Thank you.

The wiring is okay, i double checked it with a Multimeter. The Sky goes out only in right curves and only if the fuel tank isn't full (the issue starts at about a half-full tank)

In Germany more r32 have this issue. First i thought i need a tank-in-tank solution to counteract the G-Load.

I think that, as GTSBoy said, it will relate to how the oump is mounted in the  cradle. Less likely but also possible the cradle is not firmly secured to the mount in the bottom of the tank and has come loose.

Either way you need to open the tank back up to check.

The main thing to check is that the pump's sock/inlet filter is lying flat right at the bottom of the cradle. Also check the the filter is properly attached to the pump and can't leak, that the pump is secure in the cradle (as the diameter is much smaller than stock), and that the return line from the fuel rail is properly connected so that fuel returns into the cradle not the main tank.

I still have surge with low fuel (under 1/4 tank) in long high g corners on the track, even though I use an in tank lift pump + external surge tank. These days there are better designed aftermarket alternatives if you can't get the standard setup to work OK, like https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/collections/nissan-skyline-r32gt-r/products/fpg-new-nissan-skyline-r32-gt-r-bnr32-in-tank-surge-tank-kit-track-edition-te-fits-c34-stagea-v3-fpg-085

I think you missed the point of what I said. You would need to be driving around a right-hand curve at the same time as measuring with the multimeter to prove this.

or you've fouled up the wiring so that it is shorting or going open circuit under that G load.

with emphasis added, for, you know, emphasis.

Yeah, I'm betting a combination of fuel pump is positioned higher then the factory pump and the filter/sock is shorter then the factory sock. 

Have a look at the frenchys performance garage hanger setup, they generally position the fuel pump nice and low so would be a good comparison for however you set your pump up.

Hello again,

I just want to tell you that i found the reason why my bnr32 is going out in right corners.

I had my car tuned by a company and they fitted the Emu Classic and a new fuel pump in 2021.

I checked the loom, changed the walbro fuel pump with a Deatschwerks fuel pump. None of this helped.

Then I checked the fuel pressure and thought I was crazy. It was tuned with over 7 bar ( over 100psi) !!!

But why? So I checked the fuel return line and saw that it was closed.

That was probably also the reason why the tuner replaced the fuel pump, but he tuned the Emu with the 7 bar 🫣

The map in the emu has now been changed and evertyhing is fine.

It's my experience that when cars get old enough every failure starts to be unique and surprising like this. They must be reading Anna Karenina or something.

    • You'd be better off digging a pit and standing under it to shoot it.
    • The easiest way would to be ignore the oscilloscope, grab a multimeter, and make sure all the main connections are right. An oscilloscope will give 99.9% of even technicians so much grief, as they have no idea what things should even look like on an oscilloscope. Which is also even more likely for someone who's first ever major work on a car is this If the battery volts are dropping down so low, the LDV will reboot the ECU, when it does so, it will drop out the start circuit. If this is occuring, the battery voltage should also come back up. Give it a few tests, even simple ones like when you're attempting to crank it, measure voltage from the engine block, to the negative terminal. You might find you've got really bad connections somewhere. My guess is the "new" motor has something like a shit starter motor, at which point, you can swap the starter motor from the old motor, to the new motor. Before I did any of the above though, I'd 100% confirm the battery in the vehicle. Most jumper packs are absolutely useless, especially if a battery has a bad cell for example. Also the new modern "jump packs" if you don't know what you're doing with them, you won't even get them into high current stage. So go back to basics, check the battery, especially with a known good one as a replacement test. Check ALL the wiring, this includes where they're bolted onto the battery, and bolted onto the starter motor. Check all the earth straps are on. Measure your resistances across your earth straps. A good check here is to measure voltage across the earth straps while you're trying to crank it. If you're seeing voltage, you've got high resistance joints! Oh, and once you've done the above, check the battery over again.
    • For most rotisseries, as Duncan has mentioned, you really don't want a full car on it, you want a stripped shell. And imagine how many more weeks THAT is going to add to working on the car...
