man. second the 'steam clean and frebreeze type deoderiser' notion.

    • Which manifold mate? Meanwhile......Mark is wondering how bonnet vents would look on the NC 🤣
    • Actually,  just remembered there should be info in the threads (somewhere) about swapping to a manual steering rack and deleting power steering all together. 
    • Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open
    • Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.
    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
