Hi All,

Recently bought a Stagea Series 1 RS4 Auto from Japan.

The car is driving fine for a while and recently it starts showing some problem.

Hope any member can direct me to the right direction to fix it.

I had never abuse the car, mostly driving under the legal speed and very gentle on accelaration.

However, recently found out the 4WD lights come up and the engine is cutting off the power. (Only half a sec)

All the rest of the stero, headlights work fine, but just when you accelarate to 2500rpm and it will suddenly drop to 1000rpm than kick back to 2500 rpm.

It will happen for a while but after i restart the car, the 4WD light is off and drives fine.

Did anyone have this problem?

I checked all the fluid (including the one in the rear boot.) Everything seems fine and within the safe level.

I am going to do a code check however, due to this incident does not occur all the times. So it is a bit hard to get the right timing and place to do it while the light is on.

I am suspecting it could be the Air Flow Meter wear out, however, would like to see if anyone might have some idea or had this kind of experience before.

Thank you for your time.

SOUNDS similar

..... had a cd stacker installed under front passenger seat, dicks drilled thru the attessa loom and kept shorting out the 4wd circuit, had to replace some wire lines, fuses etc via an auto-electrician (took ages to find the fault)

    • You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time. Even with R33 GTSTs looking at gumtree. You have an auto with a bitsa interior for 35k. Another one needs an engine rebuild and asking 24k. And then you have a stock in better than average condition for 45k. Nobody is ever going to pay these prices.
    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
