I just recently bought a r31 before christmas and i havnt had time to take it to my mechanics because of work and him being closed for the christmas and new year period. I was driving it today and started to go past 2.5 to 3k revs and the car just shit itself and started loseing revs and they where dropping from 0 up again and so on. Im new to the rb world and i have no clue what it could be. I know the cars needs a definate service and a new gearbox and also theres sort of a rubbing noise when i engage the clutch (sounds like a tyre rubbing against somthing) but this problem with the loss of power hasn't happend since iv been driving the car. does anyone have any idea what could be.

ok, first of all, i'm guessing that the rubbing noise in the clutch is probably the thrust bearing. nothing overly serious or expensive, but worth replacing when you can.

as for the miss, i'm not overly familiar with the rb30 (assuming yours has a rb30), but they run a distributor ignition don't they? it may possibly be a short in the leads, dizzy etc.

hopefully it aint nothing major coz im already throwing alot of money at it to get the current problems fixed and i wouldnt like anymore at this stage. Once its all fixed im going to start learning about the engine and try and build on my little mechanical knowledge. as for now i guess im not touching the car till my mechanic opens up again so i can drive it straight there and find all the problems

seeing as the car needs a service asap coz the oils black i think the fuel filter is prob dirty coz i when i filled it up for the first time i put 98 in it so its prob collected all the crap and its blocked the fuel filter i think thats maybe why it might be doing the rev problem

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
