Hey I have an R32 GTS-T Series 2 M Spec and mine cut out while driving sometimes..... when it cut out there was nothing like the engine was dead then it would come back on and be normal like nothing happened turned out to be my car battery it didnt have enough charge in it...It got to the point where the starter motor could start my car but if i put my car stereo on the car would lose power bigtime so guess there wasnt enough power to run the fuel pump properly...I never boosted it when it was doing this as detonation was around the corner with the pump not working properly. Hope this helps as since getting a new battery its never played up, could be car alarm too. Cheers

Hi, i think i might have the same issue being discussed in this thread. It's started happening in the last few weeks. Only happened on three occasions so far, but yesterday was the worst. From stand still i would drive off slowly, but immediately when i try to rev it a bit, it feels like the engine was cutting in and out, struggling to turn over. I immediately pull over and leave it to idle for a minute, then it was fine to drive off.

I'm bit scared to drive it as i don't want to cause further possible damage.

I have this exact same problem too, Zoe cuts out at about 6500rpm which is really annoying.... and sometimes when i pull up at a set of lights the revs will drop and she'll stall. I always look after the engine and I recently replaced the coils and plugs so i knew it wasn't that, i thought it was the turbo because it's what, 20-something years old now, so i took it to precision turbo and had it rebuilt & high flowed for $1350, ........but still it cut out! epic fail! but it does have alot more power now, i thought i'd have a look on here before i went throwing more money around, so tomorrow i'm gona try this contact cleaner for the AFM and if it doesn't work i'll replace it, thanks for the heads up about it, much appriciated (^_^!)

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
