My car is in serious trouble at the moment. Seems to have more bad days then good. I had just spent a whole day at the mechanics helping them to solve the problem of my car. Almost everything was ruled out today. Basically when you start the car its fine, but when you put it into drive (its an auto) it splutters and then stalls.

What is happening is that as soon as drive is selected, 3 cylinders drop and then the tcs butterfly closes. The TCS module was suspected but tested it with another unit and it was still the same. The regular checks of coil packs, injectors, fuel pump, fuel flow, plugs, injectors etc was all checked and are all fine. Diagnostic comp was connected and nothing comes up.

My car has been missing in action for about 1 month now and would like to have it back by christmas.

PLEASE HELP ME!!

advise and opinions are all appreciated

You know what buddy, I drive the same car as you and I'm also a proud Auto owner too... guess what, the issue may be issue then you think...

if you're running an atmospheric BOV - which means it vents 100% into the atmospher without plumbing back then your car will stall. R33's and most other nissans have airflow metres that directly works with the engine ECU... if the ECU detects a change in airflow it will also affect the mixtures of fuel, air, volts etc and hence will cause your car to stall as a precaution mechanism.

Just get a stock blow off valve put back on - plumb it all back.... reset the ECU (easiest why is by unplugging the battery for 2 minutes then replug) and then turn the car on, let it idle for 10 minutes... then drive off and it should be fixed... simple, I know... I was shitting myself too... but this is the quickest fix.

Good luck - if it's not this and your mechanic's given up - then Bob's your uncle.

atmospheric bov is the most common cause... but judging by all the things you have checked, i'm guessing your smart enough to know about this. double check all your vac lines. Also im not sure but could the auto trans computer have anything to do with this? hope you solve the issue before christmas mate...

thanks for the input everyone. but the bov was already considered and its not that. really weird....

but i think i have singled out the problem but just waiting for mechanics confirmation. i think i had also found the weird error codes which i have posted in a previous topic.

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
