R32 cutting out?

OK guys - here's my first post in the forum, so treat me kind. I have a stock 1992 r32gts-t which has been humming along just fine for the last two years (apart from the alarm shorting out and setting some of the interior wiring on fire ... but that's another story).

Anyway, I start up the car yesterday morning and it turns over and over and does nothing. I think maybe it's fuel, so give the tank a "thud" then it finally starts - and slowly comes to life. It then coughs and splutters for the first 10 min or so. After this, it seems fine, except it still seems to cut in and out once I get on boost - like it's starving. When I stop and start during the day the same happens, then when I leave it overnight I have to revert to a "thud" to the fuel tank to wake it up. I did a search on old forum threads but couldn't find anything similar.

Given it happened so suddenly, does it sound like a fuel pump problem? If so, what's the best way to go about fixing it? I hear a factory replacement pump is around $700! Any thoughts appreciated!

Welcome to SAU Jedi,

If it is your fuel pump...(which is what it sounds like to me given that a thud to the tank helps!)

A GTR pump ($350-500) second-hand would be better than a GTS-t factory one especially if they charge $700 for one! The GTR pumps flow upto 450hp-500hp.

Have you replaced plugs or fuel filter lately?

Just trying to help!

Is that your skyline in your avatar? (looks real good!! I really like black R32's)

MEGA - thanks for the reply. I haven't done the plugs or filter for about 6 months, so probably time now. As to a second hand GTR pump - I may need help with where you'd get something like that. I'll try a trawl through the classifieds forum but other than that is there a place you'd recommend?

And yes that is my car - having looked at the pics of yours I can see why you like it! NICE GTS-4 you have there!

I think I worded that badly. I have now 6000k's in total since I have had it. That makes it about 1500 k's a month.

It has done a couple of Can-Syd return trips, a 2 day trip checking out rural land and general get me to work stuff.

Now we have the x-trail it shouldnt do so much work. Then again I am going to Maitland Wed/Thurs so there goes another 1000ks!

      Thoughts on this .. G35-1050 pulsar result

      Nope, still smaller rear, put on the 4inch exhaust and picked up power everywhere, ended up just shy of 800rwhp.   Didn't seem to be hitting any walls either, so perhaps could have pushed for more but all maybes and the fish that got away etc etc.

      This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.

      Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛

      Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it
