ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROCTECTION WHEN UNPUGGING FUEL HOSES....
Pull the fuse to the fuel pump while the engine is running (or in your case, while cranking the engine), and the bulk of the pressure will be released. The fuel cap can't hold the pressure you encountered.

You got me!

THere has to be compression, spark, fuel to make it go and you have it all.

Is there an air leak in the system? but that shouldn't be an intermittent effect, it should be constant.

I'm surprised the auto sparks couldn't fix it.

There has to be some control on the system, an CAS or similar. I have just searched the manual for a result, but I'm sure you would have gone through that check list, coz they say things like cold start sensor, air leaks, fuel pump etc etc .

I could understand a run rough under load, but not simply nothing.

Sorry!

Ok. Get this...Car is fixed now, there was a fuel line being crimped somehow under the fuel tank. $100 later and shes fixed

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
