Ok so ive got a problem with my r33 gtst. While driving along the motor will randomly cut out. It feels like the petrol is getting cut off because if I roll for a couple of seconds with the clutch out it restarts. So I changed the fuel pump (bastard job) for a high flow one and put a new fuel filter in. Still doing the same thing. Any other suggestions?

Does it only do it when the car is a a certain temp? for example...

My old 94 Bluebird would consistently do this on the same 500m stretch on the way to work every morning. Turned out to be the CAS.

At first it only cut out above 3000rmp when coming on boost, checked all the vacuum lines etc, but then it started doing it under boost. Now it will do it under boost and it started cutting out afer a few minutes just sitting idling. Thats what made me think fuel.

Looks like I might have found the problem. While trying to jump start the car it threw a big spark across the fuel rail from the back of the injectors. Now I just have to isolate it.

Well that didn't work. :-( grrrrr. isolated the arcing and fixed the wiring there but the car is still cutting out after 2-3 minutes at idle. Can't even drive it to the mechanics to let them have a look at it. Running out of ideas. Is there anywhere else that could be blocking the line or something electrical that could be doing this? After cutting out I can't restart the motor straight away. It just keeps cranking over. But if I leave it for a couple of minutes it will re start.

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
