Hey,

Seem to have a problem with my car and it liking to stall, heres a bit of info on it might make it easier to diagnose..

It will stall at 100km+, Also stalls going around roundabouts slowly and studders also just cruising streets :P .

Now the car has been tuned(stock ecu remaped) by DrDrift(175rwkw) and has had a new Bosch fuel pump put in also an rb25 afm(both installed at the time of Tune by DrDrift)

Problems have occured after getting the ecu remaped, which has really annoyed me as i want from a Super-Reliable car i took to the snow with to now a car that barely drives :cheers:

Got told that it could be the pod-filter leaning back and kinking the intake-pipe so i created a brace to hold it up.. Still no go(actually stalled more often trust my luck)

Eager to actually be able to DRIVE(slide too :) ) getting on my nerves that its in and out of workshops..

given the fact that it went into a workshop ifne, i would say the problems are most likely

- air leak somewhere

- dirty or faulty AFM

if i were you i would do the following

- check that the AFM is plugged in properly

- take off the pod and spray some contact cleaner / brake cleaner into the AFM to give it a clean

- check all hoses near that area and tighten them all up (including bov return hose)

if you still have a problem than maybe get a spray bottle and put heaps of dishwashing liquid in it with some water and spray it on the hoses and look for bubbles (sign of an air leak)

if that's still no go, then think of things that may have just gone wrong as a coincidence

- fuel filter dirty / blocked?

- AAC valve needs a clean?

best of luck,

Warren

If the problems only started after the ECU was re-mapped, then put the original chip back, and see if it still has problems. If you don't then have problems, then Dr Drift owes you a proper tune.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
