Hi guys. My 33 has been smelling really fuelly for a while now inside the car when running, for a while there i thought it was just a rich tune / unburnt fuel etc. but. today it was horrible. so much petrol that i almost passed out while driving.

stopped the car went around sniffing for petrol. and the strongest smell was coming from my boot. stripped it out. had a look around then pulled the cover off the the fuel pump housing.

and well. there was a pool of fuel sitting around the connectors, and it looks like it has been splashing around while driving. pretty not great. i pushed against one of the connectors to work out where the fuel had been coming from as it is completely dry around the seal ring. and as soon as i touched it, it started hissing and bubbling wildly. i believe this is the culprit. i've got a pic and a video of what i mean.

I'm looking for the plastic inner with the connectors etc. (one that isn't a leaky Piece of shit ) and i need it pretty urgently. anyone got one lying around / not using willing to sell and get to me asap? looking for a price range etc.

photo attached. can't attach the video it's too big sorry.

that sounds awesome mate, how much would express postage cost on top of that? are you able to post? to postcode 4670

I looked at it this morning, fuel had evaporated. started it up and sure as shit fuel is leaking up right beside that plug. need this changed asap.

i'm heading to Brisbane Thursday anyway. so if you can't post i'll probably be able to pick it up

Thanks heaps mate

on Second Thoughts, if it's in good nick and won't leak i'll be all over it. i checked out Bald hills and it is right off the Gympie arterial which i take to come home,

I'll be heading back up Saturday so i can pick it up off you then if you don't mind?

Complete lifesaver, if i had to deal with fuel smell in the cabin anymore i'd neck myself.

Pm me your Details Cad and i'll get back to you.

    • Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in
    • Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.
    • Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
