Ok i have a r32 with a rb20det a bosch 0 580 fuel pump (i think is a 700hp pump) with a turbosmart fpr (fpr-800)

the car broke down while i was driving tried to start it but wouldnt start as the fuel pump was not working. checked fuse and relay in the boot and was algood so thought it was the pump as i have been running my gas pretty low lately and sometimes my fuel pump would make a different noise which only came on when my gas was really low so thought i had stuffed up the pump. Had a spare walbro 500hp fuel pump which is wayyyy smaller then the bosch fuel pump and installed it. Tried to start after installation and still no fuel pump noise so i checked the other relay where the cap is and found that it was not grounded properly so the fuel pump wasnt stuffed after all..(i know should hav checked it in the first place) pmo. anyway after grounding the relay again fuel pump was working again and car started. I let it idle (to warm up) and after about a minute it just turned off by itself and wont start anymore.

just wondering if anyone who has more knowledge out there could help me out. before i chuck back the bosch fuel pump back in and see if that works?

Check for power and earth at the fuel pump when priming the key or cranking.

Check for fuel flow at the engine by carefully removing the fuel line and placing it into a bottle to check for flow and prime

      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

      How old is too old for tyres?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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
