ok so yesterday i wanted to test it out as i jst got it.... so i gave it some up this hill.... went good but then i had to slow down to chuck a turn it as i did that my steering locked up and my engine turned off, my accessories interia so on was still on... and now jst getting maccas in the car park cruzing along... and went to turn into the drive threw and cut out again..... any ideas anyone??? plz help!

THNKZ :sick:

ok, a few questions:

1. do u have a blow off valve?

2. did you hit the brakes quite hard before the corner

3. did u put the clutch in?

If the answer to all three is yes, then its ur BOV. THis is normal for untuned cars running after market bov. So no need to worry.

IF u drop the rev to quick it will cut out.

You can either tune the car.. or just dont put the clutch in if ur droppng ur speed quickly or if u do, play with the acclerator to keep it from stalling..

=)

mmm yeh does ey brendan... so bov u recon ey..

yep, its a very common problem. My car does it as well... but ive learnt to expect so it doesnt jump on me and i lose brakes and power steering mid corner!! Which it did when i first test drove the car... I explained the problem to a friend @ xspeed who inspected the car for me and he explained it to me.. But i recently got a SAFC 2 so that will sought that problem out when i get around to installing it.

I kind of have the same problem excet my oil presure meter on the right Drops down really Low then my engine cuts out,Happend during idle once in 2nd up a hill and again in 2nd coming out fo a corner :sick: and theres plenty of oil..

Ive got this to.. ive noticed if i put my foot down before a corner and put on brakes straight after and go in for a turn it will cut out.. so i just make sure i dont do that or if i do i play with the accelerator like someone else noted..

how much it cost ya?

safc 2 cost me 100 bucks. Bought it off a friend

installation: free, do it my self

and tuning? maybe 150 bucks im guessing? Hours worth max on the dyno.

meantime just be aware of it and u will be fine.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
