I was travelling home last night up Epping Road and as i was going up a hill the engine simply cut out on me, the stereo, lights were all still working fine, but the engine simply stopped. I was stuck there for about 5mins trying to restart the motor but it was not restarting, and then it restarted, but the revs were well below 1k when idling and if i didn't keep the revs up the engine would stall. Although i could restart the motor after a stall.

I haven't really had any troubles with my engine, so was very surprised when this happened.

I have an R32 gtst with RB20.

I've spoken to some people and i've had, Fuel Pump, Fuel Filter and Angle Sensor.

What do you guys think could be the problem? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Mine was doing this randomly. Took ages, to find, replaced the AFM and fixed it. I believe it was the solder on the pins where the plug goes on the AFM (on the inside). Don't take it off for a look thou, as it breaks the solder on all of the pins. I did this, and one of my pins look like the solder had been dodgy (ie oxidised where the pins should have been soldered on) for a while. I reckon this was the cause of my random low rev cutout and occasional total stall.

    • It's the adhesive holding the ceramic wheel to the shaft the fails on 90% of them.
    • Foreign debris, physical shock, boost leak, could be anything honestly. The danger in taking all the timing out of a tune/hitting the R&R corner is that even if the engine doesn't detonate your turbo is taking a lot of abuse from high EGT. Also, even if nothing goes wrong it is a journal bearing that is spinning at 100k RPM on boost. Eventually it goes through enough cold start/pressure cycles to wear it out.
    • I kinda accidentally saw this, and was interested, but It actually seems to replaces the whole center computer, using the existing screen and buttons. AND it may only be for a G37 and not compatible with a Japanese 370. So its not for me, but someone else may be interested to look into it. Its about $680USD. If I am understanding it right, it basically replaces/installs and android pc that integrates with the existing screen. But I could be wrong. https://gromaudio.com/vline/ The video I first saw was the following, with very little and unclear details.     Even if your not interested in the system, the video on their site was pretty comforting in showing how simple the whole centre comes out
    • hfygrte52 what side you looking for? Do you care what color car it's off? Found a white LH side on here: https://skylinespares.com.au/product/nissan-skyline-r33-coupe-rear-tail-light/   Aussie parts place but will ship to USA. Maybe get it before there's a tarrif on 25yo shit box parts
    • I’m with Shannon’s for all 5 of our cars. Agreed values seem fair, premium price is okay. ($210 ish a month, all comprehensive).  Have claimed once with them for a not at fault claim with another car where my car had no damage. Was one call after the incident and an email after. Deemed not at fault so premium didn’t go up either.    I have called up and spoken with people who are not familiar with certain cars and didn’t agree with me on value or let their personal vehicle preferences effect the call. But called back later and got someone else who was more agreeable.
