This doesn't happen all the time but has happened 6 times in the last 2 months. 3 times in 5min.

But ill just be driving listening to music and the car will just turn off, hold the clutch in and turn her back on she is fine, but i would prefer to stop this b4 i get hurt. Not sure what it has to do with, was thinking maybe immobiliser.

Just wondering if this has happened to other skylines and wat can be done to fix it. My mate says it has happened to him once.

does the car stall after dropping too quickly from high revs??

my r33 s2 1997 used to do this because the aac valve would not pick the revs up quick enuff to stop it from stalling.

if this is the case, try cleaning the aac valve at back of the intake manifold. bronze coloured solenoid.

- ROss.

sounds like thats the problem. or something similar, if it gets driven a little hard or high rev it occasionally dies. It happened on the bridge today, so i don't want to even imagine the worst place it could happen. Do you have a picture, or describe where it is, when it comes to turbo engines i don't really know my way around them.

Problem has come back again after driving it a little hard the car tends to shut itself down while driving, did it at 100km/h friday night.

Got the computer read this morning and there is no recorded problems in the computer...

The controls said it was running lean at idle, then rich when accelerated.

The part under Hicas said there is an abnormal rev (problem 25 on the machine)

Thinking might have something to do with the fuel pump or fuel relay or something. Where about is the pump located and do ppl change these from the standard pump to r34 or something?

When the AAC valve was clean it didn't shut off after that, but im guessing its full of carbon again, so what would be the cause of excess carbon being produced inside the aac valve?

the fuel pump is in the boot of a 33 next to the battery, you gotta take out the back trim in the boot to get to it. most of the time they get changed to bosch/walbro/nismo fuel pumps any one of these.

can the aac valve become full of carbon after about 4 months...would have thought it would take longer than that.

Well i wouldn't have thought so, gonna pull it off later and have a look, if it is then something is creating it quicker than it should.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
