I Drive a 1998 Nissan Skyline R34 25-GT (import), I had it in the shed for 3 months then went to start it up and the battery is dead, which figures lol but after i jump started it, it started to have an engine chug sound, it does it in neutral, park, and while driving, it sounds like the fuel pump, but would like verification and details on which and where to buy.

Fuel filter. You have old fuel in there. Fuel goes stale after a while and loses both it's octane rating as well as the amount of force it explodes with, resulting in both gunk building up in the fuel system and the car not running properly. It may take a few tanks of fuel for it to run 100% again

ok, so ive put a new battery, new fuel and a new fuel filter in, (which was hard considering im still on compo with hand surgery haha) it stopped chugging for bout 20 mins and started again, im thinking mad082 is right about just needing more fuel ran thru it due to its low octane rating, i only put 10L in and there was about 10 already in it.

What do you think?

And its back, after about a month of driving it, it seemed fine and running perfect and then last week the chugging was back, the exact same sound and problem, so i bought ECUtalk, and plugged it in and got it working, but it says "error 55" which is no malfunction, so im now confused of what to do if the ecu says its running fine :S Tomorrow ill be pulling the coilpacks out and checking them with a multimeter to make sure they are fine as i am assuming that either the coilpacks or fuel pump is the cause. But has anyone got any ideas on where to go and what to check?

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
