Hi,

My mum (yes that's right my mum has gtr haha) anyway she was driving it today and everything was fine and then i am told all of a sudden the engine seemed to cut out for a part of a second as well as lost power steering abs etc and all warning lights on the dash came on and then she stopped, am unclear whether car stalled or cut-out or what cos i wasn't there. Anyway my dad tells her to just start it again and keep goin :chairshot so she started it and kept driving and it happened again but this time stopped for good, nothing works other than lights outside the car and by the sounds of it only stuff that doesn't go through ecu internal electronics etc... they checked fuses but none inside the car looked blown so have no idea. Perhaps all ecu's are fried????

They are getting the car trucked back home.

Does anyone have any idea what could have happened and what could be wrong? My guess is something was shorting out but nothing has been touched on the electronics lately.

Looks like might have to get power fc :)

Thanks

Jamie

Check the fuses near the battery, does it have ignition lights?? check fuses in engine bay. Does the alarm appear to arm and disarm?? Chances of it being an ECU are very slim.

i had a similar problem with my R33, thought the ECU was fried etc or turbo's stuffed...

was accelerating, lost all power, car idled, but when i gave it some gas it would just die.. had to get the car towed..

turned out i had a stuffed AFM (phew!).. might be worth checking?

Ok sorry 4 taking so long to uipdate this. Turns out the car would start again when lef 4 a while. Apparently the hicas computer in the boot was very hot. Anyone know if any of the computers have a thermal protection function or something?

    • Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.    
    • In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
    • planning a r34 rb25 de+t with some other work, rather just have it done in a shop due to space limitations any recommendations? I have most the parts already I seen online Moore Performance and DR Drift any advice appreciated thanks 
    • I’ve read the previous posts so just looking for latest information on how people have dealt with front facing plenum is it a defect etc or didn’t pass roadworthy or was it not noticed? Have a r34 and deciding if I should make a hole on the driver side or not.  I know some people have said blitz return flow but I might get rid of the stock intake down the line for a plenum so I rather set up for that now plus I already have a standard Intercooler. Car is mainly stock  Thanks. 
    • Actually, if having and keeping the stock ECU is the plan, the correct answer is to put Nistune into the ECU and improve the situation, not just look at it.
