get a rubber hammer and when it stops get out and bang the fuel tank with the hammer see if it starts, sounds like a fuel pump.

wassup

Fuel Pump? At the moment I dont have any trouble starting the car, the engine is just cutting on me and now sometimes it feels like im driving with low petrol - jerking movement

could be a dodgy earth somewhere, or a wire has a tear in it and is rubbing on the body or something and shorting out. might be doing it ini a way that isn't blowing a fuse.

i don't think it will quite be the same, but i used to have a whippersnipper that used to do this. it had a dodgy fuel cap. the fuel cap on it had a vavle that was supposed to let air in as the fuel was used, but not let fuel or air out, and it was blocked so it was creating a vacuum and starving the engine of fuel.

Went to the mechanic yesterday and we hooked up a Fuel Pump meter on it and went for drive waiting for the engine to cut out on me. After 1-2 hours of driving, da car finally died and we checked da fuel pump pressure. But it was fine, meaning that the fuel pump is good.

Changed da ignition module after that but after a few drives, the engine still cut out, so ive ruled out both fuel pump and ignition module. I just went and changed the AFM....so far no probz, hopefully da problem has now been solved.

If it farks up in da next couple of days, then i will be stressed......its been a headache havin no car to drive to work.....i hate it wen my car is not 100%!!

btw, Thanks everyone for ur help :laugh:

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By Wazmond · Posted

      Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads

      RB25DET Engine Oil Dipstick Length

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything

      3 or 4 8-balls in the sump?

      Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues
