ok I'll try to explain to you without picture...

1.open the boot.

under you battry, more likely directly under the fuse box.

there should be a Gray square panel with 4 screws... - if you unscrew them that's the access into the fuel tank. (I believe fuel tank is kidney shaped).

and if you pull put white cap - it will contain long cylinder instrument and HEAPS of WIRES!!! yes in the fuel tank!! wires.

Please be careful and DO NOT UN-DO (unplug) black horse - its fuel line - one for IN and ONE FOR OUT (returning back to fuel tank) - be very careful cuz if you just unplug them it will SPEW out all the fuels. :) not good.

sorry about da gramatical and spelling mistake ;)

BTW what is the problem? is your fuel (Tank) sensor broken?

cheers

thanks for the reply glue...

well the problem is, the car was working fine... then the next thing i knew the thing wont start... had a mechanic look at it and he say it cud be the fuel pump, had other stuff checked out and they are all fine... what happends is u turn the ignition the engine turns but doesnt stay running, there is fuel in the tank (about last quarter) but when u hear the engine it sound like there is no fuel, it'll turn the engine but then it dies, and i dont hear the usual liquid gushing sound (not sure if u'll know what i mean) when u turn the key to the ignition point.... so next thing to check out is the fuel pump....

anyone else have any ideas what it might be???? the car just wouldnt start, there was nothing indicating anything was wrong... she was sweet, it just sounds like i got no fuel

thanks again for the info....

will check it soon as i have the time

peace

to check the pump, get some one to turn the ignition key on, while you lightly kink the fuel hose in the engine bay, if it pressurises and tries to unkink itself its fine, dont mess around in the tank for no reason. Also you should be able to hear it, stick ur head in the boot or under the back of the car and listen for it as someone else turns the ignition on.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Yea the photos aren't the best. When I was pulling the bumper and headlights out there was a bodyshop guy looking on for it, there is a slight bend behind where the passenger headlight is, but we're talking a few MM and there is a little bit of a bend for the reo. That said it's supposedly well within the "Drill a hole in it and pull it out with a slide hammer to be close enough" and be on our way. The other option is to buy a GTR reo for the GTR bumper bits but this is a $2000+ fix for something Mr Hammer can probably do 99% of the job for and everything will/can line up pretty closely-to-good-enough.

      That's a write off for sure... Part out? 😛 I kid. It looks like the rad support has a minor minor bend in it too where the rep support sits near. Could just be the photos (and me not wearing my glasses right now). Worst case is you can buy a new radiator support, have it swapped over, and leave the car in paint jail for 12 to 18 months while you build the motor to handle twin turbos or a Harrop SC...

      It seems the definition of "Gregging" something might need to be expanded?

      R32 GTR - Where to begin

      This is why I suggested that there is really nothing that can safely be done in the engine bay at this budget level. Just the work to reassure yourself that the engine won't instantly crap itself the moment the boost gets turned up will wear out the piggy bank long before the first turbo gets installed. Spend $10k and still not have any extra performance? My tip is a version of our standard advice from 15 years ago about buying a GTR, which is not to buy one unless you can afford to buy two. The new version is not to modify a GTR unless you have all the funds required to do it all at once, properly, and enough to rebuild it after it blows up.

      Oh, I forgot to mention this before.  It is accepted that your taking on risk buy turning up the power on a 30 year old stock motor. You can lower the risk with the ECU engine protection, but this is more money on sensors. CAN wideband, oil temp, oil pressure, coolant pressure, fuel pressure, air temp, etc. It adds up quick.  I am a huge fan of running all of the engine protection the ECU offers. You'll have to decide for yourself how you want the engine protection setup and what you think is worth monitoring.
