hey all

My new stagea has a problem.

My new car pics&details

the car is automatic, and today when i was driving it, it stalled on me two or three times. was travelling at walking speeds in a car park and the check engine light would come on then the car would stall seconds after. I think i sore the O2 sensor light come on but im not 100% sure because by the time i looked down car had stalled and was in accessories mode. the car will restart with no worries at all.

anyone have any clue to what this is?

P.S. Dont wash your engine, or you'll have more then stalling problems

yeah hey i had the same problem with mine not so long ago i checked all vacuum lines and no leak i then started checking everything it turned out to be the O2 sensor. hope you can get it fixed soon cause it is a bitch when it happens especially if your going around a round about and u got nothing the steering is heavy as hell

what was wrong with the sensor? is it the sensor in the dump/front pipe or the one in the cat?

It's in the the front/dump pipe. Visible from the top of the motor. Like most electrical stuff, they usually either work or they dont. I've never had to replace one, so others here may be able to shed more light. But basically, it simply unscrews and you whack in a new one. Prolly best if you spray the thread with WD40 or similar to loosen the rust. If possible borrow a friends as this could turn out to be an expensive and pointless exercise if the original is OK. Still, they're not that dear - under $100. Check that the voltage outputs on the replacement 0r borrowed one are the same as the original.

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
