Hey all, I got my license back yesterday (after about 6 months) in which time both our cars where sitting doing not much, both cars had a flat battery so i got a new one for the 33 and the z is sitting in the garage- anyway. Driving to work this morning the car stalled on braking towards a speedbump. Engaged Brake, Put auto back into Park and started car again, made this nasty grinding sound like when you miss a gear in a manual and the shifter was stuck in Park - booted the brake and the noise stopped and let me go back into gear then take off again.

1. Why is my car stalling on braking? Under 5000km I had the auto flushed at Nissan...

2. Was that horrible noise just the gears not quiet connecting like they should?

sounds like the syncro's didnt lock in properly...might just be a one of, but drive it around do a couple hundred k's in it and if it makes that noise u may need to get it looked at, but as you havent driven it in a few months, im guessing its a one off.

Did you put the car back into park while the car was still moving? if so thats the reason why its a one off well as long as you don't do it again.

Same thing happened to me in my auto 33 3 years ago i was driving along it stalled, so 1st instinct i put it in park to start it again however got that horrible grinding as it was still moving. However it neva stalled on me again.

If it does happen perhaps put it in neutral if its still in motion.

    • Does that price include the rack time to straighten the frame and body and replacement of parts and paint, as well as the noise and emmisions testing  The last engineering certificate I had done, albeit about 15 years ago, was around $1000 for a few inspections and the certificate 
    • 😂 thanks guys. The diagram i had did not have the breather on it at all. Much appreciated.  
    • Geez, engineers fees have definitely gone up. Mine back 2007 cost me all of $300. Mind you, I had to go back to him a few times to get him to write the correct things on the report after he'd inspected it. Things like wrong exhaust size, wrong wheel sizes, etc etc.
    • Can we see a scan of the original quote? The problem with engineers (and by this, I mean, all engineers across all engineering industries) is that there are "engineers" and there are "engineers" (you'll have to imagine the two different vocal emphases on those two versions of the same word. Engineering is a mindset - your farm kid who spent his life rebuilding the tractor will likely make a good engineer. The farm kid who spent his life taking photos of butterflies.. perhaps not. But on top of that mindset, the modern engineer has to learn how to write so that there is absolutely no way of being misunderstood. Proposals/budget estimates/quotations are one place where this is absolutely vital. You have to delineate your scope of supply with extremely hard boundaries, and anywhere where there is any possibility of not being able to have such a hard boundary, you need to write language that will cover you from scope creep, cost overruns, the inevitable interference of the client or their "engineer", etc etc. Now, if your clients are the BHPs and the Rio Tintos of the world, and similar, then you get good at this. If you are an automotive engineer, pitching work to the great unwashed masses, your skills in this area might not be well developed, because you're only dealing with knuckle draggers trying to get a big block legal in a Torana. And when I say "might not"....I'd suggest there's a better than even chance that any such skills might be completely absent. So, we might be able to look at your quote and see what the opportunities are for rebuttal.
