Got my coupe going again. Lost all the brakes a while ago. I procrastinated because i thought the JDM replacement for the brake switch was giant T making the system if you lost any of the brakes you lost all of them. Turns out I was wrong. unfortunately I had to pull it all part to find out. After fixing the brakes I wanted to figure out how the exhaust stink was getting in the car. I borrowed Josh's smoke machine. He said the smoke stinks but using other methods I just wasn't able to get any results. So I decided just to fill the car with smoke. Like my younger years. Found the leaks! I never noticed until doing this you can look from the trunk area and see the chrome vents in the C pillar. Pretty obvious why the stink is getting into the cabin. Although while doing this I noticed my fuel tank leaks.... swap O rings with a used one and it still leaks. I ordered one from Nissan. While ordering parts for the coupe I ordered a new thermostat since the motor never seems to warm up.
So I guess I just never had rear brakes so when I lost them all it was actually just the fronts I lost....
Smoke machine! So stinky!
This is where the stink sneaks in. If you look up there you can actually see the chrome C pillar event. Just a straight path into the car. What the hell Nissan!!! I actually pulled the rear seat and quarter panel trim pieces and used this fancy tape from work. Which did help some. But this is the real problem. I hope.
Used some tin bender tape. Maybe one day I will do a better job. Nope.
Dang gas tank is leaking.... Guess that's were some of the stink is coming from.... New OEM O ring on the way.
I did drive it for the day. Little gas leak did stop a test drive! Brakes work, Seems like way less stink.
