datdrift is an unknown quantity at this point
Default won't pull past 5000rpm

when under full load the motor won't pull past around 5 - 5.5 rpm.....i thought it might have been due to advanced timing, but now im thinking it may be down to lack of fuel getting to the engine the fuel pump has been making occasional strange noises so i thought maybe its on its last legs?? anyone have any ideas, it has had this problem since i have had it when it was running a non-intercooled 8psi but it seems to be worse now im pushing more fuel thru.
thinking about it i havent changed the fuel filter since ive had it so maybe this is partly blocked??? i need to change the oil so i'll prob grab a fuel filter off nissan at the same time and see if it makes any difference
any ideas

Check your injector plugs mate, i know pukka had a very similar problem and he found one of them was only making half contact

i'll have a look.....
just fitted a new fuel filter, and found the bit of fuel hose below it was well craked and perished, so put a new bit on, started her up and it started idleing at about 1500 - 1800rpm when before its always idled at 8-900rpm

idle from warm and still doing it when hot, i don't think the choke works, cos its never idled higher than around 1000rpm.....could be an air leak, but all i changed was the fuel filter and one fuel pipe so i dident disturb any boost pipes......
in second gear its more like 4 - 4500rpm that it hesitates at
anyone think of any parts i should try changing as ive got a few spares
