When driving the R33 gts-t for 20min the engine cut out. Then may happen twice in 10 minutes space..

It boosts and accelerates fine normally, but once it cuts out, it may

take 5 or six cranks before it hold idle again.

The safc and electronic boost controller has just been refitted after compliance.

It will now not be tuned till i drive it back to Adelaide.

Should it be fine? What could the problem be?

CAS, igniter or dodgy wiring on safc(ebc unlikely but possible)

its not fuel pump. we are checking and cleaning air flow meter tomoro. It does it after a long drive then i'll start restart and it will happen. Could it be the plug that goes into the ignition on the back of the motor getting hot on the rocker cover?

I'm putting on another afm friday to see if that fixes the problem. safc was removed but still has same problem.

Does anyone think it could be anything else?

Could it be this plug that runs over the rocker cover getting too hot?

bruz- i HAVE the same problem at the moment.

im pretty damn sure its the air flow meter.

ive had it checked over by a few mechanics and they cant find

the problem becasue it has to laps while thier tools are hooked up to it.

ive had numerous bits and pieces changed and im all most certain its the AFM.

it just cuts out intermitently. and some times only revs to 2.5 and pops.

this prob has cost me around $600 fkn around with it.

Hi there, i had a similar prob with my 33. it cost me a heap to send it to the auto elec and he didnt fix it. just cleaning the afm will not fix it. you need to remove the cover off the top and resolder the 4/5 joints in there. just resolder, then make sure you resilicone the top on well to prevent water getting in. you never know, it could fix it for you. apparently this is a common prob on cars with pods, such as yours.

      I did not go to GTR Festival. It's quite a long drive and the car wasn't dialed in yet. I also wanted to see how the racing portion went before going. From what I can tell the classes were not heads up, index, or bracket - just whoever has the quickest ET wins. Never heard of that sort of thing before and maybe some people like it but it's not my cup of tea. I don't suspect I'll go if that is how the racing is done. I did get the car out three times and had issues each time. Some were my error - haven't raced the car in over two years - and others were parts. Had trouble getting the clutch to slip correctly and remembering how it was set up in the Haltech. Broke some drivetrain parts as well that couldn't be fixed in a couple days to get back out. Season definitely didn't end the way I wanted but at least the bearings are still fine! Not a fleck of material in the filter. Really hoping next year is the year I can actually test this car properly.

      find it funny everyone claims different fuel chains, do different things with their fuel blah blah blah. We don't have that many fuel terminals in Australia. The fuel tanker trucks drive into the terminal, fill up, and drive directly to the service station and dump out. The majority of fuel you get, is coming out of the same terminals. The variation is actually at the individual service stations and how good their tanks are, as well as how much turn over they actually have. Older fuel stations, that haven't had their tanks replaced are going to end up with the worst fuel. Also a lot of older stations have shit design, and shit maintenance, and end up with more water absorption into the tank. This is when you then get a bad batch of fuel. Other shit things happen, like tanker drivers have a f**k up, and starting to unload the wrong compartment on their truck into the wrong tank.
