So I've been having this issue lately on and off where the engine looses power. The best way to describe it would be it's like turning off the car except all the electrics, dash, lights and everything else works perfectly it's just the engine cutting out. I've had it into the mechanics and like usual they couldn't get it to do it. So they have given me the usual check list. Wriggle the loom with the car running and try to cause the problem, change AFM and back the BOV off a bit but I'm still having this issue. The problem is it might not do it for a day or two then just when I begin to think the problem has gone, BAM cuts out again then it will play up every 100m. Sometimes it will only loose power for a split second other time it will do it for a 30 or 40 seconds. It happens any time from being stopped at lights to cruising at 100km/h. Normally it will stall then I will turn it on and it fires fine for maybe .5 of a second then it stalls do that 3 or 4 times till it finally stays running. I have noticed when it has stalled while the revs are still dropping if I hold the accelerator in the boost gauge moves from vacuum to 0 and I can hear a slight sucking noise. I'm not sure if that has any bearing on anything or not but it's about the most I can come with. The fuel gauge is also playing up which has me thinking maybe there could be an electrical fault in the pump craddle somewhere and the fuel pump is loosing power. Anyone had this problem before or does anybody have any idea's of what else I could try? It's really doing my head in. Also the car is relatively stock just has a front facing plenum, front mount, exhaust and boost-T. Thanks

I know this issue has been done to death, but after hours of searching I haven't found a thread similar to my problem nor a solution. For the past few weeks (roughly the time that I've owned my GTR) I've noticed at random times my HICAS light will flash a couple of times and the steering will become hard and it will go away a few seconds after. It doesn't happen all the time, but it's intermittent. Today on the way back from the shops, the HICAS lights came on, my car stalled for a split second and came back to life. About a minute after same thing happened, but this time the car stalled and would not start. When I turned the key onto the ON position, I get no dash lights, the radio wasn't working and I had no Power Windows, no AC etc, but my hazzard lights and interior lights were working. After about 10 or 15 minutes on the side of the road, and after continuously trying to start the car, it managed to start again but stalled after 3 or 4 meters. I decided to remove the battery terminal and connecting it again and it managed to start. I managed to get it home with the HICAS light flashing every now and then and stalling one more time. Has anyone had this issue before or know what's happening? I really want to get the car fixed up asap as I need it to get to work. Thanks. Edit: Forgot to mention the car would not even crank. When I turn the key it was completely dead. Edit 2: The car is just on the driveway at the moment, and same issue. It will not start/crank. No dash lights etc. At least it's at home and not on the side of the road I guess..
