I have an auto 1993 turbo R33 gtst nissan skyline that I imported. It was sitting in storage for ages (like a year or two) before I had it complied and since I've been driving it sometimes when I'm stopping and revs are low the engine cuts out completely. It will start straight back up again no worries. Sometimes after driving for a while it will start surging also. Anyway suggestions on where to start looking for the problem??

i have an auto r33 and had the same issue! two things to check. does your idle go funny when you turnthe steering wheel at really slow speeds and does your car have an aftermarket blow off valve! if it has an aftermarket blow off valve get rid of it. fixed mine straight away. makes it legal too. there is plenty of people that want to go pssssshhhh out there so its not hard to swap with someone. also if the power steering pressure switch is playing upit can cause you to stall as well. but its got to be pretty bad.

Hope this helps mate! :P

I think its a stock bov but an aftermarket exhaust it doesnt go pssssshhh. It does it at slow speeds more because its idleing so low like when I start her up to reverse or stopped at traffic lights

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
