Hey all

I just went and looked at this r32 gtst for sale today now the car hadnt been driven in about 7 months and had been parked in the garage since. so we put a new battery in it and when i went for a test drive it wouldnt rev past 3 to 4k rpm and it would miss and try to back fire the car has no mods bar a 3inch axhaust and has done 112thousand ks. it had a quater of tank of petrol and all vacuum lines under the hood were all conected and electrical components ok also, any one got any ideas what it could be?

my only thought so far is the car had only a little fuel in it so the petrol had sort of evaporated and gotten a little shitty over the past months,, any suggestions?

cheers Keith

Replace the tank of petrol in it with some fresh 98 octance stuff and try again. I think your on the money.

If it was running fine 7 months ago then would assume not coilpacks or plugs.

I agree, fuel sediment settles over long times and can block your injectors, causing similar [if not as extreme] problems. I'd still be careful and possibly get the RACV to do a Comprehensive inspection of the vehicle before you buy it. I bought mine after a RACV Test and they outlined -all- of the potential problems with it, meaning you have a list of 'to do' before you even drive off.

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
