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.

    • Hello! Long time lurker, been using the forums to address concerns and questions from afar for a while but I've struggled to find some answers so I guess its about time I made an account and formally asked some more knowledgeable people, since finding local skyline owners is hard (and shops that are knowledgeable or trustworthy to work on 'rare' cars are non existent out where im at, as skylines are quite uncommon to find in the wild around here). So the main 3 questions I have, 1: Steering rack has blown seals, well.. they kind of hold but they are not sealed properly anymore and as my R33 is my DD, i cant exactly rip the rack out and send it off or attempt to fix myself. As most refurb ones are around $1,100 or more shipped, and I have other things I need to work on around the car, I was seeking clarification on whether an S15 rack will more or less bolt right in, and whether a common mechanic could do any other required work to get it to fit. I ask, as I've found a supplier than can sell a manufactured as oem one for around 400, if not I'll likely order a used one from Jacks JDM, and take a risk on the seals there. The second question i have is that im replacing the front wiper cowl and have planned to buy 4 new clips and a new center clip but wasnt sure if there were any other clips that would also need to get replaced while I was at it. Given im sure any that are there now will simply break when I remove the old cowl... Last thing would be a fairly straight forward question, i think. If I manage (strong if, finding one has proven to be a pain) to find a R33 GTR spoiler/wing will it require much modification to bolt to a S2 R33 GTST? I've read the bolt patterns dont match but otherwise would bolt in, only options I have found with much luck is China stuff on ebay and carbonetics, which has a nice $650 shipping fee... so if anyone has any pointers where a US chap could locate one that would be great Random side question as well, the mirrors as I understand are mirror glass, and as im planning to polish my windows from water spots and surface scratches, i was hopeful cerium oxide would be fine for them too, as my research points to, but clarification is always nice. Any pointers would be appreciated, and while I have scoured the internet for answers if I missed a prior post somewhere that may answer these directly please point me towards it, as i must have simply missed it. I have seen a post here or there that has mentioned it, but I usually get 50-50 answers, or half answers... I dont have a lot of fab experience or mechanic experience, outside of hydraulic and pneumatic stuff I did in the military and with how hard it is to source stuff in the US, id rather not wing it and hemmoraghe money lol. Thanks guys! Sorry for the monumental first post haha
    • Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!
    • Got you mate. Check your email!
    • I see you've never had to push start your own car... You could save some weight right now...
