The last time i used my R32 GTR all worked fine, but today it would not start (it tried to start but no sound from the fuel pump) I checked fuses and connections, all seemed ok. I then hot wired the fuel pump and the engine started and ran as normal but as soon as the hot wire was removed the engine stalled. The only thing that has been changed since the last outing was the instrument pack ??? Any help PLEASE !!!

My R32 had this issue. I just hotwired the pump to the battery and ran a fuse just before the connection. Their is nothing wrong with this. Your pump probably isnt getting good voltage. My pump was getting 9v but my battery output was 14v once I put the inline wire and fuse it worked fine...

Thanks Aaron for your suggestion. I will use your direct wire system. Clive

Thanks Tacker. I took your advice and changed it over with a spare one I happened to have, but its still the same problem. Does the ECU control the pump (the 2 speed thingy) I have a Apexi PFC

Please does anyone else have any ideas on what could cause this problem. I dont think its a low voltage issue. Its more a no voltage issue when the ignition is switched on and cranking the engine over. Thanks for any advice.

very likely to be a problem with the fuel computer if its not the relay. either check the voltage there or just rewire it and bypass the computer like everyone else does.

there is a detailed thread somewhere about fuel pump direct feed re-wire.

There's an ECU that controls the fuel pump - yours has probably died. Same thing happened to my GTR. I opened up the unit and found a dry solder joint and burnt pin. Its located behind the trim on the drivers side in the back seat. It receives signals from the main ECU. There was are "what are these" thread a week ago that had pictures of it. Searchy.

EDIT the thread is HERE top picture

    • I buy my wheel cleaner in 4 litre bottles now. Euro brakes are brutal
    • Sounds like it may all just be some baseless outrage stoked by the carexplore guy? As in the linked social media outrage on facebook just goes back to carexplore as a source again. Further shown by the council response that nothing actually has changed: "The Private Land Use Permit has been part of the Casey Community Local Law for a number of years. It's important to clarify that this permit is not new, and no changes have been made to the permit or the Local Law in relation to the permit." The full council response in Prank's link sounds reasonable to me. Saying that as someone who neither lives there nor has a front yard to call their own  
    • Clutch hydraulics are also all good, looks like a brand new slave cylinder and everything bled up well. No idea what the actual clutch is, and I don't intend to pull the box off on the floor to find out, so unless we have trouble on the dyno or at shakedown that will remain a mystery for the new owner
    • Front brakes are G4 8 pot calipers over 330mm discs with braided lines. Everything looks good, pretty sure these are off my old 350. Pads are brand new and judging from gold colour are Winmax which is what I also run on my race car, Neil and I both sourced brake stuff from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney who really knows his stuff Everything has bled up nicely with all new Motul RBF600 fluid, there were 2 loose hard line connections and the calipers were new on the car so I ended up doing it 3 times but it is perfect now
    • So, starting with the rear brakes. They look like standard R33 GTST, and will need new pads shortly (less than 5mm material, probably only 1 day left). The slotted discs (probably DBA) are near new at 18.01mm and the lines are braided
