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!

*cough* brad *cough* :D

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
