Hey SAU first post here :)

Just want some advice as dont know a huge amount about skylines. I just went for a drive in my r33 gtst and just had a quick loss of power almost like a complete cutout of the motor for a second. Im running standard boost and car is completly original besides a K&N pod filter. Currently it is extremely hot here in SA probably around 44degress outside so not sure if it has anything to do with it cause it was doing it at higher revs when i put my foot for a second. A friend told me about heat soak or something on hotter days. Could it be doing R&R or was risking detonation cause of the hot day so ecu was protecting the motor lol. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. The car only did it once just then and hasnt done it since.

Thanks SAU

I had to drive on Hume Highway in 2012 on the day of the big bushfires..........48'C. I couldn't go over about 85km/h. Oil and exhaust temps would just soar into the danger zone if I did. Actually had a Highway Patrol car follow me for 30km waiting for me to do something wrong and just as I came into Holbrook - and it was two way traffic - a 4wd going north caught his interest so it was lights on and a quick U turn and he was gone. My aircon actually stopped working it got that hot!!!

So I'm with Kinks, poor Skyline being boosted on a 44'C day!!! Remember your Skyline is an old car 10-20 years old in fact. Have a look around you and see what other 15 year old cars look like - most are ready for the tip!!!

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      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.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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?
