Hey fellas

tonite i installed a Cold AIr intake on my R33 GTS (i know its totally unrelated but i mite mention it anyway).

I was driving for 3 minutes when i loose battery power. Get this, im driving along with my aircon on, 1 12" neon, lights, foglights and mp3 player on. I approach a T-intersection and as i push the clutch in and leave it clutched the rpms hit 800-100 then stalls.

Prehaps im using to many accessories for my crappy battery to handle.

but it gets worse.

I went to start it up and my car made this whining sound then the call stalled. So i tried again (this time giving it some gas) as the RPM went up the whining noise got louder. Then i wound up 4000rpm and the noise was gone :S Does anyone know what this whining sound was?

Oh, and on my way home my car stalled again when i had the clutch in. Whats wrong with my car ???

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey,

Could be a few things like an alternator, but also seized air con compressor, rooted bearing on the fan belt driven stuff, - power steering for eg.

Or other stuff.

My aircon seized, and the car would stall when I turned on the A/C.

Sorry, but there could be a few things that it might be. Start narrowing stuff down.

interesting combination of problems.....

with electrical problems like this, check alternator, check body earth, check battery.

dying batteries and poor earths can cause very random problems!

and check everything around the air filter (air-flow meter connection does spring to mind)

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
