I just recently bought a r31 before christmas and i havnt had time to take it to my mechanics because of work and him being closed for the christmas and new year period. I was driving it today and started to go past 2.5 to 3k revs and the car just shit itself and started loseing revs and they where dropping from 0 up again and so on. Im new to the rb world and i have no clue what it could be. I know the cars needs a definate service and a new gearbox and also theres sort of a rubbing noise when i engage the clutch (sounds like a tyre rubbing against somthing) but this problem with the loss of power hasn't happend since iv been driving the car. does anyone have any idea what could be.

ok, first of all, i'm guessing that the rubbing noise in the clutch is probably the thrust bearing. nothing overly serious or expensive, but worth replacing when you can.

as for the miss, i'm not overly familiar with the rb30 (assuming yours has a rb30), but they run a distributor ignition don't they? it may possibly be a short in the leads, dizzy etc.

hopefully it aint nothing major coz im already throwing alot of money at it to get the current problems fixed and i wouldnt like anymore at this stage. Once its all fixed im going to start learning about the engine and try and build on my little mechanical knowledge. as for now i guess im not touching the car till my mechanic opens up again so i can drive it straight there and find all the problems

seeing as the car needs a service asap coz the oils black i think the fuel filter is prob dirty coz i when i filled it up for the first time i put 98 in it so its prob collected all the crap and its blocked the fuel filter i think thats maybe why it might be doing the rev problem

    • Took it for a drive to do some logs, I’m pretty sure my voltage issues and electrical noise issues are gone, I’ve sent a log to Adam and am waiting to hear back with confirmation  att.K23U9eHyiEJxixH6y1__GQfuqK0EgIoDgQFTs9G8x_w.mp4   idle video from that day just because 
    • Went looking at mine, reading off the tyre, presumably these are 1st week of 2003. Still hold air (I haven't had to pump them up in over 12 months!)     I couldn't quickly find the date on the front tyres, they were fitted around 2008 to the rims, so probably not quite as old, but they have a lot more dry rot cracks in them. Still hold air.
    • I am now intrigued to go check the dates on the tyres on my Skyline... We need a game of who has the oldest tyre still holding a car up, and successfully holding air (for longer than a 2 weeks I feel is successful air holding).   I feel your tyres may be beating mine
    • Ok, still waiting for a date to get the cams installed on the MX5, why so long, because MX5 Mania has received a few new sets of different cams with different specs for the MZR and are currently trialling them, and working out what is best for 2.5 "powers" with stock internals, in the end if I go bigger than the Kelford stage 1 cams I'll need to look at the valve springs  Hopefully I'll get the news on them next week As for the boot of the car getting fixed, I hopefully pick it up early next week, I was sweating on picking it up yesterday but, meh, it was not to be, so ne weekend cruising for me
    • Ok got some old tyres for you guys...my car has been sitting around un-driven for about 6 years now. I had it on the original rims with the shitty compliance tyres it got it with back in 2006, which were manufactured in 2004... Sidewalls eventually rotted and split open, obviously no air in them and the rims were holding the car up. Just swapped them with some 17" Work rims and tyres which are probably 10+ years old too but at least holding air
