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.

      Actually,  just remembered there should be info in the threads (somewhere) about swapping to a manual steering rack and deleting power steering all together.

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open

      R34 power steering

      Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.

      Skid pans in/around Sydney?

      By Kinks · Posted

      I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
