Hey guys.. Something is fcked with my car.. It was completely perfect till last nite when i booted it to 150km.. Since then whenever i go into neutral the car just shuts off.. The only way i can avoid is when changing gears rev it or change gears really fast and let go without holding the clutch in at all.. coz as soon as i push the clutch in the rev's just go all the way down and the car switches off.. Its pretty dangerous since i happend when i was going 50 down a small hill i usually go in neutral down a hill and then just brake.. but then the car switched off and u know how the steering wheel pretty much locks up when that happens.. So now whenever i stop i have to keep revving so the car doesnt die!

Anyone know wtf happend and what it could be?

Thanks

Feels okay to drive when i normally drive (until i push the clutch in then it all goes to shit)

I gave it a bit after it started not finding idle and it boosted fine and felt fine.. just the idling issue is making the car like shit i think..

reset stock ecu (search to find out how to do it)

if that doesnt clear it go see a mechanic

ensure you are using an atmo bov - check you have the std one setup

Ahhh fixed it.. Reset the ECU didnt do anything.. turns out the cap blew off the BOV thingy when i booted it.. Went down to the mechanics and he just chucked a new rubber on it with a bolt.. Easy 2 min fix for free :bunny:

      That’s a great deal and I would jump on it if you were closer. Melbourne is a bit of a hike for me though unfortunately

      Fake ARP bolts?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      To be honest I'm not sure if there is much to tell without knowing where the bolts where bought from. If it comes from Amazon or similar all bets are off. Can't trust them. And I fear not everybody knows that. Wasn't it @TurboTapin who ended up with the fake fuel lines recently? The submersible ones which very much weren't submersible at all. It kind of applies to everything nowadays. Doesn't matter if it's hardware or electronics. The fancy camera might have internals swapped out for cheap knockoffs. The hard drive will report a certain size but not actually be able to write it all. Shit like that. A bit depressing but the reality is you really have to be weary of where and how you buy stuff

      My guess is, cheap rods, came from a site selling lots of cheap things, and likely a lot of knock off stuff.   I get doing a cheap build, but I don't get doing a huge dollar build, and then skimping on something even like the rods, and likely the bolts to go with it, especially if heaps of stuff had to be fabricated!

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      Today myself and a mate tracked a fuel pump issue down to this amazing piece of workmanship in the fuel cradle loom. Covered by conduit and electrical tape. so now we should be moving onto the first fire once this is corrected. 🤞🤔

      1000% percent the looks just aren't visible, I was shocked when i found out the the only thing holding the OEM diff ( rear side ) is one stud was can easily crack when trying to launch the car or really beating on it, hence why this brace connects to the subframe/control arms and even includes a fancy jackpoint, With the forced induction route, I would have quickly launched the diff out the back of the car without this upgrade. The Z1 and GK tech don't offer the same "cool" look so to speak.
