as the tittle says my R33 is stalling at low revs when and after turning corners or coming to a corner.

i have observed that the battery light flashes when it is about to stall but thats about it. i dont think its my battery as its brand new and only the moter cuts out but when i start it again its fine. someone said it could be the alternator and the battery not charging propably, anotehr has told me ity could be the power steering over loading the moter and another said that it was the idle switch. anyone got any otehr ideas? because this is starting to become a pain.

Mate, its been 20 mins! Relax, someone will answer your question. The battery light always comes on when a car is about to stall. It has nothing todo with the battery, its just that the alternator isnt spinning fast enough, cos the revs are too low. Battery is fine, and you say that the car is starting fine, so I'd say the alternator would be fine as well. I dont think it would be the power steering, and possibly the idle switch. My mate had the same problem as this, and turns out the throttle body was open too much, letting in too much air, and stalling the engine. Might pay to have that one checked out. Otherwise try doing a diagnostic. Or convert it to manual :D

I have always been under the impression that if you can stall an auto, you're talented... :blink:

Good luck finding the problem though. Have you had a mechanic look at it?

oh its getting a conversion in the next few months lol,

the mechanic said it could be hundreds of things and that its better waiting till it shows real problems before pulling it apart to check.

Really? Did they even look at it? Sounds a bit dodgy to me! In the mean time, have you tried driving with two feet? That way you can rev the car up more before taking off ect to keep the revs up and prevent it from stalling. Or even shift manually?

My stag will stall occasionally as well. I just removed the factory BOV and put a block off plate in its place which has caused it to happen. Im thinking the ECU needs to be reset to it can learn how to deal with the air flow again but im too lazy to d/c the battery :)

I can tell you that it is your BOV.

How do i know this?? i learnt the lesson myself. you won't have the problem if you put the standard one back on.

It is called reversion.

REVERSION - Reversion occurs when some of the burned exhaust gases are pushed back into the combustion chamber and intake system during valve overlap. This is caused by exhaust manifold pressure exceeding intake pressure or by shock waves in the exhaust ports and manifolds.

      Nah, new members can't post pics until they reach a certain post count. If I get a chance I'll promote you to full member, if @Prank or someone else doesn't get there first.

      Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later

      I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.

      Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
