hi guys i have recently been having some stalling issues with my r33. it has t4 turbo, 720cc injectors, nitrided crank, and ssq vta bov, and 3inch exhaust, fmic.

after about 20min to 1hr of driving my air fuel guage fails to register, it only blips back to normal once and a while. if i take too long to change gears, or come to a quick stop, the dash lights come on, and the revs drop, almost stalling.

i will get it serviced and tuned in the coming weeks. i am also investing an an apexi safc, hopefully these things will help.

any advice would be helpfull.

have u got a remap? cos stock ecu + 720cc injectors wont work to tell

has it always been stalling? when did the problem start? who did the last tune/remap?

have u tried ecu reset?

yeah, mate, i bought the car with most of the mods done, with a mines ecu chip, or so he said. it has all been running sweet till about 2months ago (had it for 7months). the last tune was 6months ago (edit-previous owner ) at supertune on the gold coast. there appears to be no mechanical issues like corroded pipes and stuff. i am just hoping it needs a re-tune. but i would like to know everyones opinion, maybe someone has had this problem.

Take the bov off and replace it with a stock one, then see if the problem is fixed.

Take the AFR guage out and throw it in the bin. what do you mean it fails to register? no power, no signal?

Likely a dead O2 sensor. borrow one & see what happens. My O2 died recently - Idle hunts up & down all over the place once it's warmed up, and I'm assuming goes into closed-loop mixture control.

+1 for O2 sensor.

my gtr has a problem were both O2 sensors are reading 0.00. Car stalls and runs like crap. think mine has a problem in the wiring harness somewhere as both senors go down at the same time and it comes and goes.

if the o2 sensor is dead then that will cause it not to register on the guage.

thanks for all your replies, this still happens with the stock bov. and by not rregistering on the a'f ratio gauge, once this happens, the gauge doesnt light up any more.

i will borrow a mates o2 sensor and test the theory, thanks for all of your replies.

    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
