TaMzKa Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 hey guys not sure if this is the right place to post this but i have recently picked up my R34 GTT with very minor modifications to the engine and for some reason for the past 3 days in a row as i am driving or stopped at traffic lights it has seems to stall... at first i thought typical RB (random bullshit) but now im not sure. i know the batt is on its way out but i didnt think that could make it do this?? it on has a KN air filter on it and thats about it... any help or ideas or if this has happen to anyone else please let me know. thanks heaps in advance for any advice Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/314481-help-with-r34/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKYRYAN Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 (edited) Do you have an aftermarket atmospheric blow off valve? Put the stock one back on and your problem is fixed. Or try cleaning the AAC(Auxiliary Air Control) valve... it bypasses some air through when your foot is off the throttle. And maybe clean your air flow meter with some electrical contact cleaner. There is a tutorial on how to clean the AAC valve in the DIY section of the forum, just search.

SKYRYAN Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Oh and check over all the little black hoses as well and make sure they are all connected properly. Could be a vacuum leak or something.

DRFT31 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Hey Champ, Check if any small black hoses have popped off. Also check your intercooler piping, make sure theres no air leakage. Cheers.

bubba Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 (edited) How do you know the battery is on it's way out? Could be the alternator... Could also be a bad earth.. My stag was having trouble starting in the mornings and would randomly cut out or stall at lights, thought the alternator was dying.. turned out it was one of the earth leads back to the battery, the wingnut that was holding it onto the clamp was loose Edited April 1, 2010 by bubba Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/314481-help-with-r34/#findComment-5160944 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the battery is dying that could well be a symptom. Check the battery and alternator with a multimeter, make sure you aren't missing any volts between the alternator and the battery. If there are more volts at the alternator then there are at the battery, check your earth and positive wiring, could be a bad connection or corrosion. Alternator should be producing 14.2v while charging Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/314481-help-with-r34/#findComment-5160976 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaMzKa Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 ^^^ thanks for your thoughts, my fiance got home last night and the batt terminal for the power was corroded, so he cleaned it up and it found to be loose so that would explain things. it hasnt missed a beat today which is great as for the wheels they came with the car, dont worry in the future there will be some jap rims on there Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/314481-help-with-r34/#findComment-5161274 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaMzKa Posted April 3, 2010 Author Share Posted April 3, 2010 well here is an update. it was fine for nearly 2 days because he cleaned the terminals and tightly sercured the terminal as it was a little loose after getting rid of the corrosion and then last night as we were going for a drive it happened AGAIN we were travelling at 60 in 5th in a residential area and then all of a sudden the car lost a little bit of power and the slip light came on.... but it was only that light!! it was weird cause we have already been driving for at least 1 or 2 hours... any light in this would be great, now i know the batt is still not the best but thats getting replaced next week. thanks guys Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/314481-help-with-r34/#findComment-5163318 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris34 Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Take it to a specialist garage. If the slip light is coming on but you aren't breaking any traction then you could have error codes. They can run a scan for you and find out. Oh and at least put stock GT-T wheels on instead of those massive heavy abortion bling things hanging off your nice car.

Who cares If someone built my car it's a cefiro good luck findin a stock one and I'd hardly call it built when it's got a 250 horse sr20 coilovers and a bodykit that just manages to chirp 3rd. Ha yep that's it I just spend hours cruising from lights to lights hoping to race standard skylines I was honestly to busy perving on ur ex missus. But seriously who cares if she has chrome wheels. Ur the only person who can relate a stall problem to rims so maybe in reality your the muppet Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/314481-help-with-r34/#findComment-5164852 Share on other sites More sharing options...
