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

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
