When driving the R33 gts-t for 20min the engine cut out. Then may happen twice in 10 minutes space..

It boosts and accelerates fine normally, but once it cuts out, it may

take 5 or six cranks before it hold idle again.

The safc and electronic boost controller has just been refitted after compliance.

It will now not be tuned till i drive it back to Adelaide.

Should it be fine? What could the problem be?

CAS, igniter or dodgy wiring on safc(ebc unlikely but possible)

its not fuel pump. we are checking and cleaning air flow meter tomoro. It does it after a long drive then i'll start restart and it will happen. Could it be the plug that goes into the ignition on the back of the motor getting hot on the rocker cover?

I'm putting on another afm friday to see if that fixes the problem. safc was removed but still has same problem.

Does anyone think it could be anything else?

Could it be this plug that runs over the rocker cover getting too hot?

bruz- i HAVE the same problem at the moment.

im pretty damn sure its the air flow meter.

ive had it checked over by a few mechanics and they cant find

the problem becasue it has to laps while thier tools are hooked up to it.

ive had numerous bits and pieces changed and im all most certain its the AFM.

it just cuts out intermitently. and some times only revs to 2.5 and pops.

this prob has cost me around $600 fkn around with it.

Hi there, i had a similar prob with my 33. it cost me a heap to send it to the auto elec and he didnt fix it. just cleaning the afm will not fix it. you need to remove the cover off the top and resolder the 4/5 joints in there. just resolder, then make sure you resilicone the top on well to prevent water getting in. you never know, it could fix it for you. apparently this is a common prob on cars with pods, such as yours.

      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.

      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.
