Hi took my 32 gtt to the drags last.night. pulled a 13.11 pass. she gets up to 170 before the end. to start off with.she was fine.but later on in the night when I started backing down after the.run she would completely.die on me unless I gave it revs. I. its pretty freaky to lose power steering and brake assist at 170 so any help would be much appreciated

the whole car is standard except cat back exhaust and hks intercooler. it was in gear but clutch in it would just die unless i gave it revs. i was only using gears to slow it down from about 100km. "KLIONO" was there with his track 32 gtst he said he had problems with his fuel pump overheating but not sure if this problem is present in GTRs and if so how to solve it. its a 1994 model with 83000 on the clock

Fuel pump overheating... Gotta say in 8 years - That's a first.

Load of rubbish that advice.

Just sounds like a minor VAC leak causing things to unsettle if it's only doing it in a full throttle/hard brake scenario. Go in search of it, or just don't take it out of gear.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
