Gts Fuel Starvation?

Hoping someone can give me an answer to my very annoying problem.

On 3 occasions now in around 40degree heat days after driving the car for around 30mins my r32 gts has had what seems like fuel starvation or someting.Bassically while driving along normally under only light load the engine starts to splutter slightly, when the accelator is applied a little heavier the revs stay constant and the car will not accelarate. Then suddenly the car cuts out ( did it at 90km/h down a hill) :) After about 10 tried to restart the car and it spluttering away it will start up fine and be back to normal.

It actually feels exactly the same as when my fuel pump plug came out and the car obviously lost fuel.

Iv asked several mechanics now say they really dont know why it's happening.

Since then the car has occasionally become hard to start 1st thing in the morning and then fine for the rest of the day.

Im about to bolt up my turbo and the last thing i need is mixutures leaning out on me.

Another thing is that on both occasions now i have smelt fuel around a minute prior to it occuring...

If anyone has ANY suggestions please let me know... if be very greatfull!!!

Cheers~!

      yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)

      Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions

      Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣

      Is the toolbox that damaged the boot seal the same item that fell on the car during the storm a while back?

      Who are you to deny yourself? I’ve said this many times to myself and apart from getting what I really want, I go quiet for a while whilst working out what I just did to my savings and how will I afford what it cost, then, next payday…
