Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

Was a lot of fun, the SS is a pig to skid...the benefits of a car up for track. Also she has started running really lean under load, anyone have suggestions on a cause? I suspect the fuel pump but don't know how to test it.

test voltage of fuel pump
I would mate. But no spare cash FTM and that would mean burn more money for 50kw. Not chasing more power anymore but focus on handling, reliability and response

Those turbos will be more responsive than your existing ones supposedly. 50 (or more) extra kW is just a bonus.

But yeah, cash monies are the problem. Would be 2k out of pocket in the end.

My car started running really lean for 1 dyno run yesterday, the tuner 1st thought dodgy fuel pump till I told him I bought it off him less than a year ago lol.

Turned out that a tiny vac hose going to the fuel pressure regulator had come off under boost. Anything like that on these engines?

If nothing simple like that, fuel pump and filter are next to look at.

    • Hey all, a little help from the Stagea hive mind plz.. I'm days away from buying either a 2002 Stagea 250tRS AR-X Four, premium leather, power seats and all the old switches etc that go with it, or a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO, pov pack, cloth seats etc, with coil overs, sports zorst, comes with original zorst and suspension and parts. (I think I've got the models right?) Both are VQ25DET, have 160000kms, both straight no rust both with $2000+ in recent servicing receipts, both ride on aftermarket 18" rims. The Aero has a replaced turbo as well. I like the cool factor of the Aero car but the AR-X has never been modified. Neither have been driven hardly at all in the last 5 years. Any thoughts on which one or does it come down to personal preference? davemoto 
    • Please let me know if anyone has seen my black Nissan Skyline 350GT-8 taken from Robe Terrace, Medindie, SA suspect taken between end of March to early April 2025! Have called impound yards & tow truck operators, no where to be found while I was away overseas! Plates DXPRS1 custom dark green on yellow back. Has a rear lip boot spoiler on the back as well.
