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

    • Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too. 
    • Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.
    • Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.  
    • Dashcams Australia (13/05/25) captured JDMHSE (Vic plate) being a right tosser. 
    • Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
