if i start my car after for 3-4mins of it sitting there it cuts out...ignition stays on but the engine dies...??? ( i dont have a turbo timer)

even if i rev it in that time it still cuts out after 3-4 mins...i doesnt cough and spluter like its strugling to keep running it just simply cuts out...this has never happend while driving or being stuck in traffic...just when ive left the car running while having a chat to someone or warming it up in the morning...doesnt matter wheather its hot or cold....

If you get out of the car after it's been running fine, and leave it for 3-4 minutes, would it stall then? Or does it happen PURELY if you haven't moved it?

Can you time it? Start your stopwatch and let it run till it shuts off. If it's a perfect number every time, you could suspect some sort of "feature" doing it. If it's random, then you can keep sussing it out.

it happens anytime the car hasnt moved for 3-4 mins...stock ecu...think ill pull out the stop watch and see if its consistant..oh and it did it before i got my alarm and theres no change after i got my alarm

Nice to see people reading your post properly eh? =-p

Only happens when car is warming up/not driven.

Doesn't happen after driving and then letting it idle.

Doesn't cut out while driving.

I'd be interested to see how accurate the timing of it is. Like I said, this will give you a faily good indication of whether it's an intentional thing or a real problem

put the handbrake down, see if it turns off after 3/4 mins

usually alarms timer/alarms are on the handbrake

and if it doesnt happen when your driving... would be cause its down.

If that is the case, then its alarm related, time to see an alarm installer as i bet its a mess.

Oh... I was going to suggest;

In the interests of testing your alarm features, try starting her up one morning, then doing the seatbelt up and closing the door. See if it dies.

Next morning, start her up but leave the door open.

I recken if it is related to an alarm, it'd be a safety feature against car-jacking or accidentally locking keys in or something like that.

Like... remote start on a timer... some alarms have those. I guess if it starts the car at 8AM for you, and you don't get in it cause you're on holiday or something... it would make sense for it to shut the motor down if you haven't entered the car. I'm guessing for that to work, the alarm would have to be ignorant as to how the car was started. (remote vs key start)

    • On 12th June, the mechanic could not figure out what the issue was, but the car seems to be flooding with fuel. He was suspecting the tune, thus referred me to a tuner. Although the tuner is not familiar with Nistune, last Monday (30th June), he came over to try and re-map it. Despite the tuner trying to completely stop fuel, it kept sounding like it was pushing fuel. Tuner ended up suspecting either the ECU or Injectors. I do not believe the ECU or Nistune is the issue, as the Nistune software reads and communicates properly. Today, I removed the (new) injectors to see if they are clogged or leaking. Surprisingly enough, after those 3 days of driving, injectors 2 and 3 look very blocked. You can see the difference in the picture. I blew a bit on 3, that is why it doesn't look as clogged as 2. I am still unsure if this is what is causing the no start issue, but I am now feeling that I may have bought the injectors and Nistune without the need to do so, as the problem seems to be coming from somewhere else.  
    • haha this shit box doesn't drink coolant, for now       Let me guess, they make heaps of power, use the car for straight line driving and don't care about noise
    • They’re so great that I know of someone pulling one out to go back to a sequential 
    • Hello everyone. I've recently started the research into R34 GTR front bits and running into eye watering prices. On the plus site it looks like some places make 'replacement' fender liners for these cars. At eye-watering-but-less than stock prices. I also noticed there's plenty of diffuser options available too. What I would like to know is if my following assumptions are correct. 1) The OEM guard liners are actually only 'half' the liner. They go together with the OEM brake vents which are a separate item which looks to be quite a large 'panel' that is part of the liner. The GTR bumper has bolt holes along the front. I assume the ones in the vent correspond to the ones the OEM liner does not have (circled?)   2) The V-Spec front diffuser supplants the brake ducts in the above item. I am assuming these still work with the guard liners as there's no alternate part that I'm aware of. I don't see how they go together, so I'm making the assumption that they have to, somehow. I know the center splash guard is different on the V-Spec (and is the price of the damn diffuser alone). How does the liner interact with this? 3) There's alternate front diffusers that do away with it all. Annoyingly, a lot of the clones and CF different ones... have no brake ducts on them. I like the idea of them though. My brakes get hot on the track. These alternate diffusers are a lot cheaper than plastic splash guards. I'm assuming you don't have to/aren't supposed to remove guard liners to run a diffuser. I suspect that quite a few people actually do not run the guard liner because with a front undertray you're getting a lot of 'splash' guarding anyway, and most people remove liners given they're probably running a pretty aggressive setup with a diffuser at the front. It would also be nice to know if anyone has ever run the 'reproduction' guard liners and know whether the fitment is OEM quality or "OEM Quality". Example: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/356254671561 https://carbonetics.net/products/nissan-skyline-r34-gtr-plastic-front-wheel-arch-set Is this knowledge still around?
    • Really, effort is pretty low. You hand fistfuls of cash over to someone else and pick it up when done...   And at least this shitbox isn't drinking coolant right?
