Weird Cutting Out Problem

Did a search and didnt really find much(Everyone says thats, so maybe i didnt search hard enough hehe)

I have a 90 model r32 gtr and was driving on the freeway. Cruising at ~100 km/h and was off boost. Then came up to a slight incline in the road so i accelerated a little to keep my speed at around 100 km/h. With the acceleration the boost pressure is now positive but only making 1 or 2 psi as im only slightly pushing the throttle to maintain the speed going up the slight hill. The car then starts 'cutting out' and spluttering and the Cat temp light on the dash lights up. Then i slowed down to about 80 km/h and down geared to 4th and hit the throttle and it boosts smooth and doesn't miss or cut out or splutter. I then go back to cruising at 100 km and come up to another hill so i accelerate abit to maintain speed(cruising at 2 or 3psi) and get up the incline and the same thing happens again. It cuts off and splutters and the Cat temp light comes on and goes off a few seconds after i get off the throttle.

The car drives fine around town and doesn't misfire or cut out while cruising or at WOT.

This has happened to me before on the freeway and i didn't think anything of it (Cat temp light didn't come up that time).

It only seems to happen when I'm at around 100 km/h and really slightly come on boost and try to maintain the low boost(2 or 3 psi) as i cruise.

Its abit hard to explain in words. So if anyone has any ideas or does understand what is happening any help would be appreciated greatly.

I had a turbo back exhaust put on a few months ago and I'm guessing the cat temp sensor was retained in the after market high flow cat because otherwise it wouldn't come on at all if it wasn't connected.

Also Have standard Computer so its not the power fc showing high knock readings.

TIA!

When it was cutting out i gave it more throttle and the boost wouldn't go above 10psi..

      Drivers R32 GTR seat

      By mtopxsecret6 · Posted

      Hi everyone, just looking to see what's available in the GTR seat options, testing the waters on what's available. Wanting a driver's seat to replace my old school OG jap race seat, going to re-register the car so need a factory seat. Prices currently seem to go from $300 to $2k for a driver's seat. What's options are there, that's good condition and actually a realistic price? Located Brisbane. Thanks

      Are these a plug and play setup, and do they need a tune, like a haltech ecu etc? Thanks

      Rob's S Chassis track cars. Now with more s15 and less 180sx

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      Been over 2 months since I have done anything on the S15 and had a day off today so got stuck into mounting the radiator and intercooler. I ended up using factory bottom mounts as bolted in and I did order some gktech top brackets but didn't work with the PWR radiator so made up some with aluminium flat bar. Spent way to long on them but pretty happy how they are. Next job was the intercooler. Used some more aluminium flat bar and did the bottom mounts first. Top was easy as just one long piece and 2 90 degree coming off rad support and welded them on. The bumper support required some notching to let the outlets sit where I want so will add some reinforcement later to strengthen it. I have also bought ecu and waiting for it to arrive. Went with a Link g4x Xtreme but will be adding a ptmotorsport expander to add a few extra inputs over CAN. Went through a few different configurations on pclink to get what I want to allow future expansion for sensors and gearbox upgrades. Ordered gktech rear arms but looking at the hardrace lower control arms to have some extra adjustment too will see how the alignment looks after first setup. Got 2 more weeks of work before shut down and will have almost 4 weeks to work on this so planning on hopefully firing up mid January.   Also bought a 2015 brz with a heap of good gear, did noosa hill climb a month back. Owned it for 3 days changed alignment and sent it. Finished the weekend 2nd in class and only .3 off the 180sx best time last year. MCA Red coilovers, gktech rear lca, bolt on lock kit and tie rods, whiteline toe arms, cusco 1.5way diff and 4.5 ratio, endless brake pads, headers, exhaust, perrin intake and e85 tune. Electronic steering adjustment, nankang crs with koya wheels 17x9 +35. Have bought rear traction arm and relocation kit, extended studs and v3 tie rod kit. Planning on also getting flex tune as lucky to get 300km a tank with e85 and short ratio. Car is a heap of fun to drive and super easy to work on. AC in the line up at Noosa was mint in 35degree weather.
