my r33 does this as well....

could be driving around, and then at a set of lights just *off*, doesnt sputter just turns off as if someone removed the key..

ive had 2 mechanics look at it, both pointed finger at my turbosmart type2 bov that i put on it... saying vacuum leak

so to prove that theory we hooked it up a smoke machine and no leaks were found... plus the problem was there with the standard bov also.

mechanic #1 - electrical problem most likely and need to go to nissan so they can wack there diagnostic computer on it to see where the issue is... (not many mechanics have these since the units cost $80k - hence why nissan service department you must go)

before i tried nissan, went to another mechanic and it had him scratching head also... he increased the idle a bit, that helped a small bit , so now instead of dieing 8/10 times its 5/10 times...

im considering ringing up nissan tomorrow (brisbane) and asking them about it, and also how i can go about fixing my odometer that just stopped :P

bullshit! read, we don't know what we're doing so therefore we'll just tell you some b.s. to get you off our backs. The ECU itself has its own diagnostic mode that they probably don't even know about.

Take it to somewhere that knows skylines, and most likely they'll be able to fix the problem in an hour or so.

hey dstylez: what are you idling at? You can up the idle as a bit of a temporary measure until you can get it properly looked at.

Mario,

If its the same problem mine had, it would cut out at sets of lights, turning into a carpark, or just .. stop when it felt like.

I thought it was after I had just run it hard, but after a few experiments it just did it when it felt like. I also noted that everytime I would go down Marshall Road towards the freeway (the set of lights that actually sits under the freeway) it would cut out.

I took it to my trusty old mechanic [plug] GAVIN WOODS [/plug] and said "Gav.. car broken, fix." He said "Ok"

Ended up being that the throttle body gets clogged.

And what would you know, he fixed it and it doesn't cut out anymore! He was right! As usual :P

Soo this maybe your problem. It may not be. Apparently they are rumoured to have this problem.

Might be an idea to ring Gav and get him to check it out!

***********************************************

Just a question (after reading the rest of the posts) Did you buy your car from Streetmachines per chance :D

Uhm, my odometer stops when it turns over to the next 10,000k's. This is a sign of wear in the odometer gears (usually meaning the car's odo has been wound back quite a bit). Gav fixed mine too. Although, cause its worn, it stops every 10,000k's and clicks over when it feels like it. It eventually moves....

ok theres another thought on the subject, ill keep that one in mind...

im going to do the different wiring setup on the fuel pump that i read in another thread to keep it operating at 100% instead of it dropping down when it hits 500-800rpm and see what result this achieves ... failing that ill tackle the same possible problem as you had ..

thanks for the info..

who is this gavin woods that fixed your odometer ??

i cant find any record of him in white pages at all , so either he's a very private small person or just not added..

id be very interested in having him look at my odometer and getting it working again, if he has done same for you previously..

thanks

My car was stalling too, I have a ATMO Bov. I knew it wasn't just the Bov so I took it too Just Jap in Sydney...They have the computer to plug into the ECU...

The ECU said that the power steering sending wasn't working, replaced and all good.

if the sender is rooted it won't adjust the revs for the steering, thus when you on low revs, like when your turning into a car park...the engine will stall becuase of the load from the power steering...

just something else to check.

Dstylez, I had a similar problem, can you tell me, when it happened were you slowing down, gunning it, or stopped? When it didn't have the problem, and you would come to a stop, would the revs severely dip down and then stabilise? What's your fuel economy like? If you can answer these for me then it might be similar to mine and if I can, i'll let you know what I did to fix mine.

Cheers.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
