What The F*****!

what the hell? power steering is done electronically...

turn your car power on without turning over the eninge and turn the wheel...

other then that, dont speed...

cars like ours fitted with power steering works off a pump. What your thinking of is the steeringlock, and thats just locks the steering wheel when theres no keys in the ignition.

Hasnt anyone driven a car being towed before??? You still have steering, you still have brakes, they just become slightly harder to use. they arent going to magically disappear when the motor shuts down..

If you did a second gear pull at wot to say 6500rpm and put the clutch in and let it return to idle will it stall? If it does the electric idle motor (forgot the actual name of it) might be failing, which is pretty common in nissans, especially sr20's. Its job is to maintain a smooth idle drop so it doesnt fall too fast and stall the motor, if it isnt working properly you'll get a problem simular to what you are describing

hey all

i hope someone ca help me solve this mystery.

the other night i decided to see how my car would go at really high speeds (now im talkin i got up to 170k) the car did well, held it togther nicely, but............i threw it into neutral to put less strain on the engine as i slowed down.........then she stalled. f*** knows why!??

Im thinking maybe it was cause she was at such high rpm????????? please help! this is so weird! cause the the highest i can go is 180 km so i dont understand why!!!!

Same happened to mean going around 160 -70 the rpms just drop to low. You can fix this problem with some ECU tuning if you care that much.

When i was doing 100kmph i put mine in neutral and it stalls. It stalls when i pull up at the lights too. I have standard ecu, top mount turbo with dump pipe and no fuel upgrade as yet. I was told that I need to get a better ecu but then i read somewhere here that if i clean my aac valve that would stop the stalling problem.

why has this thread been bumped up?

[Munkyb0y]

coz DOOF wants to own up to being a DOOFUS. and coz apparently, it seems you're a hoon! not just any hoon, but A Current Affair's favourite type of hoon.

It's true, I just want to be made fun of...

Sticky?

hahahah... dont worry man. once in the early days i asked why ppl run different profile tyres front and rear. no, i really did.

then i realised it's based on percentage of width, yada yada yada.

edit: we should make this the 'admit how dumb you were' thread. but then i think we would already have one of those somewhere lol.
