R33 Turning Off

[Al]

Which mechanics/electricians have you taken it to?

I have been taking my car to EAS Performance in Airport West for the past 3 years and have found him to be very compatent with imports. He has vast experience in both mechanical and electrical, so may have a better chance to sort out your problem. Contact me by PM if you are interested.

Your discription is WAY too vague so b4 posting shit like this;

.....considering this is a Skyline website and ppl CLAIM to know wat they are talking about!!

i suggest you give a full discription of your car specs and mods. Also when seeking help it is not a good idea to be a smart ar5e!

Could be a dry/dodgy solder joint in the ECU, my sister's old Bluebird had this problem, Nissan took ages to diagnose the fault (as it was intermittant like yours), in the end they gave the ECU to someone who tidied up the joints, problem solved.

Different behaviour in different temperatures is indicative of ECU problems, as components expand and contract slightly the problem will show itself.

As per everyones elses comments check for wiring shorts, especially if you've had any electrical gear installed recently (alarm, stereo etc). Your comment about the fact that electrics stay on may or may not rule out a short - if the short is brief the ECU may reset without you noticing the effect of the short on anything else.

Best plan of attack if you suspect an ECU fault it to go to an auto sparky who has experience with Skylines and who hopefully has a spare ECU. Swap yours out and see if the problem goes away.

Hi Guys,

Just wondering if anyone else has heard of or had the problem where your car shuts itself off during driving?

Its does it in warmer weather or after giving it a thrashing?

Any help would be good because no Auto Electricians or Mechanics have any idea.

Cheers.

Its your O2 sensor up in the engine bay man..... either the wiring or the sensor it self. I had the same drama for months on end.... and i read on this site that a good substitute can be from a ford EF-EL (much cheaper) check this; http://www.meggala.com/partcss.htm Don't visit the forums much so if you need me to put you on to the boys that fixed my car then email; [email protected]

Mine was doing exactly the same. Mine is a stock GTS-t. Seemed to do it more in the hot weather. Pain in the arse hey? Annoyed the heck out of me. I took me about 3 months of troubleshooting to narrow it down to the AFM. I pulled it apart myself, not as scary as everyone was saying, and found that the solder was dodgy, so resoldered it and never ever had a problem since that day 2 years ago(knock on wood). I'm not very mech techincal, but don't mind getting my hands dirty, so if i can do it so can you. Happy to help you if you PM me.
