Hey all, my R33 GTST switches off while driving- say when i am approaching a red light- when i go from 5th gear to neutral- the car just switches off. the rev meter quickly goes down under 1000 and engine stops, this doesn't happen when i don't go neutral- but still this should not happen, right?

also when changing gears upshift- if i am show in changing gears the engine will stop, say changing from 3rd to 4th- the moment i am on neutral, the rev meter quickly goes down, and if i don't change the gear before it goes under 1000rpm, the engine will go off...

it's scary when it happens in corners, coz the brakes harden and steering locks..

Any HELP will be appreciated.

air leak on intake/intercoolers.

i had that on mine. if i changed gears slow or rev'd up high then let my clutch in it would ust go down past 1000 then turn off.

actually did it to me on the highway last night changing 4th to 5th... bit scary ay

I'll second the aac valve.

Mine's been doing exactly what you've described.. my mechanic said mine's stuck and I need a new one so I'm trying to find a second hand one at the moment without any luck. Might call nissan in the morning and see...

Its also a very common issue when having installed an atmospheric blow off valve when using a standard computer. :banana:

Actually this makes sense as since igot the Vi-pec installed mne hasnt gone it... actually i tihkn i might have dont it once... but thats it in over 2 months

well ur mech doesnt know what hes talking bout.. its behind the plenum on an rb25.... its got 2 electrical plugs and a screw on the back that controls the idle. turn the screw clockwise to get more rpm on idle and anit clock wise to get less. try taking it apart and checking the spring inside as they break very easily. also try cleaning ur throtal body.. ps this will be ur roblem if the car will idle when its cold..... the aac valve works only when its warm.. when its cold the auto enrichment kicks in... good luck... u got email.. ill email.. u some pics

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
