Hey guys,

I have a r33 with the 25det. I have jsut had the cannon cut off and a set of shotgun tips put on. Now I have a problem. It drives fine, idles fine and doesnt backfire or anything weird. When I am driving along or pull up at idle it cuts out. Starts back up and runs fun for X amount of kilometres then happens again.

I have done just under 100km and it has happened 4 times now. I know the exhaust shop had to take out the oxygen sensor to do the exhaust. Could there be a problem with it now after being fiddled with?

I am running a power fc with boost control, front mount, plenum etc.

Any help wpuld be great, Cheers.

The exhaust was welded when it was off the car so It can't be from that. BUT they might have had it on when welding a bracket or two and I'm guessing they wouldnt have bothered to disconnect the battery. And yep, I am certain it started after the exhaust was done.

Still idles fine, no surging or anything like that. It has cutout before on me after coming off load and clutching it, but I am pretty sure that might have something to do with the knock off hks ssqv I am running?

But this is different cut out. It has happened 2 times when I have been cruising along with no gear change and not under hard load. Just cuts dead. And other times I have pulled up, let the car idle and get out to do something and a random amount of time say 30seconds later it cuts out. I forgot to add in my first post I am running a HKS turbo timer. Could something be going wrong with it?

Cheers for the input so far everyone.

Checked the power fc, battery, afm plug and any other connection I could see and everything seems fine. Have to do 400km round trip tomorrow so hopefully it doesn't play up on me.

If it is the AFM that is shagged or the turbo timer would an auto electrician be able to test them to see if they are actually the problem without me having to replace them? The car is also running an alarm system with imobiliser so it could possibly be that aswell?

Well I unhooked the pfc, which was still plugged in fine, blew out any dust and re-checked any connections. Put it all back together and havn't had a problem yet. Did a 400km round trip and it went fine so I'm hoping the problem has been fixed by a unplug and plug haha

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!

      I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...

      Water leaking into the rear trunk

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.

      I hate it, but maybe he could paint it Monster jam style and call it...godzilla?

      Would seem to me to be appropriate to go GTR style bar. There are options with and without N1 vent holes, with the GTR lower lip integral (because FG copy). https://justjap.com/search?q=r32 bumper
