ok so yesterday i wanted to test it out as i jst got it.... so i gave it some up this hill.... went good but then i had to slow down to chuck a turn it as i did that my steering locked up and my engine turned off, my accessories interia so on was still on... and now jst getting maccas in the car park cruzing along... and went to turn into the drive threw and cut out again..... any ideas anyone??? plz help!

THNKZ :sick:

ok, a few questions:

1. do u have a blow off valve?

2. did you hit the brakes quite hard before the corner

3. did u put the clutch in?

If the answer to all three is yes, then its ur BOV. THis is normal for untuned cars running after market bov. So no need to worry.

IF u drop the rev to quick it will cut out.

You can either tune the car.. or just dont put the clutch in if ur droppng ur speed quickly or if u do, play with the acclerator to keep it from stalling..

=)

mmm yeh does ey brendan... so bov u recon ey..

yep, its a very common problem. My car does it as well... but ive learnt to expect so it doesnt jump on me and i lose brakes and power steering mid corner!! Which it did when i first test drove the car... I explained the problem to a friend @ xspeed who inspected the car for me and he explained it to me.. But i recently got a SAFC 2 so that will sought that problem out when i get around to installing it.

I kind of have the same problem excet my oil presure meter on the right Drops down really Low then my engine cuts out,Happend during idle once in 2nd up a hill and again in 2nd coming out fo a corner :sick: and theres plenty of oil..

Ive got this to.. ive noticed if i put my foot down before a corner and put on brakes straight after and go in for a turn it will cut out.. so i just make sure i dont do that or if i do i play with the accelerator like someone else noted..

how much it cost ya?

safc 2 cost me 100 bucks. Bought it off a friend

installation: free, do it my self

and tuning? maybe 150 bucks im guessing? Hours worth max on the dyno.

meantime just be aware of it and u will be fine.

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
