Deren I'm moving to Brisbane at the end of the year - I want to come to the grand unveiling! You could just about sell tickets dude.

Werd.

Yep. Yours will probably also do it at really low speeds, like <30kmh And yeah, totally ghey. I thought it only happened with old speedo cables though? Weird.

Spark, fuel, compression. I guess it had to be compression then. It's a shame to hear the lousy news dude. On the plus side, used RB20s aren't too exxy.

Not heard of anything like it before, but as a guy with a science degree in physics, your theory makes a lot of sense. I am hanging out to find out what's causing this.

If you're new to DIY maintenance, that single post above is the best info you'll read all week.

lol @ flamethrower The RB26 fuel filter is the same as the SR20DE (Pulsar SSS)

That'll be it.

The motor should still start without an AFM, but it'd run like garbage, with lots of smoke, highly unstable idle, etc. And if you have spark, the ECU should be fine. Happy to be corrected on that one though. Spark, fuel and compression is all we need. Sounds like you've covered all three bases already. As Adam said, plugs will foul with fuel, and it is probably flooded, but WOT whilst cranking should sort that - and the boggy performance you mentioned means it is something else. A dodgy coil or a fouled plug or two will start start, but just run like crap. Sounds like spark is covered. When a fuel pump dies, the motor will start for *just* a second or two and then kark it. One or two blocked injectors will start start, but again run like crap. Sammy what you've described seems like a vac leak, just like you thought. Is there any chance you could have missed something?

Thanks for understanding dude, I wish more guys were like you! I'm keen to hear how you go with Fair Trading if you're happy to keep the thread updated?

And back on topic, is there a law that stops people from charging 300% over their quoted figure? I mean, imagine building a house quoted at $400K and then having them send you a bill for $1.2M??

Sorry blokes. I had to remove the workshop name. It is not to be published publicly. If you're in Brisbane, please feel free to PM zilla33. No, this isn't meant to be censorship. This is meant to stop Christian (SAU owner) from being sued and us losing SAU. Please shoot over a PM if you wish to discuss further. Cheers! Mark

Thanks Marcus. I'm hoping I don't regret the decision!

Dude that is so hard to read.

Goneski. Sold 5 mins ago. End of an era for me.

Thanks Lizzeh! And 5 mins ago I sold it to a lovely Japanese man from the Gold Coast! Happy days!

Yep, I know it. It's in my garage.

lmao

Price SMASHED to $19000. That's $18999 for all the used car salesmen out there. Need the debt goneski. This bargain is all inclusive and if sold in the next 15 minutes comes with free tank of 98 octane

Cheers Dave. I thought I had genuine interest but I'll give it a few more days because I thought we were all sorted. Ben (not benm) if you're out there dude, please shoot back an email or phone. The car has used a single tank of gas since the start of the year. Oh baby why is this market so slow. I am uber negotiable because I want the old girl to move on to her new home. BUY BUY BUY (well that worked for JAS-25T)

*groanage* Boo @ dudes that stop answering mobiles when it is time to do business.

I would have thought the starter motor drains more voltage than the fuel pump, so if your starter turns then your fuel pump should be working. Perhaps just an old fuel pump that has died?

Hey cheers Rob. How many guys do you need for a group buy? We could probably talk SAU NSW to buy one for the community tool shed.

Ouch! Justin glad to hear all sorted dude.
