R32 cutting out?

OK guys - here's my first post in the forum, so treat me kind. I have a stock 1992 r32gts-t which has been humming along just fine for the last two years (apart from the alarm shorting out and setting some of the interior wiring on fire ... but that's another story).

Anyway, I start up the car yesterday morning and it turns over and over and does nothing. I think maybe it's fuel, so give the tank a "thud" then it finally starts - and slowly comes to life. It then coughs and splutters for the first 10 min or so. After this, it seems fine, except it still seems to cut in and out once I get on boost - like it's starving. When I stop and start during the day the same happens, then when I leave it overnight I have to revert to a "thud" to the fuel tank to wake it up. I did a search on old forum threads but couldn't find anything similar.

Given it happened so suddenly, does it sound like a fuel pump problem? If so, what's the best way to go about fixing it? I hear a factory replacement pump is around $700! Any thoughts appreciated!

Welcome to SAU Jedi,

If it is your fuel pump...(which is what it sounds like to me given that a thud to the tank helps!)

A GTR pump ($350-500) second-hand would be better than a GTS-t factory one especially if they charge $700 for one! The GTR pumps flow upto 450hp-500hp.

Have you replaced plugs or fuel filter lately?

Just trying to help!

Is that your skyline in your avatar? (looks real good!! I really like black R32's)

MEGA - thanks for the reply. I haven't done the plugs or filter for about 6 months, so probably time now. As to a second hand GTR pump - I may need help with where you'd get something like that. I'll try a trawl through the classifieds forum but other than that is there a place you'd recommend?

And yes that is my car - having looked at the pics of yours I can see why you like it! NICE GTS-4 you have there!

I think I worded that badly. I have now 6000k's in total since I have had it. That makes it about 1500 k's a month.

It has done a couple of Can-Syd return trips, a 2 day trip checking out rural land and general get me to work stuff.

Now we have the x-trail it shouldnt do so much work. Then again I am going to Maitland Wed/Thurs so there goes another 1000ks!

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
