hi guys,

just wondering if anyone knows why my auto r33 gts skyline is stalling. This has happened on about 3 occasions now over a period of about 6 months.

Wanna know why this is so as this gets pretty scary sometimes

Once when i was doing about 20 kms rolling and the whole car just shut off and the radio turned off in the car.

Another time the car turned off when i was stationary at traffic lights while i was in drive, the clock in my car was still on but it turned my radio off.When i finally got it going again by putting the car in park and starting it as usual(press imobiliser then turn key) the radio still had all the channels and didnt reset and yet others times it does reset channels.Also the hazard lights still worked on every occasion.This time but when i turned it felt like it was chuggin to get started with the key like it had a flat battery but eventually started up.

Also the alarm goes off byitself sometimes, i slammed the door and it would engage even if it wasnt activated by me and the antenna stayed up on the car. strange

Is this an electrical problem , or could this be caused by maybe the batteries in the alarm remote maybe going dead and they need to be changed and is causing everything to go stupid. cant see why this would shut off the engine though

anyone shed some light on this topic, kinda puzzled

im guessing its a electrical problem maybe something with ur immobilizer or loose connections on your battery, but then i dont see why it would do it once here and there, how often does it do it?

it does it randomly like, this happened 3 times in about 6 months, its not often but i dont know when it could happen next thats the scary part,

I thought it would be loose connections on the battery terminals but they are all fine,

Sounds like an old battery dying... I had this problem with my car, replaced the battery and it was fine.

i thought that aswell , but when the car is running isnt the alternator powering up the battery anyway and if the battery was dieing the car wouldnt start im assuming

i may try that if there are no other options

check your battery connections, battery quality ( dying, low water etc)

otherwise check you tps, crank angle and AFM. check for any loose plugs.

have you done any mods.. pod filter, shortened intake pipe etc ?

check your engine bay fuses too, make sure your alternator plug hasnt fallen off or loose.

3 times over 6 months isnt too bad maybe its outa gas or injectors blocked causing it to conk out.

sounds like a wire or fuse or sensor or battery terminals loose or corroded tho

    • You're 20 years too late mate. Used to be 80% skylines back in team trackday days
    • There's a lot of drug money on that side of Sydney. Just sayin'.
    • At SMSP, I mainly see Hondas, M cars, A90 Supras and of course, plenty of Evos. Have not seen a single R32 ro R34 Skyline on the night sessions that I've been to. That's really saying something.
    • I like mine. Much better than stock. Like i said before the reverse/parking cameras look even worse than normal, still useable. When you buy one make sure it's the latest version. Heaps of cheap ones that run the old hardware and software. Got mine from AliExpress. Mine is quick no lag, boots up 1-2 sec. Menu is fast. Netflix is fine and so is YouTube. Android Auto is random taking 3sec to 15sec. Most of the time it's quick. Very rare it doesn't connect. But that could be a phone thing.   Now I think they use a Pixel 3XL to run this whole thing which i guess is fine, but the problem is that some apps will not work on old hardware like Disney Plus  Maybe Prime Video too 🤔. they will not update. Iv'e tried getting the APK Disney + but i still couldn't get it working. I have a Data sim installed so i have internet all the time. You can't Hotspot off your phone and connect Android Auto at the same time. Not that you need too, if you want you can hotspot off your phone and run any internet map app (google maps) and you can run the Spotify app on it's own (the app runs better than android auto) You can still access the INFINITI intouch system for all the o.g stuff    P.S i got new non Polarization Sunglasses too 😎 
    • I also don't mean to rain on your parade. But with a 5-10k budget for road only? I'd want to check confirmation that everything IS working correctly and I'm with @GTSBoy for a plan of action here. I'd be checking subframes, bushes, exhaust hangers, interior bits and generally QOL things and CONFIRMING they are working right before thinking about motor. You can get 250KW+ on stock RB26 hardware by simply removing the built in restrictors and tuning the stock ECU. If you want purity that's as far to take it, which I would be worried to do and won't think the budget would allow for when earnestly checking for 30+ year old car stuff.
