The other day I was cruising around all of a sudden, my car started to shake while idleing at traffice lights, and as I was taking off had little to no power at all. The orange error light or whatever it is came on, and so I shit myself and proceeded home. I turned my car off and was gonna check it later, so I turned it back on after and it seemed normal again... this has happened 2 or 3 times since, while driving to and from uni... car shakes while idleing and loses power when it comes to taking off...

anyone have any idea what the problem might be?

I had the exact same problem for months. So I came to this forum and asked for advice, I was told it was the coil packs and after I changed them I've never had that problem again.

When the problem occurs, see if you can park somewhere and turn off the car for 10-15seconds. Start it again and it see if it runs properly.

oooww this happends to me in my R33 also... well when i am coming to a stop i will have clutch fully pressed in and whne the revs drop to the idle amount it sometimes drops lwer then comes back up to idle, however occasionly when it drops it goes to low and just stalls so you have to start her up again... it all sounds fine and runs good before and after it just a random thing that happens.... And im yt to figure out why lol

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
