I just bought a skyline(R33 series II) and am having the following problems. (Lucky its still under warrenty, so I'm taking it back to get it fixed) But just wanted to know if any else has experience this problem.

When I'm going slow at about 20 to 30Km/h and am about to take a corner, i sometimes put it in neutral before i enter the corner then when I exit the corner I put it into gear and drive off.

However, sometimes when i put it into neutral the engine just cuts off and dies.

So now I drive it with the car always in gear. so when i take a corner now, i put it in 2nd or 3rd gear and take the corner. However the same thing is happening and the engine cuts off.

It's not happening all the time. But for the last 2 days of driving, its happened about 5 to 6 times.

The idle is steady. This seems to only happen when i'm going at about slow at about 20km/h.

Any ideas/help would be great.

what kind of bov do you have on your car? if you've got an atmo bov then it would be causing this.

yeah. Its an after market BOV. blitz bov.

but does this mean that the bov is stuffed? or just crap and I should get a better one?

and thanks for the reply.

The venting bov's is a common problem with R33's with their sensitive air flow meters, Because the air isn't being plumbed back and the air flow meter cant sense any air coming back through when changing gears or gearing down it overfuels and stalls. Get the standard one or a plumb back one and make the air go back into the intake pipe or get a safc or another ecu (which is what mighthave been on prior to you buying the car). Go back to standard you cant go wrong if you dont have many mods like bigger turbo.

It could be the BOV but i would also make sure that it isnt a bad connection or dry solder joint with the AFM.

I had a similar problem when i had my GTR and when i changed down gears i had to keep on the revs sothe car wouldnt stall...

Was a problem with my AFM's... Might not be the same for you but dont rule it out.

This is probably a stupid question. But what does AFM stand for?

maybe try tightening the spring on the bov so its harder and doesnt vent on low pressure.

either that or do the afm fix, if it doesnt do anything then grab a stock/plumback bov or get a tune-able ecu/piggyback computer.

Why do you even put in neutral when you enter a coner anyway?

I had a stalling problem when I first got my car, same as yours, it would just die. We traced it back to an air leak that the dealer thought was in the exhaust before the cat. Turns out that the whole manifold on the engine block was not good and leaking. U should get a mechanic to go over your car with a fine tooth comb to make sure that nothing gets missed. It is worth the cost cause if something major is rooted it will cost a lot more than 30 mins of labour or a case of beer to fix :)

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
