LOL, sounds very simlar to my problem! Have a look at my thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/360082-intermittent-fault-no-one-knows-what-it-is/

Does that sound like it?

I have 3 suggestions:

1. Fuel pump on its way out. I replaced mine but it gave no warning it was going to go. It was driving just fine and then one night it just wouldn't start. Unlikely to be this.

2. Intermittent wire short which is cutting power to the fuel pump. I just had this fixed on mine. Eventually it started blowing fuses. The problem started out like yours but got worse - only thing is, I'm not sure if I actually had 2 separate problems to begin with - one like yours, and the other with the car stalling randomly - or whether one caused the other. The short turned out to be near the O2 sensor - the wires running near the little heat shield. Don't know if yours could be these too?

3. Air flow meter. I suspect mine is playing up. Have a read of my thread to see the symptoms. This may have been caused by problem 2.

Let us know if/when you find the problem!

      We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
