Ok this is the story my mate has a soarer and i got it goin the other nite since it hasnt been started for 6 mths, we jumped started it took it for a drive ran fine besides a winey power steer pump, so tonite i went to get it goin again and it started but kept cuttin out, like i had to hold the revs to keep it goin, so i assumed altenator not chargin, oh we put a new battery in it btw, so i drove it home keepn the revs up cause as soon as i let go off throttle she cuts out. so i drove it and as i got half way down my street it started runnin sluggish like not goin over 10km/h den it cut out and wouldnt start, so we pushed it the rest of the way i havnt looked at it but any ideas what it could be, could the altanator not chargin be a cause of it runnin like shit since the electrics not gettin powerd to full potential, i havnt cheked plugs or fuel filter yet as it was dark but is there any ideas as they would be appreciated. I no its not a skyline and im in the wrong forum so i thought i give it a go any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
    • Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
    • I refer you to this thread on PF, by someone who knows what he's doing. Paints a good picture of the humble AD09.
    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
