so I have an R33, non turbo auto, sedan, I've only had it for a few days and today on the way to the rego place and back it cut out randomly three times while I was driving. The first time it cut out while I was turning into the car park, I stopped, turned the key to off and straight away turned it on again and it was fine to park. The second time I was driving at about 80km up a hill, it cut out for a bit, then fired up again, then a couple of seconds later it cut again and I had to pull over. I tried to start it again but it wouldn't fire and idle. I went and tested the battery with my multimeter and it was showing 12.8 volts so as wasn't thinking it was an electrical issue. Hopped back in the car and it started up straight away and I took off until about 500m from house where it cut out a third time, same sequence as the second except the road I was on is fairly flat. Before I tried to start it again but it wouldn't fire... now I'm here hoping someone can give me some suggestions. I am new to R33s and Skylines in general. Any help would be appreciated.

really need some help with this one guys. I've been reading about and scouring the net for solutions but i cant seem to find anything that's fixed it yet. Ive got an autech stagea (260 RS) and whats happening is ill be driving along all good, and sometimes randomly, but usually after ive been coasting in gear for a bit then go to accelerate there will be either no response from the throttle of it will try to rev up and start sputtering like crazy and blowing out black smoke for about 2-3 seconds after which it will come back and run fine for the next few minutes till it happens again for 2- 3 seconds then runs fine straight after. Odd. so far few things I've tried based on what I've found on the forums from similar problems are: new fuel pump, replaced fuel reg, replaced CAS, replaced ignition pack, new splitfire coil packs + changed spark plugs as well as plugging in a consult cable to check for fault codes, there were none I'm really running out of ideas here guys the car other wise runs fine and isn't down on power at all so im really just scratching my head over this one one other thing i should add is today i pulled off the BOV's because i noticed just last week that i was getting a bit of fluttering, if say i put my foot down to full throttle (WOT) then back off to about half throttle it would flutter. (not sure if thats related to the sputtering at all) I pulled them off and set them up for a bench test, and under 20 psi i was getting a lot of leakage out of the recirc outlet on both valves, within about 3 or 4 seconds the pressure in the piping dropped right to zero checked everywhere else and there were no other leaks from anywhere else.... surely that's not right?

Hi guys, Have had this issue with my R34 N/A sedan for a little while now. Probably about 3 months ago, whenever i would flick to high beams, my cd player would turn off and then turn back on. My speedo backlights would also flicker. I had my battery tested (which was the same battery which came with it from Japan), and was told it was not performing well, and purchased another. I believe that my alternator was also tested at this stage, and came up fine. A few weeks later, I had the same issue. So, I popped the bonnet and had a look at the battery terminals, just out of curiosity. The positive terminal appeared very SLIGHTLY loose, so i tightened it, and also cleaned it up a bit. Problems were gone, and no issues for another 2-3 months. Until tonight. Driving home, popped high beams on, and boom, headunit goes off, backlights flicker, and even the A/T light is glowing at me. I was pretty spooked by the A/T light, as I hadnt had this issue before. Anyway, I arrived at my home, and the light was off, and my high beams no longer affected any other components in my car. (I had been driving for 30 minutes - discovering the issue again in the meantime) I have these Ebay LED's in my parkers. And the rest of my headlights are standard Xenons. My headunit was also professionally installed. Can anybody lend any thoughts? Thanks!
