Just happened a few hours ago. I turned right into Burwood hwy from Springvale Rd. I put my foot down on the gas slightly to climb the hill and felt no power from it. Tried again and same result. I started making my way to the left lane as I knew something was wrong. Kept trying to get some power but nothing.

Eventually it stuttered and came to a complete stop where the engine died.

I noticed the orange hicas light was on after my engine died. Probably normal but never noticed it before if it is.

I waited a few seconds then tried to start the car and everything seemed back to normal. I took it very easy all the way home as I didnt want to be stranded anywhere.

I know it could probably be one of a million things but any ideas what it could be?

any advice on what I should do would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Almost Full tank.

Fuel Filter .. I don't remember it ever being changed. I just take it to my mechanic and he does his magic but it has been a while since the last service. I've been waiting for Ben @ RacePace for bout 8-9 weeks now.

My car had the same probably, though it didnt stall, but felt like it was going too... and i changed the fuel filter and its improved, though i think my spark plugs need chaning too. Havent really been able to see if its totally fixed the problem because after it happened i blew a diff so the cars been off the road since.

Try the fuel filter, takes about 10minutes to remove, 10minutes to install and you can pick up one for $10-$15 at repco.

      Rusty roof repair

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
