R32 Fuel Problems, Running Badly

G'day,

My mate has a RB20 '92 gtst. Firstly, mods, front mount, bleed valve (running standard boost at the moment), turbo back.

Basically he's skyline has the standard skyline problem of stalling, but this one is different. He has changed the timing belt and water pump recently and since then the car is running badly, i.e struggling to start, lacking power. He also tells me that he removed the pump assembly from the fuel tank becuase he needed to check why he's fuel gauge wasn't working, he did nothing, took it out, checked resistance in the sender and put it back in. Then some reason the fuel gauge started working and the car is lacking response.

When it's first started no matter hot or cold, it runs like a dog for say 4 mins. I have swapped the airflow over with mine and it still does it, and he has a new 02 sensor. Sometimes it runs bad like it's in limp home mode, backfiring and carring on, so I thought maybe its overfueling or something fuel related

Thought it has to be something to do with him taking the pump out or something, but the thing is, disconnect the fuse and the pump, run the car, till stalls, keep turning for 30secs. Remove a hose of the pump and it is pouring out, and I mean pouring, alot more than usually happens and its coming out of the tank side not the hose going to the engine. Put it back on and took the other off, same thing, tried both off, same thing. It's basically like the pump is on a little and it keeps coming. It's on just under half tank too.

Would this be pointing to something wrong down that end? Pump? Or maybe the regulator is dead? It's just strange it happens after he did something. What could it be as I can't get it out with petrol pouring all over the shop, something to do with the new water pump and belt?

Cheers help out please

And sorry for the story, any help is sensational

      Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.

      Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.

      There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.

      Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
