nah didn fix it.. i already posted that lol! sigh but yeh least shes got new sparkies..

Its a process of elimination then! Knock off the list what it could be, until you find what it is! :banana:

aw that sucks, even though i may be replacing parts, i could be doing somthign wrong.. so i guess ill start fromt he beggining..

afm - checked it out.. i have an aftermarket z32 (which could be causing the problem)

sparkies - i changed over though i didnt use a tensioner bar.

coilpacks - my car is not babying on 2.5k or missfiring so im pretty sure i can rule that out

bov - i changed over to my stock one, but now it plumsback through my pod which could be causing a problem

other possible things people have said is the ecu?

if theres anything ive missed feel free to add.

yeh ive been really busy lately, not to mention i dont wanna drive around just incase i get caught.. but i will eventually get round to it, perhaps on the week end ill see how it goes.

hey i noticed today that when i was ideling and used something electrical my revs dropped a tiny bit.. eg if i used the electric windows or wipers etc

also it does the same thing when i lighty push on to the accelerator, so when i take off at the lights it almost stalls then the revs pick up.. and i sort of nose dive :)

i think this only happens after ive been driving for awhile.. when i first take the car for a drive, shes all good.

maybe im in need of a new battery? or alternator?

the slight dropping of revs with lights etc is normal if it isn't any more than 150rpm. It's just your alternator placing load on the motor...The vct solinoid can create a slight drop in revs when you touch the accelerator but shouldn't ever have an effect on your driving.

No it dosent effect my driving because i have my foot on the accelerator, but at the lights when im leveling first gear, the moment i put pressure on the accelerator the revs drop dramatically and almosts dies so i quickly just give it more gas, YES i can drive manual, say when im in neutral and i just step on the gas ever so lightly the revs will splutter and drop till it dies.. so i have to double tap the accelerator so when the revs drop i can quickly catch it.. sorry for the bad description, iono how to put it anyway else ;)

i have a similar problem with my car, it idles under 1000, and occasionally when im waiting at say, the lights or a roundabout waiting for other cars to go past it stalls even with the clutch right in. it's due for a service and tune anyway, so i'm just booking it in at boostworx

i can come to you and we can swap things on my car and see what the problem is like afm i also have a spare ECU we could try as well

by the way i dont drink lol

OMG KELLIE UR THE BEST!!!

lol sorry everyone kellie has WON the free beer slab :) plus money for the new ECU..

SO far, so good.. ill get back to you asap kellie, probarly next week on the wednesday because its my day off.. IF thats ok with you, if anything just call or text me on the mobile.

Well looks like it was ECU problems, kellie told me that perhaps when they installed my deck unit, they could have short circuted my ecu, so yeh we swapped mine over for her spare R33 series 2 ECU, yeh started and everything, took her for a spin and yeh much better response hasnt died on me yet.. but im abit iffy that the series 2 might not be compatible.. working fine so far & no engine lights on.. im gonna surf the net and see if there are any major differences, but yeh so far shes running like a dream.. just hoping that the problem is fixed now, stress free :nuke:

ONCE AGAIN thanks kellie ur a legend!

ill keep the thread open just incase somthing screws up, but yeh thanks to everyone who contributed whether it was big or small..

SAU ROCKS MY JOCKS!

nada ;)

ARGHH, shes still dieing randomly :P and also now when i drive over a bumpy service shell like shutter, its weird as... i think i need a series 1 ecu.

But yeh im pretty sure its the ecu, because when we put in the series 2 she seemed to be better, and died less times :)

either that or its a different problem..

i came across this post, and yeh seems like theres quite abit of differences between the series 1 and 2 hence the ecu not performing good.

The series 2 has an ignitor built in the ecu, as for the series one has it seperately, so that could explain the weird shake/shutter. ill try source out a working series 1 ecu and see how it goes, when i have some free time.

yea as far as i know the series 1 is like the r32 and changes after

do you mean same as in the car specs or ecu? so if i got hold of a r32 ecu i can just plug and play?

and would it matter if it came off a manual or auto?

i cant seem to find any stock ecu's :/

ill have 1 u can borrow soon mate to test, aslong as your car is manaul

is it still running the same?

or does it run like a dog, i wold be checking either ur sparkplugs, coil packs (cause when u play with them in rbs they f**k up), or go and get a compression test done. hope this helps

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
