hey guys when the battery light comes on while the car is running, it has nothin to do with the battery, it means there is a problem with the charing system, usually the alternator or wiring to alternator, i see alot of people do this mistake, just let us know how u go dude.

  • 2 weeks later...

Mine was being a bit difficult a while ago and cutting out etc. Was really frustrating, turned out to be a dodgy AFM and crank angle sensor, try swap them out with a mates if u can and go for a decent drive and see if that rectifies it. Goodluck buddy

Hi

I am having the exact same problem too...I drive a 94 GTS-T. It will drive fine but all of a sudden whenever i press break the engine will just stop. It ususally happens when it's really hot, like when i drive in the evening it will run fine but in the afternoon it will stop more often.

Is it an instant stop? Or does it go down to idle then stall?

id say def not the coil packs mate..does the car start again straight after it stalls or do you have to leave it for a while..?..sounds like either the crank angle sensor or the ignition module.!

Mien does this when pulling up to a roundabout/lights corner and i am breaking/shifting down. Sometimes the revs will just drop lower than it should and it will die on me. When this starts to happen (usually after the car warms up it'll happen every now and then) the idle will become a little rougher

...aac valve sound like the problem? ill be taking it to a proper workshop soon i think, the last dickhead to touch my car charged me an arm and a leg for a major service and this problem still occurs :ermm:

Check over your intercooler piping before bringing it to any shop. It could be leaking and causing the stalling.

any advice to do this properly? I guess i have to take the front bar off and get right down there but how do i check for leaks accurately?

Just check over your piping clamps. See if they're all tight.

Hi Thanks for your response, sorry I was away so couldn't reply earlier. As soon as i press break it stalls...the engine stops.

I can start the car immedietely using the key or just using the 2nd gear.

common cause of stalling is an intake leak like an aftermarket blow-off valve or a loost intercooler clamp

common cause of cutting out when the engine is warm in the AFM

find out whether your car stalls or cuts out. if it cuts out, swap the AFM i guarantee you its the problem

all the cooler piping in the engine bay was fine, i couldnt get the plugs off the grille to get the front bar off to get right in there and underneath to check those clamps tho lol

i have no friends with skylines to test afm, think im just gonna have to bite the bullet and see a quality garage its breaking my heart

If you have working eyes and hands and can read english, you can fix the AFM issue for yourself.

It'll cost you time and a about $30 for soldering iron and solder and sealant (if you don't already have any of those.)

there are pics and stright forward instrucitons of what to do.

anyone who buys a skyline should do a handful of things as part of the first service I think.

1.) new copper spark plugs gapged at 0.8mm

2.) tape up coil packs with good electrical tape (or buy that silicon shit for a bit more money)

3.) Clean AAC valve.

4.) Clean AFM

5.) Re-solder AFM internal points

6.) new nissan paper ai filter element for stock air box

these along with new oil and oil filter, new fuel filter, will see a brand new car in most instances... especially if you've just bought a stock or near stock skyline which is 10-19 years old.

it will cost you bugger all in the grand scheme of things and will probably solve many little bullshit issues these cars have.

MAte,

When it stalls, I can restart the car and it drives fine again...

UPDATE: after swapping the battery; I thought this fixed the problem but no good... although it happens a tad less, still occurs... I'll drive nicely and then a couple of hours later, it would stall... then I restart and it would work fine again....

I think it's the cranke senor and the ignition modulle or the AFM - I will bring this to either Chasers or Nismo Motors in a couple of weeks.... do you guys think this will be costly to fix AND would the mechanic know how to fix this?

    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
    • Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
