it would rust if it had water in it for a long time and very little fuel but would have to be siting there for a long time . have a look if rusted badly replace if only a little clean it up ,change the fuel filter , clean the pick up and keep an eye on ur fuel filter in the future rubish in it .

  • 9 months later...

im pretty sure i have the same problem as u... how did u end up goin with it ?

Also where is the fuel filter ?

I have taken the plate off at the back and the 8 screws... is it ok to take the hoses off too ?

I can sorta of see the tank and the fuel does look a rusty brown colour... Is that normal ?

Thanks for the info...

ummm, is it stating the obvious that your car may be running an aftermarket fuel pump that wasnt installed properly, and what you are getting is fuel surge, i bet it happens going thru roundabouts too.

If its the std fuel pump check that its installed correctly in the std bracket. Coudl be a problem with the pickup

In an R32 GTST with std ECU, does the fuel pump run at a constant speed/pressure, or does it ramp up based on rpm and load via a signal from an ECU...i ask because i know of an R33 that with a Power Fc had the fuel pump whining at idle, but when the std ecu was in itm at idle the fuel pump was quiet and it was only when under load that the fuel pump whined...so assuemed that based on load the voltage to the pump was increased

    • Not alot of room in the front or mid pipe to play with Helmholtz chambers, plus they are pretty hit and miss getting the length and volume right, and time is money when it comes to trial and error testing at a exhaust shop, it isn't like test fitting mufflers or resonators From previous experience with exhausts and trying to tone down the volume and eliminate some drone, a resonator in the mid pipe typically make it much better,  and even possibly stop Jackie complaining about it, me, I really don't notice it that much, but, I am pretty deaf 🤣
    • I know it's an entirely different engine, but I noticed practically 0 difference removing or adding 2x 3in (5inch body) 400cell cats (one in each bank) with regards to sound. So changing the cat to change drone I suspect will have very very, very, very, very, very very minimal impact.
    • 200 cell cat will probably help. Do you have room to tee off a Helmholtz resonator anywhere along the exhaust? These can do wonders for drones, with a little experimentation with regards to length.
    • The car revs up through the gears much better/faster now, and fuel consumption doesn't really seem to have be affected either on a Hwy cruise, which wasn't expected  The FAB9 intake manifold has been problematic sourcing though, I've contacted Plasmaman to ask about their intake, which you can get different runner lengths spec'd, and, their different options for throttle bodies  The only real physical drawback with the Plasmaman intake is how to connect it to my current OEM style airbox, as FAB9 make a OEM style back half of the airbox to suit the larger diameter throttle body, and all that is required is a 30°bend silicone pipe to mate the throttle body to the airbox Car also goes in for some exhaust work in a week or so to fit the biggest resonator they can fit clearance wise in the front pipe to help remove some of the drone, there isn't alot of realestate under there, a rough guesstimation is it will only be about 3-400mm long and maybe 90-100mm diameter, and with a 60mm exhaust that doesn't leave alot of space for the internal volume of the resonator to do its thing I'm thinking I may need to bin the "high flow" 100 cell cat for something a bit more substantial, yeah, and restrictive, like a 200-400 cell, to help, but, I have ample room for a really large bodied cat to replace the current one which has around a 4" diameter body I may look around in the recycling bins and see if I can find a massive newish cat that was "replaced" with some new full exhaust system that the local exhaust shop in Western Sydney is doing
