hey mate i had a similar problem and it maybe ether of there 2 things the crank angle sensor (cas). if you have a mate with the same car or some one that you could lend it off just to try it. just mark it swap them and try it. or you can clean your aac valve but this usually only will conk you out when you go down to idle. if it is all carboned up when you let go of the accelerator it will just die on you.

well it is a bit confusing sorry about that but i hope this can help you out cheers

Another issue I came across once that was similar to this was that there was a loose wire on the ECU harness.

Just to cover all bases, remove the kick panel, start the car and GENTLY wriggle the ECU harness and see if the car cuts out.

Symptoms point to the pump as a possibility, very common for the old R32 pumps to die, since it's a early 33 the stock pump might be nearly 15 years old now

HOLY CRAP!!! I thought i was the only tard to stop at a major intersection, holding up Melbourne's traffic. Great FUN! So the fuel pump solved your problem. I'm gonna get one on Wednesday see how I go.

P.S I feel your pain!

      Yeah I'm happy to talk to whoever, I don't want to take ownership or even manage it if they don't want but I can probably help with hosting on the sau setup. It's a great resource and should be protected.

      So, got some bits..   New oil filter housing gasket (main problem I'm trying to fix -see leak above)  While you're in there's: New belts, pulley and tensioners.  Vanos oil line New oil drain valve New water pump and pulley  New fumoto valve (all my cars have these). Some of this stuff seems ok now that I've pulled it out but I still have no idea how old it all is.  The belts looked fine and then I noticed this. Like somebody has hooked it with a pick.

      As the title suggests, Looking for some comfortable replacement seats that will suit/fit an R32 GTR. Purely road use.  Happy to travel to the Tweed, Gold Coast and Brisbane area. Possibly Sunshine Coast for the right seats. Show me what you got! Thanks in advance.

      Comfortable replacement seats for R32 GTR

      By GTR_JOEY · Posted

      Hi friends, I recently got myself back into an R32 GTR with factory seats. The seats themselves are in excellent condition but the drivers seat is a bit tight for my back and become uncomfortable after about 20min of driving. The passenger seat is a little better so I'm not sure what is going on there, almost as if the drivers seat is newer and has not been worn in.  Anyway, I'm looking to replace them with something thats going to be comfortable for road use.  I was looking at these replica seats from Crank Motorsport however there has been a number of reviews of the company that aren't great so i'm a little skeptical.  https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/185466689021?_skw=r32+GTR+front+seats&itmmeta=01JKS72VG115M2Y3KBGCBCWYDD&hash=item2b2ead15fd:g:cMAAAOSwhhZlsIpK&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKl6v17FmqPFPHrHp4kFm2I9VMAXrpZg5R8sUXH6QLUAkliQu34NiG%2F84PJ05lKf2iGboUiWpWbvHYPYKsT154rul3I%2FaGRskpG8VfgyrwC9%2BdRj7uoDAPGJH%2FVprfvd6pgAN2XmUz6buE9YHvOPCKhtJfsQXhEzwgmVTcIwEkkV0A1r%2FkyJYMmQK0OKLI%2FrM%2FQLzeAOkN9B6WLAPrNyFlml%2FkG%2BYzkTXGJ8LN%2B0NCSLfczQGSYeJqPfvMFMgDL2gOD%2BPWb3sX1D1A6PxY5jqyMGey7zin4sDqrUrA7CpqLLpA%3D%3D|tkp%3ABFBMmriLp55l I also live In the Northern Rivers and these seats are in Melbourne so I can't even try them out before purchase.  Is there anywhere/anyone around the Gold Coast, Tweed or Brisbane area that would have a decent selection of seats I could test out before purchase. A lot of these places seem to be in Sydney and Brisbane. Maybe there's an individual who has an after market item such as Bride or Recaro I could quickly try? Thanks in advance!
