hi guys i have recently been having some stalling issues with my r33. it has t4 turbo, 720cc injectors, nitrided crank, and ssq vta bov, and 3inch exhaust, fmic.

after about 20min to 1hr of driving my air fuel guage fails to register, it only blips back to normal once and a while. if i take too long to change gears, or come to a quick stop, the dash lights come on, and the revs drop, almost stalling.

i will get it serviced and tuned in the coming weeks. i am also investing an an apexi safc, hopefully these things will help.

any advice would be helpfull.

have u got a remap? cos stock ecu + 720cc injectors wont work to tell

has it always been stalling? when did the problem start? who did the last tune/remap?

have u tried ecu reset?

yeah, mate, i bought the car with most of the mods done, with a mines ecu chip, or so he said. it has all been running sweet till about 2months ago (had it for 7months). the last tune was 6months ago (edit-previous owner ) at supertune on the gold coast. there appears to be no mechanical issues like corroded pipes and stuff. i am just hoping it needs a re-tune. but i would like to know everyones opinion, maybe someone has had this problem.

Take the bov off and replace it with a stock one, then see if the problem is fixed.

Take the AFR guage out and throw it in the bin. what do you mean it fails to register? no power, no signal?

Likely a dead O2 sensor. borrow one & see what happens. My O2 died recently - Idle hunts up & down all over the place once it's warmed up, and I'm assuming goes into closed-loop mixture control.

+1 for O2 sensor.

my gtr has a problem were both O2 sensors are reading 0.00. Car stalls and runs like crap. think mine has a problem in the wiring harness somewhere as both senors go down at the same time and it comes and goes.

if the o2 sensor is dead then that will cause it not to register on the guage.

thanks for all your replies, this still happens with the stock bov. and by not rregistering on the a'f ratio gauge, once this happens, the gauge doesnt light up any more.

i will borrow a mates o2 sensor and test the theory, thanks for all of your replies.

    • Ah right. Maybe my rb just loves chewing through batteries lol.
    • On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
    • 12.8 for a great condition, fully charged battery. If the battery will only ever properly charge to about 12.2V, the battery is well worn, and will be dead soon. When I say properly charge, I mean disconnect it from the car, charge it to its max, and then put your multimeter on it, and see what it reads about an hour later. Dieing batteries will hold a higher "surface charge", but the minutest load, even from just a multimeter (which in the scheme of things is considered totally irrelevant, especially at this level) will be enough over an hour to make the surface charge disappear.   I spend wayyy too much time analysing battery voltages for customers when they whinge that our equipment (telematics device) is causing their battery to drain all the time. Nearly every case I can call it within about 2 months of when the battery will be completely dead. Our bigger customers don't even debate it with me any more ha ha ha. A battery at 12.4 to 12.6 I'd still be happy enough with. However, there's a lot of things that can cause a parasitic draw in a car, first of which is alarms and immobilisers. To start checking, put your multimeter into amps, (and then connect it properly) and measure your power draw with everything off. Typical car battery is about 40aH. Realistically, you'll get about half this before the car won't start. So a 100mA power drain will see you pretty much near unstartable in 8 days.
    • Car should sit at 12.2 or more, maybe 12.6 or 12.7 when fully charged and happy. If there is a decent enough parasitic load then it will certainly go lower than 12.2 with time. You can't beat physics.
    • Ok guess I can rule out the battery, probably even the starter and alternator (maybe) as well. I'm gonna clean those leads and see what happens if it's still shit I might take it to an auto electrician. Unless the immobiliser is that f**king heavy, but it shouldn't be.  If I start the car every day, starts up perfectly never an issue. Isn't 12v low, shouldn't it be around 12.5v?
