Can anyone recomend a good auto electrician? Im havig probs with the new car and it's really starting to bug me! Yesterday and today I was driving the car around for about five minutes and then suddenly the car would sort of jerk a bit, and then I would loose all rev power and the car would just sit on 1,000 revs and I could'nt moove the car, the needle would just hover between 1&2 revs. It would turn itself off, and then once I restarted it, it would drive fine. The problem happened again today. It feels like a fuel problem or a boost prob, any ideas?

Was the engine washed before it was sold to you? You could reset the comp. If its a fuel prob when you first start the car does it prime itself (buzz sound from the boot last for about 5-6 seconds). Is the battery ok?

Did the car get driven frequently before it was sold to you?

Sorry for the q's just trying to help a fellow GTR man

cheers

I dont think the engine baywas washed befoe I picked it up, as the car is like new. It drove fine on the way back to Canberra, the problem started 2 days after I got it.

Im not sure if it would be a battery problem, as the car starts fine and when driving just chockes and dies all of a sudden, usually when on boost. I wouldn't mind meeting up somewhere if you would like to have a look mat the car. It would be good to meet another GTR man.

check you're intercooler hosses/clamps as if it's loose excess air gets in causing the air flow meters to enrich the fuel way too much. i'm hoping that's not the prob because if it is you'll need to replace the cat and the spark plugs.

that's my two cents, nice ride though.

then again if in doubt give jake at jakes performance a yell on 62554545 in mitchell (next door to pulfords) he'll sort out da prob.

good luck

      Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.

      Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.

      That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!

      Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)

      Was that deliberate?
