Hey guys,

So my brother decided to take my R32 GTR for a spin last night but was too cheap to refuel it with petrol, I took the car out this morning and it was on the verge of conking out. So I pull over into some crappy servo only about 2-3 mins from my house and put in 5 bux of their premium stuff, i think it was 95 Octane. Thought it was just enough to get me to the nearest Mobil (BP are out of Ultimate in Vic atm.)

Leave the servo, give the car a little squirt, car starts hesitating, backfiring.

I drive the car for 2 mins back home. I go to the nearest Mobil (in another car) and get 20L of their 98 Octane, put it in the GTR.

Doesn't solve the problem. The car at the moment sounds like a WRX, from the exhaust side of things anyway. Sounds terrible, will have to take a further look tommorow. I'm assuming it has something to do with the fuel pump getting at the crappy stuff at the bottom of the tank, or the crappy 95 Octane petrol, or my injectors are now blocked. Hesitates/Backfires/Coughs like a mofo.

Anyone else had any fuel related issues, or could it be something else?

Appreciate any help guys.

Thanks,

Ali.

There is no way 5l of 95 octane fuel caused you a problem unless you got straight back in on a hot day and gave it plenty.

I reckon blocked fuel filter or dying fuel pump, bit possibly any other missfire reason like dirty AFMs, boost leak, dying coilpack, spark plugs etc etc

Thanks for the input guys.

Was injectors, got them sorted yesterday, car is running schmick again.

I was pretty sure that such a little bit of fuel wouldn't cause the car to stuff up, i reckon it was more to do with the left over crap at the bottom of the tank effecting them.

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
