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 :)

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
