As above, seems when ever I'm having fun I get fuel surge even with half a tank of fuel. Has anyone installed a surge tank to the stagea's, I only suffer this when right hand down I'm yet to try left hand down

What do you mean by fuel surge? Are you losing power? I have a surge tank as it happens but never suffered from " fuel surge " before I installed it (or after). A surge tank is only necessary when you are tracking it with a near empty tank. I would say you have another problem. Changed your fuel filter lately or perhaps your pump is on the way out?!

Having said that your pickup is on the rhs so it is logical that the pickup is more likely to be exposed when turning right. Maybe your pump has not been installed correctly and the arm with the sock is not flat on the floor of the tank.

Are you running stock pump still ??

Surge tanks are insurance policy ,not just when tank is near empty but at any stage. By the looks of it you like having fun in the stag, I'd be checking filters including sock filter on pump and while you got it out change the pump to a deutchwerks Intank or walbro and give it a direct battery feed so 12v+ switched of course ,and if ya looking to mod in the future chuck a surge and external pump on when ya do :)

mmmm guys I'm very well away of doing things properly, and I am able to diagnose fuel surge! I was more interested in if people suffered from it and what they needed to do to fix it, where and how the installed a surge tank,

I also competed in a motorkhana and experience the same problem with right hand down (so it's obviously a problem with fuel to the pick up)

and it's very easy to do burnouts in a stagea. Drive in at 40 , clutch in handbrake side step hold on!

How did u get ur 260 to do a skid, i would say ur problem lays there. Ghetto wiring, and a shit fuel filter all add to the drama.

Tunes, cooler pipe leak, the list is endless untill you corner where the problem is.

Ghetto wiring lol

Well here's my surge tank but I don't suggest you copy it. As its in a station wagon there is no boot compartment. I have made a metal cover which has sound absorbing material inside and outside but my Bosch 044 is still very noisy. If I were to do it again I would either put the surge tank under the body in front of the petrol tank or preferably get a tank made up with a home for the fuel pump(s) built below tank level so its all in one and you don't need a lift pump.

getto wiring, you guys are muppets! so before you make you stupid comments, not all people do dodgy's and some people can drive in a small area and whip donuts in 4wd with no problems, especially in a massive fridge.

In saying that towards the end the 4wd light came on, which obviously stop putting power to the front wheels believe it was from when the car got fuel surge. waited turned the car off at the end, turned it on again and it's been fine since

that doesn't show the roll in , but as you can see before the surge it was spinning as it would in 4wd

Thanks KiwiRS4T that's a start for me to have a look and work out where to go! I was going to look at in rear drivers side compartment, see if there is enough room around the atessa pump, see if could get a surge tank made to fit in there. or in the spare tyre area, get something fab in there, but like you said, main concern is it's a family car (Children in it regularly) that if we have a rear car accident I wouldnt want that to well you know what im saying.

Fuel pressure reg, I don't think that's going to help here. Id smash some new filters in Lars, its a cheap way of eliminating one thing. Then throw a big boschy in!

Sif not skid a stagea guys, fark.

I can see this car going bang soon ! You can fit a small surge behind petrol tank at the back very neatly. Still looks like your only rwd in the skid as you stop and start doing donuts from a stationary start or was that when your your 4wd light was on ? Grab your self a tcs controller and you can manually dial in ya front and rear split and save ya altessa system .

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
