Hi guys,

To cut to the chase ive had this car for over 15 yrs now 94 R33 GTST. It is modified to support 500hp on e85. A few months ago now we were cleaning up the maps in the vipec ecu when the car started to act as if it had no/low fuel. So switching it back to 98 ron it picked up again and was sucessfully mapped on the dyno. However when taken on a road test it started to do the same thing. So like anyone would we replace fuel filter and fuel pump and to our surprise nothing changed. My friend is a proficient tunner and for months now the solution to our problem has eluded both of us. At witts end and cant figure out what is happening to my car. Any ideas ?? Injectors are all flowing fine.

No we havent checked that i did notice that it was blowing the hose from the intake side of the tappett cover but didnt think anything of it. It also just had an oil catch can fitted with a breather on it. Im not sure what fuel pressure its running at.

They were recently flow tested but could be blocked again

If you still have the old filter cut it open to see if its full of crud. E85 has the effect of cleaning out the tank and although you should be fine now some stuff may have got through to the injectors.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
