mickGTR ,i was generalising when i said about the odos .

if u know the car from new all its history then u know how many ks its done but as a rule the imports are turned back take it from me i know they are and u cant check the history cause noone will give u logs . i have an r33 and i got the jap logs cause i bought it from the original owner , he owned it in japan then brought it to aus with the original owners book and logs .

as to u r problem it could be anything but loosing boost shouldn't make it drop to 1000 rpm .

having low compression wouldn't do that either its electrical more than likely .by the way what was u r compression?

it should be 1.18 mpa (165psi ) at 300rpm

I will have to check the com report. I think it's sokmething electrical but it's hard to find because it doesn't do it all the time. Today at the lights I was just idling and then the lights went green i tried to go but the car would not budge! After i turned it on and ofand reved it up a bit it was fine again. Im thinking maybe some sort of fuel prob?

no it doesn't sound like fuel to me if it was fuel u wouldn't be able to go hard like under load at high rpm unles the pump plays up u can check that easy though . when it stalls on u check fuel pressure then before u turn the ignition back on if u have plenty pressure its not the pump.

mickGTR,

I bet its one of the AFM's plug, Same thing happened to my car and it turned out to be a bad connection/wiring on the plug, after I changed the (mine was the top AFM plug) plug and some wiring all was fine. had me baffled too because it wouldn't happen all the time and after stalling and after restarting the engine it would run fine most of the time like nothing happened (this is because cranking the engine would shake the plug enough to get a good connection back)

I found mine by gently wriggling the AFM plugs/wiring and seeing if this affects idle.

I'am only trying to help!

Hi again.

I did what you said and played with the leads/wiring while the car was running, and it seemed to do it all the time. I checked the conections best I could but it seemed o.k. The car is playing up more now since i have played with it, so I guess that's what it is. It was the bottom AFM I surpose I will have to replace it now, or can it be fixed. Any suggestions???

MickGTR,

If the plug and wiring seems to be fine, but the problem must be in that area since playing with the wiring made the problem worse (sorry about that) then it must be the Soldered joints inside the AFM have broken and arn't making full contact. After removing the AFM they can be disassembled and resoldered. The square section on the top of the AFM has a rubber seal around it that is glued in place, you will need to run a short sharp blade around the edge then carefully pry the top off the square section, there isn't anything that you can really damage there with the blade but be carefull when prying the lid that you don't break the plastic that surrounds the lid. Once inside you will see a metal box with a brass/copper lid, this box has four terminals on the plug side that can now be resoldered now that the lid has been removed. Seal the lid with some silicon sealant and refit AFM.

I hope this fixes your problem!

Certain;y is a strange one. I think that u are going to have your work cut out for you on this one. It sounds to me that for some reason the computer is shuting it all down (as when you restart it takes off.

If it was fuel it would die under hard throttle (usually) and for it to come so intermintantly soulds like somthing changes and the computer sensors it. Have youput it on a Dyno to see what air/fuel mix it is running? May be worth a look, at least it will clarify that for you. It does not sound like a simple loose conection as why does it alter when the car is turned off? I doubt the conectipn just fixes itself. I'd say that the comp is backing everything else off.

Mick.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
