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.

      Forced Performance Hta Turbos

      Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

      I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha.

      Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
