My partner was driving out 32 GTR today when it started spluttering on her she drove a further 10 k's and the car was spluttering on and off, it eventually just cut out completely and would not start.

When I got there the car was kicking over perfectly but not even sounding like it was going to start.

We checked all the fuses, the car has power, powerfc comes on and looks normal, all intercooler hoses are still on.

We went and got some more fuel and put it in the car, the car then started ran for 20 meters sounded a bit strange on idle i slightly reved it the car it splutted and then immediatly dropped the 0rpm and stalled again, i then pushed it off the road again :|

It would not start, we eventually towed it home.

Checked the Fuel pump fuse and all other fuses, taped the fuel filter still no go.

The only strange thing that I seen was the Cat light (i think thats what it is) flicked on and off really fast a few times I have never seen that before.

The car has heaps of fuel (battery is now flat after trying to start it a lot)

Does anyone have any idea's ??

I am checking the fuel pump tommorrow (any ideas on an easy way to do this)

I think its the fuel pump has craped it self as I cant hear it prime when i first turn the key on, thats my guess, but does not explain the cat light coming on, I called gavin wood he suggested stuffed afm or popped intercooler hose. NOT HAPPY JAN

The R34 GTT is looking good :|

Probably afm(s) dying coz it happened to me, same symptoms.

Only difference being i could still start the car every time, it just wouldn't idle for longer then 30sec

Could possibly be fuel pump too like you said, that might be a reason you saw the cat light flashing. Coz the fuel pump was dying making the motor run lean and making the exhaust gasses hotter

Ok so the Cat light is the sensor in the exhaust, i seen it when it was on the hoist a while back, but I have no cat :thumbsup: but yer either of those 2 might be the issue, anyway to diagnose afm ?

I would offer advice, but i see your another one of those people running no cat.

You can do an ecu diagnostic for the afm, but that won't necessarily show that the afm is dead coz it might be intermittently working. Do a search for 'ecu diagnostic'

Stick your head in the boot and get someone to switch the car on reds and see if you can hear the pump buzz. Otherwise take it out and put some power to it and see if it works

This happened to me once before where the cat light would turn on & the car would crank but not start... It was my ecu. I chucked on a spare ecu & the car started up & the cat light disappeared. Do you still have your factory ecu still on you, chuck it back on & start your car. Hope that helps...

I bought the car like this and have not had the $500 to put one in yet (which I am doing), dont be to quick to judge people :cool:

The Car started first go this morning so I am a bit stumped, it did rain very heavily for 3-4 mins while my parter was driving home yesterday, but she said she didnt hit any big puddles and the rain was gone quick, but I am guessing some rain must have gotten in somewhere and shorted the fuel pupm wiring-fues or something, when i turned the car on before starting it this morning I got the priming noise from the pump, and the pump is about 2 years old and is a Nismo Unit. Thanks all for you help, hope it does not reoccure not sure how to get this diagnosed or checked.

The only strange thing that I seen was the Cat light (i think thats what it is) flicked on and off really fast a few times I have never seen that before.

Just for the record. My car did that once when I was at the track (at idle in the pit lane) and tried to stall. The only that I can think of that could have affected it, is topping up the tank with V-power racing after using Mobil / Caltex 98 octane fuel forever. It was strictly a one-off thing in my case and did not do it any other times that day or in the future.

dont even think abuot going backwards into a R34 GTT... only a crazy person would do something so stupid

stick with a the real deal, and forget about the fancy shit heaps. sounds like it might be fuel. get a cat

graph afm voltage on pfc hc

He's on the money,

Look at the voltage signals of the two AFMs, you'll see one is much lower than the other, typical R32gtr problems. R34 or 33 gtr afm go straight in. As a matter of fact i've got a 33gtr afm forsale too, same problem to my old 32, bought a pair and only used one.

fuel pump wiring...probly the grounding wire. you must have bumped it when fiddling in the boot. check to see where the pumps earthed to. Exact same thing happened to me where the pump wasnt priming. went to start next morning after i had grounded the wire properly and it was fine. Definately a pump issue tho. no way it would be pfc or afm's.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
