hey folks, ok basicly my car is stalling while im moving, an it tends to be in 5th gear and when im clutching in, thats when this has happend, luckily ive been driving in a straight line because the steering goes when this happens so ive been lucky so far but i need to get it fixed asap, anyone know why and how to fix this?

note i recently installed a pod and put new oil in the gearbox, theres another thread on here regarding the oil i put in but no one has answered and i realy need this solved, basicly in regards to the oil i put in 3 litres according to the help from autobarn, and that worries me alone.

Anyone know whats going on and how to fix this?

cheers

Ok thats really weird cause my car just started to do that, out of the blue really but has happened only twice will post if anything knew happens otherwise will be following this thread closley

i forgot to mention it sputters while cruising, like vvvvvv.vvvv.vvvvvvvvv.vv every now and then. also, i was testing it a bit and it only stalls when i hold the clutch in to long when changing gears. the revvs just drop like a rock, so i goto keep blipping the velocitator to keep it from stalling, any difference in story?

cheers

Mine is stalling a little often at the moment too... ...but when I go from 1st to Neutral... ...and mostly while turning while doing that... ...eg three point turns...

But it's been a while since I got it serviced (damn cash flow)... ...So I think it will be picked up in my next service...

its the afm 100% you probably havent clamped the pod on properly. Ages ago id taken the lid off my airbox to get that gay woosh sound and for about a day the car would stall like urs too until the computer kind of worked out what the hell was going on and it went away. If the car wasnt doing it prior to the pod being installed then chances are its something to do with that.

good luck!

cheers mate, i think your right, i had a glance last night, and i might have found some spots, i really thought it was the computer cracking the shits, but still hasnt worked out the right amount of fuel/air ratio. awell, will pull apart and start again lol.

oh P.S is there a way to reduce the WHOOSH sound the pod makes? it sounds a bit wankish lol

PEACE

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
