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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?

      Anyone running the VQ37VHR with forced induction?

      I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.

      Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?

      Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.

      Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
