+1 to painful arms when they're under petrol for a while... Mine were burning like crazy!

That said I had started a bunch of engine mods and forgot that I shouldn't have had a full tank of fuel. Mine was literally about 80% full.... Mistake!

I was putting in a Bosch 040 into my R33 and the screw clamp I put around it was bulging out a bit in the wrong direction... Took me ages of arm immersion time to figure it out... Ouchies! yucky.gif

done it again tonight...i can still drive it its just got no guts, the turbo carries the car along...its sounds like a flooded motor...just a deep missing sound...thing is sometimes when i rev the shit out of it as i up the revs it corrects it and the car goes properly then when i take my foot off it does it again....i pulled the bonnet up and the motor sounds fine...it sounds like the exhaust...i am lost...i might have to take it to someone to get it looked at...only does it sometimes...

i hopoe its not because i wouldnt know the first thing aobut how to tune it...lol...ill go over the maf tonight...and ill see how involved it is in getting the injectors off and ill clean them too...it needs a good service anyways

Take it to a dyno, give the operator ~$80 to throw it on a dyno, check your boost, check your power, check your afr and potentially find the problem for you.

More often than not a failing afm causes starting and stalling issues with the car.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
