Hey guys,

Well I got an R33 GTST and im having this problem. The car turns off while im driving. It has happened twice now ahwile apart it happens from stop start going through gears then all of a sudden it turns off. Anyone know what could be wrong with it ? It seems to be idle'ing a little low would that have something to do with it ?

check the basics and go see a mechanic

reset the stock ecu, check belts, plugs, fittings in the engine bay

check for any loose plugs or connectors

check the afm plug

check throttle body etc for anything loose

check battery voltage at idle

try and replicate the problem while watching ETCl, SENSOR SW CHECK

on the hand controller

do any of the sensor names go black background or do you notice any wierd values

ie; a shagged throttle body or tps would show TPS with a black background when it goes out of range

Sorry to get in on the other guys thread,

i reset the power fc back to stock r33 base map, fuel pump is new and was fine the past month

im still running the 044 fuel pump but with stock injectors and afm,

will try checking the sensors wen it happens,

it happened just before at 10kmph the car behind me almost smashed into me as its like i hit the brakes then it throttle cam back on 2 secs later and was all back to normal

Had a mate that had this exact problem with his STi, car would just randomly turn off, turns out his ignition barrel was shagged or something and it was rattling loose when driving and turning the car off, new ignition barrel later and a new set of keys and it wa fixed.

Thanks guys was my AFM the wiring even though soldered must have been touching as the afm keep dropping out

all fixed now :)

Mine did the same thing, in the end was dropping out every couple of k's whilst driving, turned out to be the afm as well.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
