Can anyone recomend a good auto electrician? Im havig probs with the new car and it's really starting to bug me! Yesterday and today I was driving the car around for about five minutes and then suddenly the car would sort of jerk a bit, and then I would loose all rev power and the car would just sit on 1,000 revs and I could'nt moove the car, the needle would just hover between 1&2 revs. It would turn itself off, and then once I restarted it, it would drive fine. The problem happened again today. It feels like a fuel problem or a boost prob, any ideas?

Was the engine washed before it was sold to you? You could reset the comp. If its a fuel prob when you first start the car does it prime itself (buzz sound from the boot last for about 5-6 seconds). Is the battery ok?

Did the car get driven frequently before it was sold to you?

Sorry for the q's just trying to help a fellow GTR man

cheers

I dont think the engine baywas washed befoe I picked it up, as the car is like new. It drove fine on the way back to Canberra, the problem started 2 days after I got it.

Im not sure if it would be a battery problem, as the car starts fine and when driving just chockes and dies all of a sudden, usually when on boost. I wouldn't mind meeting up somewhere if you would like to have a look mat the car. It would be good to meet another GTR man.

Cheers

check you're intercooler hosses/clamps as if it's loose excess air gets in causing the air flow meters to enrich the fuel way too much. i'm hoping that's not the prob because if it is you'll need to replace the cat and the spark plugs.

that's my two cents, nice ride though.

then again if in doubt give jake at jakes performance a yell on 62554545 in mitchell (next door to pulfords) he'll sort out da prob.

good luck

    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
