Your car is fu(ked, :P

Besides the blatently obvious of it being a pain in the ass, the fact that ppl look at Skylines and it stalls just about anywhere makes it a bitch to go anywhere without having every1 laugh at ya!!! Fun and games hey??

this problem was happening with my soarer, and I realised that it was my amp power wire had got melted over the back seat, and was shorting out.

I guess try to look at all obvious things - check wiring, batt terminals etc

Yeah had thought of that but when it turns off the electrics stay on so it wouldn't be a short...

Had about 1001 ideas of wat it could be but so far nothing, revs used 2 be unstable 2, changing between 300 - 2100 all the time, so i thought the turning off could have been related but found that the idle problem was just an average attempt to re-connect the RPM wire!!!

Thanks for your suggestion anyway.

Sorry guys - probably 2 vague, but was pretty sceptical from the start...

Alright this is what we're talking about:-

It has turned off while cruising or idiling - these 2 are the most common.

But it also has occasionally turned off on takeoff, or breaking hard!

The only time it NEVER turns off is when i'm really giving it to it.

It also seems to flat spot (if that's what you'd call it) i'll be driving along and it just stops responding for maybe 1 or 2 seconds, no matter how far the accelerator is down it does nothing, then it will kick back and keep going - it almost seems like it is trying to turn off... If it does this a couple of times, all i have to do is put it in Neutral while driving along and the revs drop to 0 and she turns off.

Electrics stay on though so i've ruled out a short, it also starts up straight away 2.

Another thing that it does is if I'm driving on a warmish - hot day, the flat spotting will occur and if i can manage to keep it on, the next time i go to drive it (no matter how long it is after it) it plays up, almost like its got a memory (thats where i was thinking the ECU)

It's very common during the warmer weather, almost unheard of during the colder - and its pretty much got me fu$&@d...

That's about it...

Hope this helps, if u need anymore info let me know...

Thanks all!!

it sounds like something i read on the forum about the fuel pump earth or sumthing shorting out.. finding the earth and reconnect it in a better location.. worth a shot. also check that your spark plugs are screwd in nice and tight.. disconnect and connect your battery after you try it.. hope this helps.

I'm no expert, but have you checked for leaks along the intake system? If unmetered air is getting into the system after the AFM, then that could make it run shit. A celica I owned had a crack in the intake plumbing and the bastard would not idle, almost dying all the time and bunny-hopped on take off.

    • Oh and my rear arms may need some attention too.    
    • Bushings are almost done. Check the date stamp 😂 these are likely the original bushings with 27 years and 243ks on them.     Was too dark to get a pic of the worst one.
    • Porous blocks are a known issue on something like a Porsche M96, it's not really something I've ever heard of on an RB26. It's possible what people thought was a "porous block" was really a cracked block that they just didn't spot the crack on.
    • This is a controversial subject really, the whole power vs fun thing I mean And this is the main reason I got back into a MX5 Of the last few notable daily cars I've owned whilst I have frequented SAU R33 GTS-t: fun, but because I'm a idiot I modified well past a reliable fun car and ended up hating it, although that was my fault because I tried to have a daily cruiser and race car all in one, the family called it the sometimes car, because sometimes it was working, sometimes it was broken, gladly sold it NB MX5: brilliant car, thrashed the Bejebus out of it, but, again, was stupid and deleted the air con, power steering and stripped the interior out, whilst still fun, and reliable, and super cheap on consumables, it was not a fun place to be going on long cruises, I did love it, but basically every family member hated going anywhere in it, sadly sold it 2015 WRX STI: soulless thing that looked like your average Kia sedan and had that horrible boxer engine with glass ringlands, the family did like it though, that thing was one of my stupidest purchases and I still regret it 2017 Toyota 86: 😪 if I didn't crash it, I would probably still have it, it was a fun little thing, even with that horrible boxer engine, the family did like it, the only reason I didn't get another 86, or, BRZ was the boxer engine, I should have learnt after owning the STI, but I'm a idiot VX SS: great cruiser, fits the whole family, and was fast as.....in a straight line, but a big fat thing, so no enjoyment throwing it around corners, the family was unimpressed with the whole boganness of if, but they did admit it was a comfy place to sit on long cruises As for the NC, I feel it is perfect for what I want, or need out of of a car, whether I'm cruising the Hwy, back roads, twisties or peak hour traffic, the Mrs doesn't mind driving it either, or cruising in it as well, although she does bump her head of the roof nearly every time she gets in, which is farking hilarious, and the kids love taking it for a thrash as well So basically, I've had constantly more fun, and way less headache and heartache, both on the track and on the street, in low powered cars,  go figure.....LOL One thing though, the Mrs has stated that the cams have made the exhaust sound much louder, which they have, but it doesn't bother me, in fact, I actually like it, but, to negate any future comments from the Minister for War and Finances I may look at some changes to the rear muffler set-up to drop the volume down a tad to appease her when we are out and about in it
    • You will need to extend the turbo inlet pipe somehow, which could/might be done with silicone/rubber pipe, but might need steelwork, depending on your intake. And you will need to change the pipework on the outlet in teh same way, but this is more likely to need steelwork.
