Ten Four Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 (edited) Hey, just had someone go for a drive in my car. Drove about 10kms without issue then got back and I drove it about 2km and it died at the lights. Started it again and then it just went jerky constantly (like a huuuuuuuuge misfire), died again and left at side of road. After that it wouldnt keep going for about 3mins. Eventually, it started and drove as per normal all the way home. Now it won't start.... Car is located at Wembley and would like this issue fixed asap.

Tony de Wonderful Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Maybe you are better off putting it on a flat bed or towing it down to workshop? Is the starter motor turning over BTW?

Ten Four Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 (edited) Yeah, it starts then dies instantly (was perfect except for this bizaar 5min stint...). It was in Hyperdrive about a week ago and they checked the tune and said it was ok but rich so the leaned it out a bit. They also mentioned a electrical problem as the front right headlight wasnt working and the globes were fine. So at this stage, I've concluded auto sparky.... It'll be going back to Hyperdrive anyway as the hicas lock bar they installed hasnt killed hicas....

ZXY Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 check all the fuses. This includes even the big ones and look for hairline cracks as it might be making connection then dying.

Ten Four Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 As far as I can see, they look fine... It just started perfectly and idled perfectly...... Anyone have preferred auto sparkies?

Ehgriez Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 how can a hicas lock bar not stop hicas? it completely removes the arms that would turn the rear wheels and replaces it with a rod.

heller44 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 . It'll be going back to Hyperdrive anyway as the hicas lock bar they installed hasnt killed hicas.... wait.. what? You mean that the rear wheels still move? Unless it was a tomei lock kit, all the others don't affect the electronics, so if there is a fault in the hicas system, it will still be there with a lock bar. More related to your problem, check your afm connections, had the same symptoms on mine at one point.

Ten Four Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 Yeah, hicas is a weird one..... Its definitely installed and I can definitely still feel it. Going to see what they say anyway. Pretty sure its got RB25 AFMs on it - told me it was something to do with unlimited air flow or something. (Sorry, not keyed in there). Will have a look when I can.

Tony de Wonderful Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Yeah, hicas is a weird one..... Its definitely installed and I can definitely still feel it. Are you sure? Maybe what you thought was the HICAS feeling was just the back end squirming or to do with your LSD (or lack of it)?

Ten Four Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 Don't know how to run car in limp mode. Think one of the 2 AFM's are stuffed so buying a pair atm (or trying to). ^Its possible.

Ten Four Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 Was informed by Andrew at hyperdrive that his car does the same thing.... Goes light during hard cornering for handling purposes (easier to steer or something). Meh, just need to get AFM's sorted now. Come on Dsturbd...

Ten Four Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 Probably. I'm at a loss cause the 33 GTR never did it. Oh well, I don't drive it much anyway, just want to fix afms now.

Flash89 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 have roughly the same probs with my 32 i am just saving some money for z32 afms. im not sure if the car will run in limp mode with the power fc. but with the factory ecu it runs in limp mode when the afm plugs are unplugged. it basically runs a base map. but i dont think the power fc can go on limp mode Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/310948-need-auto-sparky-asap/#findComment-5128273 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Why 2x z32 afm's? are you trying to make 1000hp?? Wouldn't 2x RB20/25 afm's do the job fine? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/310948-need-auto-sparky-asap/#findComment-5128308 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubba Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 1x z32 is good for 500hp.. I wouldn't waste ~$600 on a pair of z32 afm's when a pair of RB20/25 items can be had for a LOT cheaper..
