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

  hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me

  Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.

  He still hasn't said what the fluid was, saying "Tomei fluid" isn't enough detail. Using my crystal ball, sounds like the diff oil was 80W90, that is the only "Tomei fluid" I can find anyway. This problem might have been solved in 5 seconds by using a decent 80w-140 oil.
