hmmmm working on the pulsar tomorrow. wonder if its worth getting to the fuel tank and doing something. been 12 months, should get rid of the fuel. dont think it has a drain plug.

i really should change the fuel pump. purely because i havent yet.

If you're that concerned about bad fuel, disconnect the return line from the rail, run another hose from it to a container... turn the ignition on and let the fuel pump prime it all out... then put fresh stuff in.

Edit: Beat me to it :P

Be careful doing this IMO. If you're gonna empty a tank there's a good chance the pump is gonna suck up crap from the bottom / potential to stuff your pump or at least clog it and/or the filter and/or injectors The risk is low, but not the first time it's happened running a tank dry. Better off siphoning it directly from the tank itself IMO

Alternatively, drop car off in a remote community and come back to a clean tank

Glad it's sorted Greg.

Not sure how it would go priming fuel when there is no engine. I think the FPR is still in the engine bay but that's about it.

And I don't really want to hook up the battery because the alarm will go spastic.... f**k I want it gone. I would just cut the speak off temporarily but I heard they don't like that

You could uh, bridge the power to the pump with an alternate power source (i.e your battery) and take the line off? Or just run through terrible fuel.

.... I did it..... and I survived.. how bad could it be?

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
