Can you give some symptoms of when it stalls?

How it stalls (Does it sputter and cough and then die, or just CONK as if you turnt it off, or does it slowly drop the revs until it dies?)

Conditions under which it does it? (Driving normal, after a hard hit on the throttle and then just releasing the throttle and putting clutch in?)

When it's cold/warm?

Only at night/day (Air temp variability)

More info please.

Yeah thats wat i reckon definately wierd alright. Originally i thought vacuum leak but ive checked jus about every hose out it is fairly modified car apart from internals an turbos. But it's drivin me crazy ive checked the most obvious connections from air flow meters to wiring loom connections.

Hey MBS206 matey all of wat you have said it jus drops out when it feels like it very unpredictable it only basically started happening jus before the Power/FC went in

Have you replaced the fuel filter? Fuel pump?

How old is the battery? As has been said numerous times before, Skylines are VERY sensitive to voltages; if you have a sus battery, it's totally unpredictable how the ECU will handle that.

So just before you did the PFC it started mucking up.

Just does it randomly? I'm putting money on a very small vacuum leak. I had one also, and mine just randomly stalled. Fixed the leak so far, and it's not stalling. (So far)

Checked the bov? It could well be leaking where BOV joins intake piping.

Does it like to stall if you do a slow gear change whilst cruising along?

Fuel system is ruled out because every thing that relates to the fuel system has been replaced an is brand new etc Fuel inj, fuel rail, braided hoses, external pump an internal fuel pump, billet fuel filter.

I was driving it to day an it was really bad. I'm thinkin it might be a vacuum problem to jus with the symptoms an all.

The battery is no more than 5 months old so thats out the window too. The timer is reading 13.5v in normal driving conditions.

Ive descreened the AFMs, but where they bolt on i know they are cracked would that cause the problem do you think

Please tell us more.

Simply stalling?

Does it cut when your driving.. just loose all power come to a stop on the side of the road, start her up and your off again?

Stalls approaching traffic lights/gearing down etc?

Cruising along does it buck? Then in a similar fashion stall if at low rpm?

Off the top of my head..

Regardless of if things have been replaced or not when its playing up:

Check AAC 'solanoid' is working correctly

Check pwr steerpump idle up is working correctly

Check a/c idle up is working correctly

Check Cas

Check fuel pressure

Check vacuum leaks

Check all earths.

Swap out ecu's

Put the screens back in (You're talking about the mesh yeah?) and then fix the cracks.

Cracks will enable un metered air, and unfiltered air, to enter the system.

Basically, the car can't tell how much air is actually getting to it!

Even if you just get a roll of duct tape so you can drive to the shops to get the AFM cracks fixed.

I have cracked AFM and it didn't stall until the roller bearing turbo went in, then i start to have this stalling issue as well.

Basically while driving, come to a fast stop, car will stall. Just recently found out its the stupid after market BOV that leak. Luckly i managed to scored a whole stock BOV kit for $100. Ready to go in.

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
