Car Engine Goes Off While Driving- Helppppp

Recommended Posts

Hey all, my R33 GTST switches off while driving- say when i am approaching a red light- when i go from 5th gear to neutral- the car just switches off. the rev meter quickly goes down under 1000 and engine stops, this doesn't happen when i don't go neutral- but still this should not happen, right?

also when changing gears upshift- if i am show in changing gears the engine will stop, say changing from 3rd to 4th- the moment i am on neutral, the rev meter quickly goes down, and if i don't change the gear before it goes under 1000rpm, the engine will go off...

it's scary when it happens in corners, coz the brakes harden and steering locks..

Any HELP will be appreciated.

air leak on intake/intercoolers.

i had that on mine. if i changed gears slow or rev'd up high then let my clutch in it would ust go down past 1000 then turn off.

actually did it to me on the highway last night changing 4th to 5th... bit scary ay

can also be dirty aac valve.. check DIY section on how to clean.. This is a VERY common problem is skyline. but Very easily fixed... my car actually does it occasionally...

I'll second the aac valve.

Mine's been doing exactly what you've described.. my mechanic said mine's stuck and I need a new one so I'm trying to find a second hand one at the moment without any luck. Might call nissan in the morning and see...

Its also a very common issue when having installed an atmospheric blow off valve when using a standard computer. :banana:

Actually this makes sense as since igot the Vi-pec installed mne hasnt gone it... actually i tihkn i might have dont it once... but thats it in over 2 months

yeah, but i have no BOV and i have Apexi Power FC- so why is my car stalling?

i asked my mechanic, but he said i have no AAC valve.. so what else could it be?

well ur mech doesnt know what hes talking bout.. its behind the plenum on an rb25.... its got 2 electrical plugs and a screw on the back that controls the idle. turn the screw clockwise to get more rpm on idle and anit clock wise to get less. try taking it apart and checking the spring inside as they break very easily. also try cleaning ur throtal body.. ps this will be ur roblem if the car will idle when its cold..... the aac valve works only when its warm.. when its cold the auto enrichment kicks in... good luck... u got email.. ill email.. u some pics

    • @Butters I can't tell you why but the bigger HKS step 2 cams improved low and mid end immensely. Turbos started spooling about 1k RPM less than before and the idle/vacuum was rock solid, it was an absolute thrill to drive, 3rd gear pulls hit 180kmh where previously only managed 160. Conversely, the milder poncoms in there now have a funky idle making it harder to get off the line, drives poorly in lower revs, laggy and makes less power/torque throughout. Feels better after I swapped the EBC but unless I put it on the Dyno again, I can't say how much better.
    • Hi Sydney kid   do you still selling spring and blistein shocks for Nissan 260rs? Air any suspension upgrades? Please advice     yudy
    • Cams are not needed at this power level, they will create lag. The cam gears are a good idea though.
    • @Murray_Calavera yeah, I guessed as much, cooler temps, more boost, less knock, more timing, hello power. Unfortunately not quite within reach ATM, could upgrade my whole fuel system to support but still wouldn't have E85 to run it 😂  Anyway, I changed cams again, 260/260 poncam B and everything else the same except an EBC upgrade. Now I must say I was quite disappointed with the result as it was like running stock cams (didn't try to dial them in as they're supposed to be optimum already) but after awhile I suspected my new EBC was underperforming not to mention difficult to use. I recently swapped back my old EBC and it drives much better now, boost comes on sooner, more stable, no spikes etc, feels all quicker and faster than with stock cams. Planning to fiddle with the cam gears and see what happens but maybe skip the Dyno as I intend to revert to the HKS cams cos they really made the car come alive; low and mid end was unbelievable and it just wanted to rev to the moon, finally knew what people were raving about, RB26 really loves revs. Anyway, Dyno 03 is quite disappointing, in Dyno 02 although peak power was less and trailed off at the top, the low and mid end improvement more than made up for it.
    • @Darrel It's so tempting to say e85 is borderline magic. It cools the intake charge, so if you're flirting with the edge of the turbos compressor map it helps dramatically cool down the hot air the turbos are pumping. It is very resistant to detonation so you can crank the timing, I don't really want to say you won't be knock limited anymore.... but you probably wont be knock limited anymore lol. I wouldn't be surprised if you made 20% more power swapping to e85 (provided you have the fuel system to support them, bigger injectors maybe bigger pump etc).
