hi mates. got a little problem with my rb20. if i drive in a straight line and full accelerate from stand still its fine. but if i drop the clutch for burnout or something it goes good for few seconds then itl be like its run out of fuel for couple of seconds after so wheels stop spinning coz lose power. does it both going straight and sideways. did it last night too with full tank of fuel. any ideas what it coul be?

i wanna take it to the drifts but itl be crap with this problem

try replacing fuel filter and pump

guy i got it off said it had a warlbro intank. dunno wat external it has.

i did the 3 inch pipe inside the intake pipe mod today so will test it wen i can. hope that fixed it. the pipe was so rubbery without even driving the car so with the engine heat itd suck closed so easy i rekn. but will have to see. but youd get about 4-8 second burnout time before itd die off so i rekn its something else

yeah i was initially thinking a fuel pump wasnt keeping up that was causing the problem

    • I wouldn't look too hard at what they did with the R32 GTR in endurance racing in Australia... Lots of things weren't actually available from the factory in the way those cars ran them... Japan also followed what Fred Gibson was doing here with some of there endurance cars in Japan... Australia is also the reason for things like the Brembo brakes, and the change in the gearbox... And quite a few other tricks they used to pull. There's a few other SAU peeps still on these forums that will have heard the stories direct from Alan Heaphy, Fred Gibson, and Jim Richards when we were lucky enough to have a great dinner with them
    • For all the talk of "these parts are junk" I generally recommend OEM because it's really not as bad as claimed. I have never seen or heard of a case like the N63 where the oil returns completely clog with coked oil for example in ~10 years or less. Would it be nice if it were a straighter path? I guess, but most modern cars use a scavenge pump instead of a pure gravity return. Also the factory lines that would be relatively simple to convert to braided are generally speaking hardlines from the factory. I would consider braided line to be a regression, not an improvement. It's also been engineered such that all the hardlines have appropriate strain relief where needed. There's absolutely room for improvement, for example the HKS advantage heritage intake piping shows just how much can be done to make the turbos fight each other less in OEM twin turbo configuration and reduce compressor surge but it's rarely a simple/straightforward process. I recommend looking at what the group A/N1 cars did, generally speaking the changes they made were necessary and proven in endurance racing.
    • Yes, multi relays needed, and possibly a diode. I'm not actually going to think about it though.
    • So I'm confident in saying its TCS thing. My new cluster I never realized didn't even have bulbs in the TCS or Slip slots. Shining a light through the backside that black plate has nothing for it, unlike my original cluster. Looking at the service manual the only thing that stands out is TCS in relation to the vehicle speed, it has nothing to do with turbos. It sadly looks like I may just need to get the appropriate cluster.
