hey guys, i was a member of the forums a few years back, and then got out of the skyline game for a while because i had some trouble with money after my last 32 =(

ANYWAY

i just recently bought another r32 gtst

it was fine for a couple of weeks, but is now starting to have alot of problems.

my main concern is that when i accelerate, and boost starts to come on, sometimes the car will LITERALLY just stop accelerating. the revs drop, speed drops and boost drops. USUALLY when the revs get down to about one, i just put the clutch in and pump the accelerator and its all good again.

lately its been happening alot.. like maybe once every few minutes.

also, last night it got to the point where the whole car just stalled while i was driving.

when i got the car home, i turned it off and the turbo timer kept it running for a bit... then i heard a strange noise coming from underneath the car. it sounds kind of like the car is trying to pump something and happens once every 5 seconds until the car is off. the noise seems to be coming from the passenger side underneath the car, and not from the engine bay.. but it could just be the acoustics of my garage.

the direction of the noise and the symptoms of the car make me think its the fuel pump but i have absolutely jack shit knowledge of cars, so im probably way off..

if ANYONE has any idea what it is, please let me know because i love my car and want to be able to drive it again without having to worry about it breaking down =(

thanks alot guys,

Scoobs.

sound like fuel pump on it way out.

just go down to your local machanic and tell him what it doing ...he may drive it or he will know from what you have told us.

it def sounds like fuel to me mate

If you are a FYI kind of guy like me id do the following

get a inline fuel pressure gauge $30 or a cheap autogauge one for $50

take it for a drive and see whats happening?

also check the earth wire on the pump there is a FYI on fixing that common issue

you can do this by using a multimeter and checking the voltage

PM me with any updates as id like to know how it goes.

GOOD LUCK

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By PranK · Posted

      I once hit my knee on an exhaust on my sisters Suzuki Sierra after she drove it her *normal* way. My knee looked like porridge for weeks. Bec and my daughters never go near this car. I can see one of my dogs losing an ear though. 🤔

      Nice, love a good GTS-t.  IMHO the factory body kit with the 'aero' front bumper is perfect. Can't improve on it unless it's a GT-R. But it looks like you changed it to the normal bumper?

      Easy solution to both of those. Put a split bit of garden hose on each one. Attractive and practical!

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      So I guess the next thing to do will be to discuss whether to create a new section of the forums to hold the library (boo hiss?), somewhat undoing the recent tidy up, or if there is a bolt on wiki module for Invision? (I must profess ignorance as to what has been done, what it might cost, etc. I have only briefly googled and seen discussion on adding it.) Or is a wiki even the best way to do what I'm talking about? It possibly isn't. Given that we're trying to re-display forum content, it probably needs to be presented as forum content in forum format, and a wiki would probably struggle with that. A wiki might still be the best way to do some other things, so I'll keep the idea simmering if we don't use it here. Back to the library as "part of the forums". Would we do a single new library? Or put a library thread in each section? Pluses and minuses for each of these, surely. Would we do as I originally suggested, and make the first post in the library be the total of the library, with any reply posts just being the inputs and suggestions I originally posited? Or would we allow posts to accumulate one after the other, each containing additions to the library? Maybe the first post is still an index or something. It's all sounding horribly more manual and messy than my original brain fart. But I hope there's some other good ideas floating around - because every time I come up with a new one of my own I immediately see problems with it.

      Tips look fine to me......but Boring stuff: Legalities - Vehicle standards notes that exhausts cannot extend to a point where they could cause injury Scary stuff: Mrs cuts open her shin putting stuff in the boot (ensure you have some bandaids and shiny jewellery handy)
