my r33 does this as well....

could be driving around, and then at a set of lights just *off*, doesnt sputter just turns off as if someone removed the key..

ive had 2 mechanics look at it, both pointed finger at my turbosmart type2 bov that i put on it... saying vacuum leak

so to prove that theory we hooked it up a smoke machine and no leaks were found... plus the problem was there with the standard bov also.

mechanic #1 - electrical problem most likely and need to go to nissan so they can wack there diagnostic computer on it to see where the issue is... (not many mechanics have these since the units cost $80k - hence why nissan service department you must go)

before i tried nissan, went to another mechanic and it had him scratching head also... he increased the idle a bit, that helped a small bit , so now instead of dieing 8/10 times its 5/10 times...

im considering ringing up nissan tomorrow (brisbane) and asking them about it, and also how i can go about fixing my odometer that just stopped :P

bullshit! read, we don't know what we're doing so therefore we'll just tell you some b.s. to get you off our backs. The ECU itself has its own diagnostic mode that they probably don't even know about.

Take it to somewhere that knows skylines, and most likely they'll be able to fix the problem in an hour or so.

hey dstylez: what are you idling at? You can up the idle as a bit of a temporary measure until you can get it properly looked at.

Mario,

If its the same problem mine had, it would cut out at sets of lights, turning into a carpark, or just .. stop when it felt like.

I thought it was after I had just run it hard, but after a few experiments it just did it when it felt like. I also noted that everytime I would go down Marshall Road towards the freeway (the set of lights that actually sits under the freeway) it would cut out.

I took it to my trusty old mechanic [plug] GAVIN WOODS [/plug] and said "Gav.. car broken, fix." He said "Ok"

Ended up being that the throttle body gets clogged.

And what would you know, he fixed it and it doesn't cut out anymore! He was right! As usual :P

Soo this maybe your problem. It may not be. Apparently they are rumoured to have this problem.

Might be an idea to ring Gav and get him to check it out!

***********************************************

Just a question (after reading the rest of the posts) Did you buy your car from Streetmachines per chance :D

Uhm, my odometer stops when it turns over to the next 10,000k's. This is a sign of wear in the odometer gears (usually meaning the car's odo has been wound back quite a bit). Gav fixed mine too. Although, cause its worn, it stops every 10,000k's and clicks over when it feels like it. It eventually moves....

ok theres another thought on the subject, ill keep that one in mind...

im going to do the different wiring setup on the fuel pump that i read in another thread to keep it operating at 100% instead of it dropping down when it hits 500-800rpm and see what result this achieves ... failing that ill tackle the same possible problem as you had ..

thanks for the info..

who is this gavin woods that fixed your odometer ??

i cant find any record of him in white pages at all , so either he's a very private small person or just not added..

id be very interested in having him look at my odometer and getting it working again, if he has done same for you previously..

thanks

My car was stalling too, I have a ATMO Bov. I knew it wasn't just the Bov so I took it too Just Jap in Sydney...They have the computer to plug into the ECU...

The ECU said that the power steering sending wasn't working, replaced and all good.

if the sender is rooted it won't adjust the revs for the steering, thus when you on low revs, like when your turning into a car park...the engine will stall becuase of the load from the power steering...

just something else to check.

Dstylez, I had a similar problem, can you tell me, when it happened were you slowing down, gunning it, or stopped? When it didn't have the problem, and you would come to a stop, would the revs severely dip down and then stabilise? What's your fuel economy like? If you can answer these for me then it might be similar to mine and if I can, i'll let you know what I did to fix mine.

Cheers.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
