Do you have any form of aftermarket CDI? eg HKS Twin power?

If it is indeed your alternator then it's not a massive job, though i've never had one fail personally its bound to go through enough wear and tear to eventually give up.

yeh but wouldnt that like turn the car off... make me loose lighting and make my headunit play up aswell??

or is there like a seperate part which runs to the ecu..

most of the times the battery light will come on, on the dash, or it will have a loud wurr to it... and the charge rate will drop to battery voltate eg. 12.6 or 12.8. if diodes are gone charge rate my be normal but untill you put lights ect on, will drop down to 13v or something... never realy seen one have any problems with supplying spark, cuz if it gets spark ecu is doing its job... how well known is your mechanic? as might be time to change... never seen an alternator do anything like what your sayen on any car.. weather it be ford, holden, nissan, subaru, mazada, ect..

i had the same symptom you have when i had my air flow meter disconnected, only as i had to get home, only with the airflow meter hooked up, it cut out and ran like shit.... my problem was that my engine was farked after it was majorly overheated but ran fine 70% of the time rb25det s2 though? dunno what yours is havent read your updates

hes just a normal mechanic down the road from me. not a specialist in imports or anything. I dont think its the alternator... i really dont, but he has one of those Snap-on error detector thingos, and its readying a problem with the signals to the ecu or sumshit... so im not to sure wats going on, if this doesnt solve it ill take it to marty when hes off holidays. Probably a good thing i changed the cam angle sensor anyway, its was sooooo f**ked haha both bearings where ceased and the disk and sensor where both f**ked.

i kno its so fkd. I havnt tried the ecu thing yet, would one from a rb25de neo be the same, i got a mate with a 34... or one from a rb20de?

are they all simular?

update: he said it is the alternator playing up... now i dont see how this would be the case, he recons it isnt giving enough to the computer or ecu, and that isnt able to support the igniter pack and all that... wtf?

i was checking ur gtr out today daz :rolleyes: cus my cars at yates automotive across the road there.

yeah, well im sure the ecu's are model specific, so i would try find somebody with an n/a RB25de r33/r32 (depends on what model your motor is) and try there ecu if u want to try that. but yeah unless you have diagnostic equipment to plug in, your just going to be guessing if its something more serious then all of the things i have described.

yeh the mechanic is using a snapon computer thing. If he cant fix it with this alternator thing he recons it is, im ganna go thru the elemination process on the smaller things, like loom, afm, so on as you said daz but then if im still lost ... ill take it to a specialist in this area.

i just spoke to my old boy then he went and saw my car today when i was at work.

the mechanic said when he disconnected the alternator... the missfire wasnt present... car went well, when he hooked it up there was a miss.. he said the alternator is working but having peaks of power. and the ecu is like wtf? and losses it for abit, that when the problem comes ... but stil im not convinced.

Also the miss gets smaller and smaller the warmer the car gets.. he redlined it today after it had been running for awhile, and there was a very minor misfire at like 6500.... when its cost it can rev over 1500-2000 without jerking around.

WTF i just wont this shit to fk off haha

ok legend... sorry i didn't know it was a spelling test/English lesson, next time ill be prepared for hilarious sarcasm.

Like 90% of the comments i see from you are all pathetic sarcastic calls mate. legend..

Can you pm me your mobile number please?

I'm Trying to work out which turbo set up I want and I'm looking at a 3582r in .63 housing

Just wanted to talk to you as I believe you have the same set up??? And see what your thoughts on it were. :blush:

WooHoo!!!!! I got my full open bike licence today!!!! I have been out riding for about 3 hours on my cbr600 and my ass is killing me hahaha. Awesome though.

If anyone is keen for a run up the hills or something let me know!

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
