why does it matter? i don't care if you think it's weird or not funny. i've got a quirky sense of humor that you'll never understand through text on a forum and i'm not planning to change it unless i see something better which you probably won't approve of either. wasn't supposed to be a come back before because it's not an argument. just me being me.

Hey guys probley gona get flamed like hell but, ive taken off the standard cross over pipe off my NA skyline and replaced it with straight steel piping without a resonator box. Atm, from the throttle body there is a 45 degree 3inch silicon joiner, then about 30cm of metal pipe then a 3inch joiner, the AFM and a pod filter. As soon as i start the car it stalls instantly, if i rev it slightly it will run but very poorly and as soon as i take my foot off the accelerator the car stalls.

There are two hoses that are not connected to anything atm, on runs to the intake manifold and the other to the top of the cam covers, these at present are not joined to anything. how can this problem be fixed?

(Worst case senario, ill just put the standard cross over pipe back on. But would like to get this to work as have heard the induction noise using metal pipe sounds ok :P)

Thanks Nikk

Thanks to Zebra this may of been resolved, apparently the pipe running from the manifold back to the inlet pipe needs to be plumbed into the intake pipe itself..

Yep. Sounds like a severe vacuum leak. Basically by not having that hose connected you're allowing a lot of air into the intake that is un-metred. All air entering the intake has to go through the airflow meter otherwise it will run like shit and run lean.

I know i'm and apprentice mechanic and I should know what's wrong with the car but I don't and just want peoples opinions in what might be the problem.

Recently at times my fuel pump wont prime on start up but after you hit it then it would prime but today it has been realy bad, went to start it to go to work and didn't prime and it needed a few good hits and when leaving work today it took a couple more hard hits to work then filled the car up on south rd with BP Ultimate as usual and was about to exit the petty station and it stalled and wouldn't start for about 10min even with hitting the crap out of the fuel pump and swithing the ignition on and off to get it to prime.

Finaly got it started and 1km down the road it stalled again and did the same thing it did at the petty station........wouldn't prime for 10min, once it started I took off and when leaving some lights 2 min after it surged after changing to second (full tank of fuel)

Later after I left a mayes house it stalled after going around a round about a little too fast by accident after the rear slid out abit but the car started shortly after while cranking the car and having a mate belt the crap out of the fuel pump.

My 32 has a Walbro but not sure what one exactly as it came with the car. I wriggled the wires on top of the sender unit to see if that would do anything but it didn't. I have been told before that fuel pumps don't start to die they just die without warning that's why I would like some opinions.

Cheers Tim

If the brushes on the fuel pump motor are worn to there limits then they wont be contacting the armature on the shaft to energize the magnetic fields to make it turn.

A wire could break but still make a circuit when the insulation is holding it together. Then when everything warms up the insulation stretches and pulls the wire apart

Try puling each wire from its ends and see if the insulation stretches anywhere.

Check for voltage at the pump you might see the volts go from 12 to 0 then its the wiring. If you have constant 12v at the pump and the pump stops then its the pump.

Also do the relay mod and run a heavier wire to the pump through the relay.

I think you solved your own issue just buy a hammer to fix it..lol

brads right most likely R31 do that all the time,

also

check for dead fuel pump relay, think its a green one on that car. or some nissan use a transistor inside the ecu , which fry with big loads on big pumps

bad ground on pump ?

vapour locked, bad fuel.. when it happens open fuel lid let out hiss, try to start the car with the lid off fuel tank. E85 and E10 do this a lot , even more so at high altitude , not so much here

low voltage/intermittent voltage from worn out ignition barrel , heavy key chains are death to cars, car has a tiny fuel leak that airlocks the pump

Hey people, What does it mean when your car pretty much stalls taking off from traffic lights, coughs and splutters until you rev it a little, and power cuts out as your driving? Does it in every gear, but doesn't do it every/all the time (exept for last night) Had the 'exhaust gas temperature' light flash a few times last night as well, guessing that'd be due to higher revs, as last night was the first time the car has done that. Has stalled a few times when starting it up, only in the morning when the cars cold though.. Never cuts out completely when driving, just seems as though the motors not getting fuel? Seems to run a little better when I put octane booster in. Had a new turbo and stock exhaust put on recently, dont know if that'd have anything to do with it though? Got me baffled.

    • 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.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
