Ive had a random cutting out problem with my GTR for about 3 months now after it going in and out of the auto electrician and mechanic, ive had the AFM reconditioned, the CAS and ignition module bench tested (4 hours under a heat gun), the fuel pressure tested and swapped out a mines ECU for a stk ECU. all with about 4 day intervals, towards the end its was cutting out everyday with out fail.

about 3 days after i got the stk ECU in my rear turbo blew so ive just got the car back with some new turbos in there. so havent really had time to see if the stk ECU fixed the problem.

got the car back friday, did about 300kms over the weekend and it was fine until today.... (the weekend was hotter then today, incase you guys think it heat related)

this morning the car lacked power mid range until i got boost, i thought the ol girl was cold? about 10 mins from home my car was rev hunting something fierce when i was stationary. also the exhaust was popping like crazy every time i gave it a bit of gas, now im not sure what causes the popping? missfire? to rich? i dunno...

the symptoms that surfaced today are the same as when its going to cut out.

please help me out here guys i dont know what else to do :P

Ok so get it on a dyno or similar and check what the AFR's are doing if you suspect its running rich.

Sounds like good ole coils or a coil pack loom at the end of the day. You should be able to run 1.0-1.1 on the plug gap with that boost etc

Or could also be the O2's (related to idle 'hunting').

And no, the bearings do not take time to 'free up'. Have you ever seen inside one?

Your getting some grossly poor and incorrect information if thats what you've been told... if thats what you've assumed, then stop assuming and ask people that know because assuming things is bad with performance.

Turbos do not need 'running' in. Simple as that.

ok cheers!

the coil packs are like the only thing that haven't been replaced so far. How would i go about getting another loom? would that be something for the auto elec to do?

1 of the O2 sensors were smashed after the exhaust well snapped off at the shaft and flew down into my cat so it was replaced, shouldve got the other 1 done :)

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
