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..

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!

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
