Hey guys just wondering if anybody has had a low fuel pressure problem? My v35 was sitting for a couple of months waiting for a new clutch after it was all installed i cranked it over and it started fine but instantly started idling rough revd do op to 500 and almost stalls, there is little to no throttle response and will stall if you dont pump the accelerater to try get the revs up? Has anyone had any similar issues?

When it first ran bad it threw two codes for the vvt solenoids we cleared it and it came back straight away i bought new ones and codes are gone speaking with a couple of my mates they sugested a couple of things that it could be a mechanic friend said it sounded like a blocked exhaust but we unbolted it and didnt change anything also low oil pressure was suggested we checked it last week and pressure seemed normal except it would rise and drop with the revs when it was about to die. Then it was brought up that it might be starving for fuel and without trying to rig up the oil pressure guage to the fuel line i cant tell if it is, so i was turning to the forum i get most of my answers from for advise ??

and i havent cleaned out throttle body yet

Well im just seeing if anyone has some advise for anything i can check to cross off the list, trying to avoid the mechanics but if its too hard to pinpoint ill take it in. Ive looked through alot of threads and havent seen anything with the same symptoms as mine. I know it might be annoying to tell people the same shit but if anyone has anything i can try i would appreciate the advice ?

The usual list is:

  • Dirty fuel injector(s)
  • Fouled/worn spark plugs
  • Faulty coils
  • Dirty IACV
  • Dirty/stuffed AFM (including dirty sensor element, dry/cracked solder joints, bad loom pin connections)
  • Bad CAS loom pin connections
  • Dying fuel pump or FPCM

And to that there is a random selection of other possible shit, like the O2 sensor can cause wierdnesses, the fuel pressure reg could just possibly be stuck open, and so on.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
