Hey people,

Have myself a large problem, well large for me :D

When the car starts it will run for about 5 seconds then stall, if you increase the revs and hold at a certain level the car will still stall!!!

has new spark plugs, and starts fine!

bear in mind that the car has not been started in 3 months was wondering a few things, would this be caused by:

A) removing the stock solinoid eg unplugging it from ecu

B) fuel filter drying up and not allowing fuel through

C) dirty airflow meter - how do it clean?

D) suggestions please

thanks fellas, dying to drive her again :D

sounds like its something that directly affects the way air/fuel is measured.

so i'd say maybe a leaking inatake hose that is causing a loss of air, or a dirty AFM (do a search for how to clean), or an afm that's unplugged or something?

does it blow a puff of black smoke when u start it?

If the car has an Alarm system that runs with its own Battery and has the power to cut of Fuel then u need to buy a brand new car battery then connect it to a charger and charge it for about an hour to give power to the alarm battery...

This is a common problem with Those kind of alarms....

Otherwise you could have a mechanical problem of some sort..Get it checked out

yeah, just got a new car battery as well!!!

i know what your saying though, but it wouldn't start at all would it?

this thing runs for a couple of seconds then drops off, and only if left for a while!!!

it's at a mechanics now, hope fully to pick it up today!!!

had a mad run of bad luck!!

had a bloody window fall out on the way to the mechanic's today, bloody sikaflex must have gone off and not actually dried!!!

so thats an extra $300 to get this replaced then get it tinted again!!! AAARRRGGGGGGHHHH.......

well maybe something will go right for me :)

maybe

WazR32GTSt

Yeah thats much better, whats even better i have the car back now, running like an animal!!

it's amazing how much faster they get when you dont drive them for a long time :D

anyway turned out to be slight corrosion on the points of the ecu, and fuel pump relays!! had these cleaned up and it started, running rough though!! cleaned the AFM, then had issues with the calibration of the idle controller (no changes prior to incident) and it idles sweet now, although the revs dont drop after being in neutral for a couple of seconds like it used to!!

But hey, im still and extremely happy man, just gotta take some photos and post up the new paint job, now that it's all back together.

thanks for the responses people!!

    • 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!
