hey guys when the battery light comes on while the car is running, it has nothin to do with the battery, it means there is a problem with the charing system, usually the alternator or wiring to alternator, i see alot of people do this mistake, just let us know how u go dude.

  • 2 weeks later...

Mine was being a bit difficult a while ago and cutting out etc. Was really frustrating, turned out to be a dodgy AFM and crank angle sensor, try swap them out with a mates if u can and go for a decent drive and see if that rectifies it. Goodluck buddy

Hi

I am having the exact same problem too...I drive a 94 GTS-T. It will drive fine but all of a sudden whenever i press break the engine will just stop. It ususally happens when it's really hot, like when i drive in the evening it will run fine but in the afternoon it will stop more often.

Is it an instant stop? Or does it go down to idle then stall?

id say def not the coil packs mate..does the car start again straight after it stalls or do you have to leave it for a while..?..sounds like either the crank angle sensor or the ignition module.!

Mien does this when pulling up to a roundabout/lights corner and i am breaking/shifting down. Sometimes the revs will just drop lower than it should and it will die on me. When this starts to happen (usually after the car warms up it'll happen every now and then) the idle will become a little rougher

...aac valve sound like the problem? ill be taking it to a proper workshop soon i think, the last dickhead to touch my car charged me an arm and a leg for a major service and this problem still occurs :ermm:

Check over your intercooler piping before bringing it to any shop. It could be leaking and causing the stalling.

any advice to do this properly? I guess i have to take the front bar off and get right down there but how do i check for leaks accurately?

Just check over your piping clamps. See if they're all tight.

Hi Thanks for your response, sorry I was away so couldn't reply earlier. As soon as i press break it stalls...the engine stops.

I can start the car immedietely using the key or just using the 2nd gear.

common cause of stalling is an intake leak like an aftermarket blow-off valve or a loost intercooler clamp

common cause of cutting out when the engine is warm in the AFM

find out whether your car stalls or cuts out. if it cuts out, swap the AFM i guarantee you its the problem

all the cooler piping in the engine bay was fine, i couldnt get the plugs off the grille to get the front bar off to get right in there and underneath to check those clamps tho lol

i have no friends with skylines to test afm, think im just gonna have to bite the bullet and see a quality garage its breaking my heart

If you have working eyes and hands and can read english, you can fix the AFM issue for yourself.

It'll cost you time and a about $30 for soldering iron and solder and sealant (if you don't already have any of those.)

there are pics and stright forward instrucitons of what to do.

anyone who buys a skyline should do a handful of things as part of the first service I think.

1.) new copper spark plugs gapged at 0.8mm

2.) tape up coil packs with good electrical tape (or buy that silicon shit for a bit more money)

3.) Clean AAC valve.

4.) Clean AFM

5.) Re-solder AFM internal points

6.) new nissan paper ai filter element for stock air box

these along with new oil and oil filter, new fuel filter, will see a brand new car in most instances... especially if you've just bought a stock or near stock skyline which is 10-19 years old.

it will cost you bugger all in the grand scheme of things and will probably solve many little bullshit issues these cars have.

MAte,

When it stalls, I can restart the car and it drives fine again...

UPDATE: after swapping the battery; I thought this fixed the problem but no good... although it happens a tad less, still occurs... I'll drive nicely and then a couple of hours later, it would stall... then I restart and it would work fine again....

I think it's the cranke senor and the ignition modulle or the AFM - I will bring this to either Chasers or Nismo Motors in a couple of weeks.... do you guys think this will be costly to fix AND would the mechanic know how to fix this?

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
