to begin i have a r3 s2 (auto, 103000k on the spedo)

the problem is when it have the car in gear and come to a corner with the brakes on the cars starts to run rough (close to stalling). I have taken it to a couple of the local mechanics to get it solved but with no luck. (live in a small country town not much here)

The car has been serviced every 5000k,

list of parts that have been changed so far are

O2 sensor

fuel filter

spark plugs

coil packs

afm

fuel pump (bosch 040)

Auto was serviced at 100000k

timing belt (gates)

tensioners

all fan belts

as you can see it is starting to become a bit of a spend on all these parts

If anyone has any possible ideas it would really help out.

took the car to the local nissan shop today, They had told me last week that they could look at the car and see what the problem might be. Guess what. They refused to look at the car at all and said i would be on my own in fixing this problem. His reason was that he was worried that they would not be able to find out what it might be and that they were happy to take my money and not fix it. (they have seen the car before, he nows what it is and has ordered parts for it before) Dumb shits.

anyone please,

can you help

check the basics?

when did the problem occur?

whats changed since it started happening?

assume stock bov and intake setup? confirm? yes/no

assume standard boost? confirm yes/no

have you tried ECU reset?

have you checked idle RPM (sticker on bonnet identifies target idle RPM)

have you checked timing with timing light

the common basics will likely resolve this issue

it sounds like its stalling may even be auto box related

has that been checked since the auto box service?

    • GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?    
    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
