is the tank breather blocked ? it could be causing a vaccum.

Will the location of the tank breather be in the workshop manual? and i can check when i get it home?

Do you think it could be anything to do with the fact hes been putting lead replacement fluid into the fuel tank? Or will theat damage anything in the engine?

I no it has a lower igniton rate than unleaded.

Sorry I can't answer you questions but that spoiler looks good. More coherent that I would have guessed.

not sure what redex will do to your pump mate, but i think the breather (one way valve) sits on top of the tank,

Well got car home.
Given it a service seems to run ok now won't know for sure till I take it out a run.

But am still confused as to what fuel i should be using.
According to the owners manual it says it. Unless fitted with a cat it shoul be run on Leaded fuel and auto data says the same. Altho you've all told me to run on unleaded.
I know this question is probally annoyin everyone but its buggin me I'm just confused.

Thanks

Most Nissans I've seen have a sticker on the inside of the fuel filler door. I'd expect it to read 97ron unleaded. Mine does, the B12 sunnies with the N/A 16vs I've seen do, as do the Bluey Turbos I've seen. Never know a CA to run leaded.

this is correct what caminhead says about the sticker in the filler flap.

From what my father has told me there was a high octaine leaded fuel on sale as well as the lower run of the mill stuff am just a tad confused. I done want to burn my valve seats but if everyones runnin 97 ron unleaded with no problems then ill follow Suit.

I have the same sticker on the inside of my filler flap. Just wanted a second opinion thanks for the help guys

matey, i've had 13 silvia's over the last 12 years, japster and silviagod have had many s12's as well and for longer than me, they will all tell you that they are fine on 97 octane and 95 octane if you don't boot it,i did 45k on my 305bhp silvia, it was fine and not valve wear , as long as you get your afr and timing right, then you will be ok,leaded and 5 star is real old school, rover 2.2tc springs to mind lol, most people on hear know there onions and you won't go far wrong mate,
